Originally posted by Prince the volume is actually a bit low for my taste, but it's okay. I assume all working sets will be to failure and that is the reason for such low volume, right? |

Originally posted by Prince many things can ultimately lead to overtraining, going to failure on all working sets every work-out can lead you to overtraining as well. |
|
Originally posted by Prince Just be careful, if you do not use dumbbells and barbells you are neglecting the synergistic muscles and can eventually lead to injury, especially rotator cuffs. I train alone and never have a spot.

Originally posted by Prince I like to do around 6 for small body parts and 9 for large (on average). I never go to absolute failure on exercises like free weight bench press. |
|
Originally posted by Prince for the type of training you're doing I would say 2-3 minutes rest intervals. |

Add pressing movements -- DBs or barbell to the front. Cybex machine? Come on man, grab them dumbbells, and do them seated. Need bent over laterals for those rear heads.|

Originally posted by Monolith How can you go to failure on stuff like bench press without a spot? |

Originally posted by Twin Peak I have, repeatedly. He is even starting to do them now. I think. We still disagree, however. |
(DG's in disbelief!)

Originally posted by Twin Peak 1) You should be in the 8-12 working sets per BP per week. 2) Chest needs inclines, somewhere. 3) Tris need some power movement, closegrips, skull crushers, overhead DB press, etc. 4) Legs kill abductors, add squats or at least front squats. Do SLDL for hammies in addition to or instead of curls. 5) Back needs more work, also needs power movements. You should add deadlifts and rows at least. Deads -- learn to love em. Rows can alternate from barbell to DB to T-Bar. Seated cables are you be used sparingly. 6) Shoulders -- guess what my comments are going to be. Add pressing movements -- DBs or barbell to the front. Cybex machine? Come on man, grab them dumbbells, and do them seated. Need bent over laterals for those rear heads.7) Flip flop the exercise order. Overall you stray away from power movements, and do to many hammer strength machines. |

Originally posted by CaptainDeadlift If you are worried about your triceps being shot after having worked chest, pair biceps with chest and do triceps on the same day as shoulders. For information on various lifts, go here: http://exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html |

Originally posted by Monolith I think i might take your suggestion on swapping bi's and tri's. You dont think that's a lil excessive, though? Working tri's indirectly on monday, then hitting them again on friday? |
|
Originally posted by jasonbrunt hey TP... I have a question about your advice about the back. Why use the seated cable rows sparingly? Curious for my own routine... |
|
Originally posted by Twin Peak I can do 1 BP in 30-45 minutes, tops. If you want to shorten it, you should do chest and tris and back and bis as the tris and bis will already be warm, and you can get away with less work. |
|
Originally posted by Twin Peak Same, between 75-90 minutes. I take a long time to warm up. |
|
Originally posted by Monolith Looking at the monday routine i just did, how long would that take you? |
