IM GOING TO START THIS ROUTINE I MADE UP, I DO THIS ALL FROM HOME ALL I HAVE IS A BENCH, BARBELL, AND DUMBBELLS, AND SOME WEIDER MACHINE THAT I DO MY CHINS ON AND MY SQUATS, ITS LIKE THE TOTAL GYM BY CHUCK NORRIS, I CANT GET A GYM MEMBERSHIP BECAUSE IM ONLY 15. I DONT TAKE ANY SUPPLEMENTS, BUT IM GOING TO START TAKING WHEY PROTEIN. IM 6FEET TALL, 235(IM VERY OVERWEIGHT) MY MAX CURL IS 75, MY MAX BENCH IS ONLY 130, I KNOW ITS BAD, THE MAIN REASON I STARTED WEIGHT LIFTING(ABOUT 1YEAR AGO) IS TO LOSE FAT, AND TO BUILD MUSCLE SO I CAN JOIN MY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM IF I GET STRONG ENOUGH, ONCE I STARTED WEIGHT LIFTING I LOVED IT AND I ENJOY IT ALOT
JUST TELL ME IF THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY ROUTINE , THANX
Day 1- Chest, Triceps
Day 2- Back, Biceps
Day 3- Legs, Shoulders
Day 4- OFF
Day 5- Total Body Workout
Day 6- OFF
Back to Day 1
for all exercises its a 10-6 rep range with the same weight for each set, except for squats i do 10-15 reps
the total body workout isnt anything serious I keep it light, I do it just because i like lifting light weights, its a different feeling than heavy weights, and its kinda endurance training, and for cardio I play basketball for about an hour after lifting, than I plan on having a whey protein shake after basketball, (sorry about the caps i dunno how to change it without re-writing it)

Don't like it....do push, pull, legs or a total body workout, don't like how you mix them.

It hurts my eyes - can you please edit to remove the caps?

- You're mixing a FBW and P/P/L (sort of) split - you either need to be one or the other or cycle them over a few weeks.
- It is better to not work out for more than 2 consecutive days.
- You don't have your rep-range listed
- You're doing too much direct bicep work
- The program is basically all over the shop
- You say you're trying to lose fat but mention no cardio at all

Try:
Training for Retards
Training 101
Cowpimp's Training Routines

You change it from caps like this:

Ok based on your current program and exercises here goes nothing:

A

day 1- Push (chest, triceps, etc)
day 2 – Rest/cardio
day 3- Pull (back, biceps, shoulders, etc)
day 4 – Rest/cardio
day 5- Legs (legs, abs, grip)
day 6- Rest
day 7- Rest

B
day 1- FBW
day 2 – Rest
day 3 – Rest
day 4 – FBW
day 5 – Rest
day 6 – Rest
day 7 – FBW
day 8 – Rest
day 9 – Rest
day 10 – Back to Workout A



Push
1. Flat BB Bench – 4x2-5
2. Military DB press – 3x8-12
3. Incl/Decl DB Bench – 3x8-12 – alt each time
4. Weighted dips – 3x10-15 – last set till failure with BW only.
5. Tricep extensions – 2x10-15

Pull
6. Deadlift 4x2-5
7. Weighted Chins – 4x2-5 – alternate the grip each time you do this
8. Bent-over DB row- 3x8-12
9. DB curl – 3x8-12

Legs (+grip + abs)
10. Squats 4x2-5
11. DB Lunges 3x8-12
12. Stiff leg deadlifts- 3x6-10
13. DB static holds – 3x20secs
14. Weighted crunches – 4x20

FBW
1. Military DB press – 4x12-15
2. Chins-4x12-15
3. DB Incl/Decl/Flat Bench – 4x12-15 -alt each time
4. Bent-over DB row-4x12-15
5. Squat/Deadlift – 4x12-15

Now before I get flamed:

- I was trying to keep as many of your exercises as possible;
- I was trying to have as many DB exercises as possible so you don't half kill yourself training at home with no spotter;
- I was trying to give you a power week (P/P/L) and a volume week (FBW);
- I was trying to make sure you do the core strength building exercises first, with low reps and heavier mass, followed by the supplementary exercises, lower weight and higher reps, afterwards.

And thus we have Adam's P/RR/S/Westside/Mike456/halfarsed training program yo'!

It needs a lot of work - but hey it's a start (i normally just steal someone elses program - it's much easier than coming up with something yourself)

Looks ok to me......but the 2-5 rep thing is fucked IMO. If he was a power lifter getting ready for a contest then fine but for a guy looking to gain muscle size and strength 6-12 reps are better and safer.

Yeah - you're probably right - his form would most likely be all over the shop to begin with anyway and it'd not be safe to be going so heavy until he gets his form in order.

Thanx alot Adam
Is it ok to do cardio everday after lifting?
By the way I use perfect form in all my exercises
Is it ok to do 1 more tricep exercise, 2 more bicep and shoulder exercises, because you only put 1 for each. I have the time to do them, what am i losing if I do them
I got stuck under the bar acouple of times, but its no big deal I just dump the weight to my right
And I cant do dips and what are static holds? thanx

By the way I use perfect form in all my exercises - no one does
Is it ok to do 1 more tricep exercise, 2 more bicep and shoulder exercises, because you only put 1 for each. I have the time to do them, what am i losing if I do them - bench; chinups; dips; deadlift; squats - are compound exercises and will work these muscles to an extent.
I got stuck under the bar acouple of times, but its no big deal I just dump the weight to my right
And I cant do dips and what are static holds? - you do dips off the bench and stack weight on yourself; static holds - hold a dumbell infront of you without moving it
thanx
