I guess it depends on how wide you grab the bar

Worth a shot!

The strongest presser I know personally maxes out on the flat press 3x a week. Goes to show, I guess you can make anything work for you if you have the right music and drive

And we all know you do Brother Angel.

Thank you SO much for the encouragement Brother Luke, much appreciated!!! I just might give it a whirl next week!!! Don't want to shake the foundation too much, as I'm @ 12 weeks out from D-Day!!!

Again, Excellent advice!!! Didn't think too much when I wrote it down!!! I like your split idea ALOT!!! Do you think the Delt work before would hinder Chest work later???

Everyone is different and with low volume workouts I think it would be work well. I'd rather have my Chest a little weaker than have my lower back give out since I did my leg workout to close to my back workout.....ya know what I mean? Especially when you are squating 400 +

so you have three days between Back and Legs.

I vote for this split. I know I'm not lifting nearly as much as you, but on the days I have done chest after back day, I have notice increases in weight on my chest day. Go figure

Kal · 02-22-2006, 09:33 PM

cant add much to this conversation, since I cant lift a mouse right now, but looking good for your D Day brother.....Just stoping in to say H!!!!!!

b_reed23 · 02-23-2006, 01:26 AM

things are looking great in here Angel! Always changing things up!

nice numbers on those DB preachers by the way...they are very tough to do!

Pylon · 02-23-2006, 06:49 AM

I like the new split, Arch, for what it's worth.

How's next week look for a late lunch sometime?

DeadBolt · 02-23-2006, 09:38 AM

Archie split looks good. I agree with the back/chest/legs order. I wouldn't worry about delts getting in the way of chest b/c you do such low volume. Not to mention you'll adjust to the workout in a week or two anyhow!

WantItBad · 02-23-2006, 09:52 AM

split looks good and keep up the good work have you thought about full body splits since you do such low volume?

Archangel · 02-23-2006, 05:00 PM

Brother Gary - Thank you my Friend, I can always count on you!!!

, just tryin to keep my body from figuring out I'm tormenting it, ya know!!!

Brother YM - Your right my Friend, thank you for the advice!!!

Sister Devlin - Thank you also, very interesting!!! I'll br giving it a go next week!!!

Brother Kal - Hey now, your input/advice is just as important to me too my Friend!!! Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Sister Billie - Thank you too my Friend!!! Hey, I gotta keep the ole body guessin, right?!!?

Brother Pylon - Thank you, I'm definatly gonna give it a shot, starting next week!!! Hmmm, Maybe Wedneday???

Brother Bolt - Thank you my Friend, I'll be doing it next week, and I appreciate your input and encouragement too my Friend!!!

Brother Bad - Thank you too my Friend!!! I have done full body, and really enjoyed it, but don't want to shake it up too bad just yet before my contest!!!

NO CARDIO TODAY-LEGS SAID

New split and routine will involve Pre-exhausts/drop-sets/static holds, so BRING IT ON!!!

WantItBad · 02-23-2006, 05:04 PM

wheres your contest

boilermaker · 02-23-2006, 05:08 PM

I don't think you have to worry about shortcutting your chest by doing delts first. You are doing sets of cable crosses to sort of pre-exhaust the chest anyway. So, you should be able to push the pecs to failure before your arms/shoulders weaken. At least that's how I understand it from Mentzer's book. Certainly, don't depend on my advice though, I'm just a novice with a book

Pylon · 02-23-2006, 06:56 PM

I'll pencil you in for Wednesday and check back as it gets closer.

Don't know if that good or bad that your legs said

Well regardless a day of rest will do you good. Looking forward to the new split.

dougnukem · 02-23-2006, 09:26 PM

Well, since everything that's needed to be said has been said, I had planned on going with a similar split for the same reasons. Only difference for me is doing arms with shoulder, since I keep the volume low for them anyways.
