The Full Body Experiment

I have started a new workout ( one I have never done before) so here is the notes on how it goes. Thanks to P-fink and CowPimp for helping me with it.....but I will just be experimenting the first month so it will change a bit over time.


This is the first time in 15 weeks I have done any pushing movements, shoulder feels good now so here it goes.

DB incline press: 60lbs 3x15 ( just going light on all pressing the first 3 weeks)...felt good...no pain.

Dead Lifts: 315Lbs 4x5 ( I was going to do them first but this Frat kid was doing 55lb BB curls in the squat/dead lift area ).

Lat pulls: 3x10

seated DB press: 45lbs 3x12 ( very light) felt good...no pain.

DB rows: 90Lbs 3x10

Dips: 2x10

DB cursl: 55lbs 2x10


The Basic workout I will be doing

Workout 1. ( Monday)

Dead lifts 3x6
Bench 2x10
DB rows 3x6
Lat pulls 3x8
Military 3x10
standing calf raise 3x12
2 sets of some bicep thing

Workout 2. (Friday)

ATG squat 3x6
SLDL 2x10
DB incline 3x12
seated DB press 3x12
T-bar rows 3x10
Pullups pronated grip 3x10
Skull crushers 3x10 or cgbp

Good luck with this Foreman. I think you'll enjoy a full body program as a nice change of pace. At only twice a week, you probably won't need to do much unloading.

Be very careful with your progression on the pressing movements; shoulder impingment is a bitch and it comes back to haunt people. Do you do any rotator cuff, scapular stabilizer, and/or flexibility work to help prevent future reoccurences?



The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

Yes I do it with both workouts...not sure if that is too much though?

I have no plans to hit the presses hard ever again....I will stiick to the light weight ( 50-60lb DB) for the next 4-5 workouts then move up very slowly.

That's fine. Recommendations seem to usually be 2-3 times per week, except for flexibility training, which can be more frequently than that.

Smart move. It sucks, but hopefully it means you can extend your lifting career.

Good workout, are you going to keep upping the weight on the pushing crap?

What is wrong with the knee?

Shoulder feels better....I have only been hitting it once every 10-14 days....now I will try 2x a week but never training to failure.

Fucked up the knee this last year running....think it is done, Deads and squats don't hurt it so in a few weeks I will try them again....might even do deads this week.

I've had knee pains from aerobic stuff like running and tennis, but it never will bother my while lifting weights. Are you totally ruling out a raw bench comp. in the future?

Yes, I'm done with any comp dreams. My body can't handle the heavy weights. Now at 255 I just want to cut up around 225-230 and stay slim year round...I can hit about 425 Raw now and thats enough, just want to keep that strenght level at 225-230 and cut.
