    Full Body Split

    Hello,

    I am 34, male 150 lbs seeking to slightly increase my muscle mass. I have been working out for over four years now.

    Over the few years, I have varied my workouts in various different ways and am giving a shot for Full body Split after a long time.

    Based on CowPimp's Designing Full Body Split, I have come up with the following:


    Full Body Routine
    (3 sessions/week)

    Workout A (Push):
    1. Back Squats
    2. Barbell Clean Press
    3. Lunges
    4. Bench Press
    5. Standing Calf Raises
    6. Dips
    7. Seated Calf Raises



    Workout B (Pull):
    1. Deadlift
    2. Bent Over Rows
    3. Leg Curls
    4. Chin-ups
    5. Incline Dumbbell Flys
    6. Alternate Dumbbell Curls
    7. Shrugs

    Notes:
    • Week 1: Workout A is high-rep and Workout B is low-rep.
    • Week 2: Workout A is low-rep and Workout B is high-rep
    • ..and so on
    • Three workouts per week, performed on alternate days (M/W/F, or T/T/S, etc.)
    • Workout pattern: A-B-A, B-A-B, A-B-A, and so on.

    Please advise,
    Sak

    What do you consider to be high rep and low rep?

    I'd advise against doing high-rep clean presses.

    Is that total number of reps or just number of reps in each set? If so, how many sets are you going to do?

    This is not my attempt at a plug, but I think you could gain a lot of info from the stickied thread on rep ranges. That will give you some good ideas and from there we can help you with specifics.

    The high/low rep range is for each set. Yes, I have read the stickies and designed the program based on that.
