Thread: old school workout

how does this workout look?

Workout One
1.) Squat – 5 sets of 5 reps.
Do 2 sets of progressively heavier warmup sets followed by 3 hard work sets. It should be very, very tough to get all 5 reps on all 3 sets. Once you can, and it will take time, add 10 to 20 lbs. and start over again.
2.) Bench Press – 5 sets of 5 reps as above.
3.) Chins – 5 x 5.
4.) Dips – 5 sets of 10 reps.
Do two progressively heavier warmup sets of 10 reps followed by 3 work sets, using enough weight to make it damn hard to perform all 3 sets of 10.
5.) Dumbell Curls – 5 x 10 as above.

Workout Two
1.) Deadlift – 5 x 5 as above.
2.) Standing Barbell Press – 5 x 5.
3.) Barbell Rows- 5x5
4.) Barbell Curl – 5 x 5.


Workout Three
1.) Squat – 5 to 6 sets of 2 reps.
Do several progressively heavier warmup sets of 2 reps until you reach the absolute maximum weight you can handle for 2 all-out reps. If you’re new to low-rep training you may have to take the first few workouts easy to until your body becomes accommodated. After that, don’t hold back anything.
2.) Close Grip Bench Press – 5 to 6 sets of 2 reps as above.
3.) Hammer Curls – 5-6 x 2 as above.
4.) Incline Dumbell Press – 5 x 5 as above.
5.) Stiff-legged Deadlift – 5 x 5.
