Thread: Need some opinions.

The most glaring issue I see is the lack of leg movements. You have only 2 sets for leg press and 1 set for squats and besides deadlifts...that's all I see. Your legs are the foundation of your physique and should be worked just as hard as the rest of your body.

And if Chest is your weak spot, you should be hammering it. Flat bench, incline, decline with more volume. 2x6 is just not going to get it. Especially if you are currently on gear, your body can handle a lot more.

I have had great success running a 5x5 routine during my last cycle. My strength went through the roof and I gained a good bit of mass. That might be something you want to look into.

During my off days i do Cardio.
Most of that involves Legs.
Running Jumping hoping skipping with a weight Vest on so legs take the most punishment.

My old chest and Tri day had a good bit of volume.

Wide Bench 5x6
Close Bench 5x6
Incline 5x5
Db Press 10x5
French press 10x3
Dips 10x3
Press up 10x10
Triceps Pushdown 10x3
Skull crusher 3x10

But was told this Was "Overkill" so toned it down.

Thinking of going back to my old ways of smashing the shit out of it.

Tris are a bit overkill.

Try this on for size: setsxreps

Flat bench 5x5
Incline Dumbell 4x6
Decline Bench 5x5
Flys 4x8

Skull crushers: 4x6
Weighted Dips: 4x6
Tricep pushdowns: 4x8

18 sets for Chest
12 sets for tri's

No need to be a sarcastic prick.
I do squats as you can see above.

The jumping and hoping is a really good workout if you try it.
Get even more thought when you are weight down with 20-30kg

Hm if you were doing all that it is clear to me that you need to up the intensity. Try to add slightly more weight every time and going to failure at least on a few sets. I myself like HIT and pretty much go til near failure every set. Today I did 4 sets for legs and I had trouble walking to the locker room. I would keep chest and triceps movements to 20 sets together at the very most, and that would be doing a 5x5 set up or something like that. I dont go above 8 sets and usually do about 5.

The first post in thread looks a lot better of a workout but I would drop a few of the isolation exercises.

Maybe something similar to this, you seemed to have a lot of volume for small muscles like forearms and triceps. Heavy compound movements take care of small muscles pretty good. You can fully work your biceps without doing any curls, but if you want to do a few sets its fine. just change some of these exercises every once and a while and make sure you are progressing with either weight or reps each workout and youll be good.

Its very Rare that i use that sort of language online,
But i just really couldn't be bothered with stupid comments that day.

Forget the name of the training but involves places cones or markers down 5 meters apart and jumping with one leg to the other for say 30m.
You may have heard of it maybe not.





Will just stick to the first workout i posted up.
Been getting some great strength Gains from it,
The idea of it is to up the intensity every 2-3 weeks.

Good routine. Great goals & lot of hope.
Wish u luck big fellow.

Dont have to do 5 sets or 10 sets.

But, at least 3. clean.
