Thread: New workout ideas please...

You could use an upper/lower split or westside routine

I see that you are trying to bulk up. Bulking is more about diet than training...Keep that in mind.

Yikes Bikes...How the hell are you squatting 3 out of the 4 days you workout? No offense but I don't see how this program hasn't put you in the ground yet. I guess to each his own(if your growing). Try the 5/3/1 program if you want a good strength program.

I have been training for about 2 years now 3/4 days per week & I tend to switch from a full body workout for 5 or so weeks to a body split for 4-5 weeks.

Vernon...are you just copying pieces of peoples posts and pasting them in your reply? You did the same thing with "scary thing happened after gym" or whatever thread. Don't do this shit just to get your post count up. It wastes space and helps nobody. If your going to reply at least put it in your own words.

x2 on the 531 program, it has been amazing for strength. I do my main lifts then I move into a morphed heavy/BB workout from there and it has been great.

just eat normally no junk ...when you train don't stay too long in the gym work maximum two bodyparts , low reps like 4 and 5 will make you stronger but will not increase your size, try to choose weights you can do at least 10 reps, when you lift , lift fast and on the negatives go slow . rest well and workout a body part once a week , maximum twice.

Go online and read articles from christin thibadeau, chad waterbury, or charles poliquin and pick one of there routines that fits your ideas of great routine. Your current routine is bizare to say the least (no offense) and you dont have sets reps tempo or rest periods listed so its impossible to even know what type of routine it is. The exercises aren't always as important in a routine as are set/reps/tempo/rest period, that is what makes a program goal oriented
