    Strength Training

    Ive been training approximetly 2 years now, doing various routines and trying new exercises. I have benched 150k, (at the time i neglected the squat and the deadlift) which were Squat - 100k 1rm and dealift 142.5 - 1rm

    Recently I have started to see some shape in the arms and legs, but now im interested in gaining size and power and doing some powerlifting, so i gain the nessesary muscle size tostart serious bodybuilding in a few years.

    Now ive done some research and found a routine, and i ave modified it a bit, could someone tell me if this is a good routine?

    Also i have got a bit of a belly so im trying to work that off, (rugby train twice a week, play once a week)

    Here is the rputine i have put together

    Sunday: Squat, front squat, pause squat, calf raises, hamstring curls, abs

    Tuesday: Bench, incline bench, millitary press, side laterals, french press,

    Thursday: Deads, Barbell Shrugs, bent over barbell rows, abs

    Friday: (bench assistance) Close grip bench, pause bench, front plate raise, DB hammer curls, pause french press,
    barbell curls

    Looks as though you are covering all the basics which is good.

    If it were me and power the goal I would swap the French press for skullcrushers( lying triceps extensions). I would add some lat pulldowns or chins. I would forget the barbell curls and do dumbell curls doing full rotation from bottom where the palms will be pronated to a full supinated palm at the top of the curl.

    Remember that the biceps are responsible for rotation of the forearm so the dumbell will allow you to work it in a natural range of motion.

    Just my opinion.
    Just a regular guy.
