That isn't a routine. You do it all in one day? Whats the scheduale?

Xantix · 06-06-2004, 09:53 PM

Yea, that'd be one long day at the gym for me, and painful the next morning.

Might want to consider splitting your workout into more concentrated muscle groups, not just fullbody workouts everytime you hit the gym.

Example maybe one day go Chest and Back for your workout doing maybe three excercises for each each muscle.

So maybe go bench presses, dumbell flies, and pullovers for your chest and then something similar for upper and lower back.

Read some people's journals to get ideas is usually how I like to find out different routines to try and see how they work for me

nothing wrong with full body routines, you just have to set it up correctly. First of all you have three compound moves for your chest but just one for your legs? You should be squatting, stiff legged deadlifting, lunging, leg pressing etc. Forget about isolation moves on a full body, except where necessary (bi's, calves etc). You should probably also throw some OH presses/laterals in there for your shoulders. and do core work for you lower back, stuff like back hyperextensions, good mornings etc. Try and get rows in there somewhere (maybe one week do pull ups/downs, next week rows and keep switching them up), and maybe give your tri's some direct work too.

i do this routine 5 days a week at least. it was suggested by my brother who was always in the gym and is very strong. he told me it would be hard and painful but thats part of it.

Yanick · 06-07-2004, 07:05 PM

do whatever you want...i told you what i think of the routine.

Premo55 · 06-07-2004, 07:46 PM

3x10, first of all, is way too much volume even for one exercise. I'd do 3x10 for maybe squats, even then it's a bit excessive to be doing that much for one exercise in one workout. Furthermore, you're doing that for a whole crapload of exercises...you must be in there for 3 hours at a time

Peace.

I did a full body routine for a while. Compound exercises are key, and direct arm work is not really necessary most of the time. Use 1-6 repititions for building strength and 8-12 for gaining muscles mass (In general). I would start at more like 12-15 if you are just beginning to lift. That way you can get your form down so as not to injure yourself. As well, I wouldn't do a full body routine more than 3 days per week. Every other day sometimes works too, but that is pushing it. Here is the one I would suggest as a baseline:

Full Squats 3 x 1-12
Romanian Deadlifts 3 x 1-12

Deadlifts 3 x 1-12
Wide Chinups 3 x 1-12

Bench Press 3 x 1-12
Military Press 3 x 1-12

Bicycle Crunches 3 x Failure
Reverse Crunches 3 x Failure

Another day you might do:

Leg Press 3 x 1-12
Hyperextensions 3 x 1-12

Bent Rows 3 x 1-12
CG Chinups 3 x 1-12

Dips 3 x 1-12
Upright Rows 3 x 1-12

Hanging Leg Raises 3 x Failure
Weighted Crunches 3 x 1-12

You can't possibly asses that unless you know how many sets he is doing. Full body routines are great for a change of pace. I did them for quite a long time.
