Simple as simple gets

**njc** · 03-31-2005, 09:11 AM

Alright people, Ive grown tired of trying to come up with these complicated splits, set and rep schemes, etc.
What ive decided to do is make the simplest, no-brainer workout routine that I feel will take some of the guess work out of everything, allowing me to just go to the gymn and bust my ass with a simple scheme. Here it goes, easy to follow, maybe not the most optimal of routines, I know some of you may think its goofy that im doing the same amount of sets for bis as chest but i love its simplicity.

2 movements for each muscle group, same set and rep scheme- roughly 12,8,7,5. The last 2 movements are performed to total failure.

M-Chest, Abs, Tris
T- 3 mile jog
W-Quads, Shoulders, Calves
TH-3 mile jog
F- Back, hams, bis
S- 3 mile jog
Su- 3 mile jog or rest.

Whataya think?

Simple it is. Effective? Only time will tell.

Simple indeed. Looks a little time consuming though. It'll take some serious dedication. What's one of your workouts look like?

Monday

A couple sets of pushups for warmup

Bench Press- 12,8,7,6
Flyes- 12,12,10,8

Skull Crushers-12,10,10,5
Triceps pushdown-12,12,8,8

Decline situps-4 sets, generally to failure
Another ab excercise- 4 sets, generally to failure

Ill usually take most of my sets close to failure but not usually all the way unless its the last set of the movement. I do not come close to failure on my first set of each movement. I will be doing hard stretching at the completion of each last set for each movement.

Thanx for the input guys.

Looking good man. I love doing push ups before starting on some heavy bench pressing! I'd love to see a journal of your progess. Before and after pics?
