my new routine

**michael74737** · 12-26-2005, 08:35 PM

I just trashed my old one and decided to try HIT. I got this routine off another site (http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/hitworkout.htm)

Squats 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Leg Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Leg Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Dumbbell Pullovers 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Barbell Overhead Shoulder Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Seated Rows 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Bench Press 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Barbell Bicep Curls 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Tricep Extensions 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Weighted Pullups 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Weighted Dips 1 X 8 - 10 reps
Standing Calf Raises 1 X 8 - 12 reps
Abs - 1 X 10 - 15 reps

anyways this is my question. Instead of Leg Curls can I do Deadlifts and not mess up the routine?

Leg curls are for the hamstrings so the appropriate exercise with which to replace them would probably be the SLDL. If you're really going to attempt to do that all in a single workout, make sure you do the largest, most compound movements first and foremost. This means the SLDLs, rows and benches should come directly after the squats.

Yeah, what he said, although I feel deadlifts would also work just fine. Honestly, you could even simplify the workout further if it's a full body routine. I only do 5-7 movements each time when I do full body routines.

I just do the C&J. Heh, heh...

Honestly, you might as well design your own routine. There is no reason to use a canned routine like that. Unless perhaps it is designed with a specific performance-oriented goal in mind, such as increasing vertical jump height. Even then it is optimal to attack your weak points with additional volume beyond what a generalized routine can provide.

Check out my template on designing a full body routine and make your own. I believe I even made a link to my dinosaur training routine in there, which was purely HIT.
