Not a "normal" practice, but done on occasion for the shock value!

For the beginner I recommend using just P and RR weeks, while foregoing SHOCK for about 6 months. I also do not recommend training to failure on each set, but staying about a rep short on most sets.

Well, that is a bit of a tall order. Try this first...go to this site:

http://www.exrx.net/

Click on exercise instruction, then exercise directory and you will be able to find dozens of exercises (with video) for each bodypart. This should help you make substitutions with what you have available.

Cable side lateral...2 x 10-12 --> Lateral Raises?
Rack deadlift...3 x 3-6 -- > RDL? If I have SLDL friday won't this be to much? basically same thing right?



Leg press...3 x 4-6 (Substitute)
Single leg extension...2 x 4-6 (Substitute)
Lying leg curl...3 x 4-6 (Substitute)

Can I substitute them 3 with just deadlifts? How many sets?


Single arm dumbell extension --> Don't know this exercise
Incline dumbell press --> Meaning like military presses or what
Single arm dumbell press -- > like DB bench press but with one arm?
Bent Laterals -- > How do I do them exactly?



Leg extension...2 x 8-10 (Substitute)
- Hack squat...3 x 10-12 (Substitute)
- One legged leg press...3 x 12-15 (Substitute)
- Lying leg curl...2 x 6-8 (Substitute)
Single leg curl or seated leg curl...1-2 x 10-12 (Substitute)

What can I substitute with all them?

I am totally lost what to put for the shock week lol

I am wondering if this program would be good for me. I am training for size right now, especially in my legs. I have a herniated disk, but after months of rehab, the doctor has let me do squats and deads again. So far so good, but the weight is light.

I want to put a program together, but I wouldnt know if this is a good idea with my back.. Since Ive been back at the gym, my back hasnt gotten any worse and my weight is coming back on the deads and squats, so I kinda really dont know!



6' 209lbs (8/16)
Bench 365 (12/3)
Weighted Pullups 80lbs 3x3 (3/19)
Squat 370
Deadlift after herniation 385lbs 3x3 (3/17)
NASM certified 2/06

My power week irritated my back when I did squats. It was the first time my back felt affected since Ive been back into the gym. I believe it was cuz of my extreme jump in weight for the sake of the Power week.

I was doing 4 sets 155lbs before p/rr/s.
I did 3 sets of 225lbs, 6 reps. Pretty big jump.

I am in rep range week and all is better. I will have to substiture squats though...then again, if that intesity is what did it, then much lighter weights for common sense AND the rep range week could entail atg squats again.

Might be better off being safer than sorry.

You don't need to change anything! Let PRRS maintain all of your muscle, while diet and cardio takes care of the fat burning!

I want to put a program together, but I wouldnt know if this is a good idea with my back.. Since Ive been back at the gym, my back hasnt gotten any worse and my weight is coming back on the deads and squats, so I kinda really dont know!
I also have a severely herniated disk in my low back, but continue to make gains on PRRS. I just have had to adjust the exercises a bit.

I know this is old, but would this be to much training? GP, if using a 3 day split, what changes would you make to it? Thank you!

No, it is not too much training as long as you are getting enough rest and proper food to recover from workout to workout.

Do not train triceps before chest, but chest, then delts, then tris.

Here is the best site I know of to find BB/DB exercises for each muscle:
