Thread: Comment my workout please

Goals?

as i said: hypertrophy. Sorry if i wasnt clear.

This is supposed to be what, a pull or back/bicep workout? No rowing?

Ummm...reps are kind of high for bulking. What is your split?

I think compound exercises are best for bulking, with maybe one isolation exercise per body part...

I'd need to see your whole split and routine to comment. But I think this needs a little work.

Reps from 8-15 are great for hypertrophy

A teacher/coach/trainer (whatver you call it) created a program for me, in order to get hypertrophy.

I would like to see your comments on this program. I just need to say, that i will post only one of the workout days (the other part is in the gym, not here).

So, the the program is 3 days a week. In each session i will be doing about 10-15 min cardio, then some Abs (3-4 sets).It will end with some card again. Dont understand why this cardio in the end , because to much cardio may burn to much nutrients. Can explain this? Anyway the session of today was like this (after the cardio):

Abs: 3-4 sets with 15-20 reps
Inverted ABs (pushing legs back): same as above
Lat Bar Bulldown: 4 sets: 15, 12, 10, 10 reps
Inverted Lat BarPulldown: 15, 12, 12 10 reps
Waist Exercise? (dont know the name): its an exercise similar to Abs but for the end of the spine instead: 3-4 sets with 10-15 reps more or less
Cable biceps (dont know the exact name, its biceps using an EZ Bar attached to a cable): 3x: 8-12 reps on each set
Scott Biceps: 3x: about 8-12 reps on each set
Cardio-15-20 mins i think

What do you think about this session? As soon as i can i will be posting the next to other sessions.

In general it seems a good workout but i would like to see what other guys think about it.

Thanks

First off he is an idiot!!!

You need compound movements and also need a better set up

Some examples:

Push: bench, incline, military, dips
off:
Legs: squats, stiff leg dead lifts calf raises
off
Pull: Rows, lat pulls, pullups, shrugs, DB curls
off:
off
I would hit cardio on the off days 2-3 times a week if you really need it

Don't you think it's better to have a varying set rep scheme, ranging from 6-12 reps?

Like this, if it was a 3 day full body split:

5*6
3*10
2*12

I mean do you think it's a good idea to stay between 8-15 all the time?
