    A different workout (not rouitnes or splits)

    Instead of doing a rotine where theres a push/leg/pull workout and a split where u work different muscles on different days regardless of pushing and pulling, would it be ok to do a weekly workout where there is a strength day 1/mass muscle building day 1/strength day 2/mass muscle building day 2? On all the strength days u do 3-5 reps and on all the mass/muscle days u do 8-12 reps. Is it good or useless?

    What do u mean? Its just doing some strength training exercises on strength days 1 and 2 and some mass building exercises on mass muscle day 1 and 2.
    Ok, my tris will go under strength day 1, legs will go under strength day 2, my back and chest under mass muscle day 1, and my shoulders on mass muscle day 2. Nevermind that, is doing a strength day 1/mass muscle building day 1/strength day 2/mass muscle building day 2 a good workout?

    Why not find you a push/ pull/leg routine where you work all the rep ranges. Kind of like a iron man program.

    Bench press
    Set 1.......weight you can get 8 reps
    Set 2 add weight and get 3 reps
    Set 3 decrease weight and get 12 reps

    You'll be working all muscle fibers. you have Mass and strength in that type of training

    Yeah, you could do that. I would do something like this:

    Day A - Strength:
    Deadlift
    Bench Press
    Row

    4 sets of 4 reps with full recovery (Up to 5 minutes) between sets.


    Day B - Hypertrophy:
    Squats
    Military Press
    Chinups
    Romanian Deadlifts
    DB Bench Press
    Seated Rows

    3-4 sets of 8-10 reps with 60 seconds rest between sets.


    Day C - Power + Endurance:
    Power Cleans
    Push Press

    6 sets of 3 reps @ 10RM with 120 seconds rest between sets.

    Band Assisted Glute Ham Raises
    DB Unilateral Standing Overhead Press
    Supinated Pulldowns

    2-3 sets of 12 reps with 45 seconds rest between sets.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Yea thats a good idea actually, but would it be possible if i could do 2 hypertrophy days instead of 1 but do everything else u said? I just feel more comfortable doing my overhead presses on a seperate day.

    Sure, I don't see why not. Just workout on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or some such viable split for a full body program like this, and alternate but place a second B workout after the C workout. Like so:

    Mon - A
    Wed - B
    Fri - C

    Next week...

    Mon - B
    Wed - A
    Fri - B

    Next week...

    Mon - C
    Wed - B
    Fri - A


    So you're going ABCB repeat. Make sense?
