HELP! Maximum Growth 8-Week Size and Strength
I have recently been using a program I made up myself.. i go to the gym 3 times a week..
Monday and Thursday for upperbody, and Fridays for Legs..
Monday limit myself to around 4-5 sets for each muscle group(but having an intense workout.
Friday is legs day...
My workout goes:
Monday: Dumbell press 4x10
Flies 1x10
Rows: 4x10
chins: 2x failure
Lateral Raise: 3x12
Bi curls 1x12
and Tri pushdowns 2x15
Repeat Thursday(switchin the excercises around, but stayin same groups and set ranges..
Now is this a decent plan?
A guy at the gym showed me a book he got online called "maximum growth volume 2: 8-week size and strength"
it was a free book, so he gave me one and i read. the work out consists of 3 times upper body a week Monday, Weds and Friday.. and Legs Saturday.
a sample week is... Monday: chest, shoulders, tris, bis, abs...
Wed: back/traps, shoulders, tri's bis..
Fri: Chester Shoulders tris bi's abs..
Sat: Legs, Calves.
No this seems like an awful lot to be training bi's, tri's...
A plan for a monday on the Maximum Growth looks like this:
Monday:
Bench Press 2x8 than 2x6
Incline Dumbell 1x10 than 3x8
Shouldres
Seated barbell: 1x12 than 3x10
Dumbell side raise: 1x12 than 2x10
Tris
Pushdown 1x15
superset with Incline dumbell curl 1x15
than repeat 4 times
than abs, crunchs 20x3.
What do you have to say about hte maximum growth, it switchs exercises everyday, but stays about the same.. PLEASE HELP!?

If theres a bit of belief that the book is bullshit then it probably is. I took a quick look at it and theres a ton of shoulder activity, seems pretty dumb to me.

alright.. cause the guy claimed in 8 weeks his bench went up around 40lbs and he put on around 10lbs of good weight..
but looking over the routine, it just seems like alot of overtraining. i mean 8 sets of biceps every other training day? MWF.

yep, horribly unbalanced...I train lower body as much as I train upper body.
And you don't put on 10bls of "good weight" in 8 weeks by just using a better workout routine either.
