what do you think of my routine?

eire_245 · 02-12-2007, 12:53 PM

im have just returned to weightlifting after a long lazy spell!
i have been doing a 3x full body routine
1 warm up set with just the bar followed by 12,10,8,6
reps increasing in weight, sometimes just doing 10,8,6
with rest time between sets about 60 seconds or just enough time to change plates and get myself set up for the next exercise

i have been focusing on compound movements and have been doing

squats
deadlifts
flat bench
bent over dumbbell rows

i fell pretty shot after these, but was wondering should i add in non- compound movements for triceps,shoulders and bi`s as im not too sure if these are getting fully worked?

any help greatly appreciated!

What are your goals? What type of condition are you in: are you trying to lose weight, gain weight, train for something in particular etc.? Total body 2-3times a week is a good idea using compound movements- but how you set things up is dependent on your goals...

Dips are awsome for chest/tri's/shoulders, Pullups for back/bi's/forearms, I use them both and they work my arms well, your arms get worked more than you think there's realy no need for isolating them, but each man to his own!

Hope this helps......
