Thread: Full Body Critique

Hello,

I like full body 3days a week myself.
I think you could adjust it or add some variations to it, now and then as you think fit.

1) superset chest and back exercises
*Antagonist supersetting can help one muscle recover while working the other.
Also by keeping the blood circulating in the upper body not only you need less warming-up sets and total time but also you may be able to boost your strength output temporarily.
2) change the order of the exercises
*You could choose the body parts on which you want to put an emphasis.

I recommend any rows and shoulder press before squats or deadlift when your traps are fresh if you really want to improve chin(pull)up poundadges.

Good luck!

Thanks Q

I do intend to adjust the number of reps, do supersets and drops where appropriate; and the order of exercises is certainly not set in stone.

Ill give the plan a shot, and find out the hard way if I have too much volume re chest.

I put together a full body routine based in part on the stickys. I'm a little worried that it may be too much volume in regards to chest, and that it may be lacking in other areas as well. I used to have SLDLs on Mondays and Fridays in the routine, but took them out.

My goal is hypertrophy, and to improve my strength/ability on chin-ups. Im 32 years old, and Ive been lifting for a couple of years now.

I plan on working 3 times a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, 3 sets of 8-12:

Workout A (Monday)
Flat DB Bench
Back Squats
Bent Rows
Chin Ups
Rotator Cuff work
Calves

Workout B (Wednesday)
Weighted Dips
Deadlifts
Yates Rows
Pull Ups
Shoulder Press
Core work (bird dogs, planks...)

Workout C (Friday)
Incline DB Bench
Front Squats
DB Rows
Chin Ups
Preacher Curl


Thanks!!!
