BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENTS High Quality Supplements For Bodybuilders and Athletes. www.ironmaglabs.com Time for me to design my next 8 week workout routine, should have done this last week on my off week but meh, I'm lazy. I'm going to be sticking with the Push/Pull 2 week full body split I did last time as I really liked it, but this time I'm going to try upping the intensity in a different way.
Each day will be split into two supersets - an upper and a lower movement. The rest between the sets will be me walking to do the next set of the other exercise, and there will be a 1-2 minute rest between supersets while I set up weights for the next exercises. I'm also going to try and include more single leg isolation on the lower body since I have a feeling my left and right leg aren't developing evenly due to my leg length difference problem. The weights I'm using will be increased slightly after every 2 week cycle to increase intensity throughout. Week 1 Monday (Push) Superset 1 Lower - Back Squats Upper Horizontal - Bench Press ------------------------------------------------ Superset 2 Lower - Single Leg - Leg Press Upper Vertical - Dips Core Work: Abs Frontal Focus Wednesday (Pull) Superset 1 Lower - Deadlift Upper Horizontal - Cable Rows ------------------------------------------------ Superset 2 Lower - Single Leg Dumbell Deadlifts Upper Vertical - Chinups Accessory: Farmer's Walk Friday (Push) Superset 1 Lower - Back Squat Upper Horizontal - Decline DB Press --------------------------------------------------- Superset 2 Lower - Single Leg BW Squats Upper Vertical - Standing DB Press Core Work: Abs Obliques Focus Week 2 Monday (Pull) Superset 1 Lower - Stiff Legged Deadlift Upper Horizontal - Bent Over DB Rows ---------------------------------------------------- Superset 2 Lower - Glute-Ham Raises Upper Vertical - Chinups Core Work: Abs Frontal Focus Wednesday (Push) Superset 1 Lower - Back Squats Upper Horizontal - DB Bench Press ---------------------------------------------------- Superset 2 Lower - Step Ups Upper Vertical - Arnold Presses Accessory: Grip Work (Farmer's Walk) Friday (Pull) Superset 1 Lower - Deadlift Upper Horizontal - Barbell Bent-Over Rows --------------------------------------------------- Superset 2 Lower - Single Leg Dumbell Deadlifts Upper Vertical - Pullups Core Work: Abs Obliques Focus Anyone got any comments or suggestions? |

The template looks good. I'd replace arnold presses by more standing dumbell presses. You could do them one arm at a time.

When I'm standing I always do them one arm at a time - I find it easier to concentrate on only moving the shoulders up and not cheating with the back at all. Any specific reason for dumping the arnolds though? Just curious as to why.
