Reply With QuoteIf you really want to stick to a two day only program how about something more like this:
Day1:
Deadlift - 3 sets
Barbell/Dumbell Row - 2 sets
Military Press - 3 sets
Barbell Curl - 2 sets
Weighted Crunches - 3 sets
Day 2 & 3 - rest
Day 4:
Squat - 3 sets
Stiff-Leg Deadlift - 3sets
Bench Press - 3 sets
Skull Crushers - 3 sets
Day 5 & 6 - rest
Repeat
If you go heavy and to absolute failure on every set you should put on some meat with this routine and make good strength gains. Make sure your getting enough protien in your diet too.

Everything will be done to failure to make sure i get the most weight i can, with still doin good form of course.

This page lists different excersizes for each bodypart, and shows how to do alot of them.
If you want to get serious, your going to have to do legs. Legs affect the rest of the body, besides helping you to not look like a light-bulb goof.

I don't see any side or rear delts, or any ab work. Fill in the blanks as you feel appropriate.

quakin added some serious full body workouts to your routine that will be very beneficial... you wont get far at all without the squat and the deadlift ... also yes i agree with mudge i didnt see any rear delts in your routine but thats just simple stuff like pullups... yes rest is one of the essential keys to gaining mass!

Skull crusher should be listed on the site I linked to.
You lay down on a bench (this is also called the french press/nosebuster/lying triceps extention), and with a bar going behind your head (or on your nose if you feel lucky, or forehead), extend your arms so that you are working your triceps. This is not a traps/chest excersize so keep your elbows immobile.
I really like this for triceps, its my primary movement.Last edited by Mudge; 06-17-2002 at 12:30 PM.
