Alright guys, well I developed an 8 week program to get back into weight training, and hes what I came up with. Im 5'10 and 210, but muscular, and Im looking to lose BF and get leaner.
My rep and set range for all exercises is 3 sets of 15,13, and 10 reps. I rest 30 seconds to a minute. On the last sets and reps for each body part, I drop the weight and pump out till failure, or do decentric, negative lifts and squeeze as hard as I can.
K, heres what Ive been doing
Day1 Chest/Tri
DB Chest press
DB Incline Press
DB decline bench
Peck Deck
Dips
Tricep Push down
Skull Crusher
Weighted Crunch Machine
Oblique crunches
Leg Lifts
Planks (side, front, and other side)
Day 2 Back and Bi
Lat Pull down
bent over row
Seated Cable Row
Assisted pullups till failure
Back Extensions
Barbell Curl
Hammer Curl
Preacher Curl
Calf machine
Forarm rope pull up
Forearm barbell lifts
Day 3 Shoulder and Legs
DB Military Press/Arnold Press(alternating)
Shoulder Flys(think thats what theyre claled)
Front DB raises
Seated bent over Shoulder Flys
Squats
Leg Press
Lunges
Lying Leg curls
Repeat Ab exercises
*I do at least 30 minutes of cardio after each session (save for leg day..legs are like jelly). I often come in on 1-2 off days as well to just do HIIT or steady state cardio.*
What do you guys think? Am I missing anything? Should I be doing something different? Am I making any mistakes in the program? All input (good and bad) is greatly appreciated, thanks guys
Hey thanks for taking the time to reply... can you explain please why this would be better to do? should i change up my 3 sets of 15,13,10, do different exercises, etc... thanks again
It's a push/pull/legs routine, one of the more effective methods to gain mass and strength. You have to focus on basic compound exercises like barbell bench presses, deadlifts and squats, which should be done with low reps for the best gains.
Thanks for the info man.. appreciate it. I tried doing that Day one split of chest, shoulder and tris and by the time I finished, I coulnt do ANY weight for the last bodypart. What are the benefits of a push/pull workout system, and why that over say, chest/tris, back/bis and abs/legs/calves?
