Pretty decent. I'd start day 1 with flat barbell benches and day 2 with barbell squats and stick with the first split though, the chest/back workout would be killer

I'm thinking of doing that. I just thought when i perform the first exercise i will have me pumped for when i do the really big compound movements. I find i can lift more when im pumped as a pose to when i just warm up then lift fresh.

If you can lift heavier then it's ok

Good stuff...... This with my diet should hopefully give me what i want.

Elson · 03-31-2008, 06:31 AM

1) You should switch some of the heavier exercises to be first (ie do flat bench before incline)
2) on legs your doing 3 leg pressing exercises, so try doing 2 really heavy ones
3) try switching up a curling exercise for a row particularly the seated row (after done in proper form see how much you can still curl after

)
just some things i thought would help with your bulking

Thanks for the advice. Will put this to use because it does sound a little bit better. The flat presses especially because in theory i should be able to lift more straight off rather than after my first exersise of incline presses.

Thanks for the advise!

by the way why are you doing this routine for only a month?

It will sound pretty weird to you guys. But i got a holiday coming up in ten weeks... I wanna do this routine and diet for 4 weeks then cut for the next 6 weeks...... And hopefully have gained around 5lbs in muscle.
If i can accomplish that short term goal, It will just in my head help me along with my training because i am trying something new. And my understanding of my body.

Not quite sure if this makes sense lol

Thats cool. Just wondering

I would cut those 3 bicep exercises into 2 or even 1. Your biceps are going to be so taxed after doing those Bent over rows that you don't need to do that many exercises for bi's.
