6 weeks ago I switched to this routine, but I dont progress. my idea is that there are too many straight sets and this holds me back. i progress slightly in DL, curls, skullcruchers - and these are those exercises, which I do only 2-3 sets. so could it be a correlation- less sets=better progress, or just coincidence? can I be right? rest between sets is normal, 1-3 minutes (2 min between bench, rows,pullups,press, 3 minutes only for Deadlifts, squats, 1 for iso,abs)
the original routine was:
Mon
deadlifts 3x5
bb row 5x5
pullups 5x5
curls 2x8
Wed
bench 5x5
military press 5x5
chest dips 5x5
skulls 2x8
Fri
front squat 5x5
romanian deadlifts 5x5
barbell calves 3x12
hanging leg raise 3x12
w. crunches 3x12
so i wonder if it would be better to bust plateu:
Mon
deadlifts 3x5
bb rows 3x6
pullups 3x6
bb curls 2x8
Wed
bench 3x6
military press 3x6
chest dips 3x6
skulls 2x8
Fri
back squat 3x6
romanian deadlifts 3x6
front squats 3x6
hanging leg raises 3x10
I cut off calve raises out off the equation. front squats works both quads and core/abs so i also cut crunches
what do you think about that routine?
