New interesting routines needed for all my body parts

[British Bulldog]

I am board with my routine and it is time for a change but i am fresh out of inspiration. I could go out and but a olad of magazines or i cold save some cash and ask you lot. So i would be very gratfull if anyone could post thier routines or suggestions of routines for:

abs
Traps
Back
Chest
biceps
triceps
delts
calfs
quads
hamstrings

just post your routine (or your idea for a routine) for one particular body part if you cant be bothered to write the lot. I am looking for some heavy lifting in my new routines and high intensity. I look forward to hearing everyones suggestions. Thanks in advance to those who post.

My current routine:


Monday, Wednesday, Friday

Squats--3x6-8
Bench--3x6-8
deadlifts--3x6-8



Somewhere in there I'll throw in some calf work, and a row. That's it--basic stuff. The last rep of the last set of each exercise is really tough, and I feel thoroughly worked-out when I'm done. I've been doing this for about 4 weeks now, and will ride it out until I plateau, or get bored.

Ohhhhh, you are ripe for my patented 3 week cyclical blast pattern!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chest for example...

week 1 POWER:
-bench press...3-4 x 4-6
-incline press...3-4 x 4-6
-weighted dips...3-4 x 4-6

week 2 REP RANGE:
-incline dumbell press...3 x 8-10
-smith bench press to neck...3 x 10-12
-flyes...3 x 12-15
-pullovers...3 x 15-20

week 3 SHOCK:
-superset...flyes/bench press...2 x 8-10 each
-superset...peck deck/incline press...2 x 8-10 each
-dropset...machine bench press or crossover...2 x 8-10, drop, 6-8

Repeat Cycle as many times as you wish...progressing in each cycle!

Never failed to spur new and ongoing growth!

Dude, that follows the Weider naming principle. You should charge $50 for the title alone.

I use a two week cycle right now
1st week
monday - Back/Abs
Tuesday - Shoulders/Arms
Friday - Chest/traps
2nd Week
Monday - Legs/Abs
Tuesday - Shoulders/Arms
Friday - Chest/Traps

Losts of rest and lots of food.

 

[Robboe]

Question Mr Body, why do you switch back and legs and not chest and shoulders?

 

[Scotty the Body]

Cause chest and shoulders are my weak point, back and legs are strong and I think the extra recovery time for them is helping cause they feel alot stronger. i've tried doing chest every second week like that but it didn't help much.

 

[Robboe]

Ok.

Is your routine cycling working well so far?

 

[Scotty the Body]

Yes, but I've only been doing it for about a 5 weeks so far.
I've been busy and didn't seem to be getting enough recovery time (just getting worn out) but since I changed, I've been feeling alot better.
Hell maby its just the weather.

Well, when I write my book I need some catchy phrasing for my programs...and it will follow the "gopro naming principal." Much cooler than Weider!

Here is my shoulder workout once per week:

warm up thoroughly!

Front military presses 3 sets fail on the final rep:
x6
x8
x8 (so you are progressively getting lighter)

Rear military presses:
x8
x8

Side Lateral Raises -- 3 sets (last set is a triple drop)
x8
x10
x10 x6 x6

Bent over laterals -- -- 3 sets (last set is a triple drop)
x8
x10
x10 x6 x6

Then shrugs if you do them with shoulders.

Every fourth workout instead do 4 Giant Sets
Standing Barbell Presses Front
Upright Rows
Lateral Raises
Bent over laterals

move consecutively from one to then next, no rest, 8 reps each, rest 3 minutes b/t each giant set. Your shoulders will GROW like weeds!
