[mrpower]

yeah but what about this workout?

 

[The13ig13adWolf]

i'm not a big fan of your leg day. too many machines. are the hack squats freeweight? what about full squats?

do you ever do Bent BB Rows for back?

what are your set/rep parameters?

 

[CowPimp]

yeah but what about this workout?

Give us more information. What are your goals? What about number of sets per exercise? Repetitions in each set?

Abbs, need more abbs!

No, Abs isn't a word therefore can be spelled however a person wants too. Abdominal is a word.

some calf crap if you like

less can be more if you use more intensity.

 

[The13ig13adWolf]

i'd drop the T-Bar for a BB.

 

[CowPimp]

TheCurse's deal looks good. Only thing I would do is throw in some type of overhead pressing and possibly swap out one of the rowing movements for another pullup variation or some pulldowns.

 

[mrpower]

damn so my workout was sucky afterall? r u sure i'm gonna get better results if i do less with more intensity, i was planning on putting the same effort on my workout.

 

[mrpower]

i wanna do more....i feel like its not enough, only 3 day a week???? can't u throw somethig else inthere?

 

[TheCurse]

I don't even no where to start with this....................really shitty workout
Just throw it away and start over........no more than 5 days a week.......volume must be lower on the second day.....way too many exercises also....

I thought training the same muscles more than once a week was a bad idea.

Here's my routine I've compiled from some info on these boards

Monday: Chest/tris
Tuesday: Back/Bis
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Shoulders
Friday: Legs
Sat/Sun: Off

Sometimes I feel like its just not enough. Like by the time friday rolls around my chest starts to feel soft, so I usually just do a few sets of push ups and that lasts me until my next chest day.

Also, rest is important. It doesn't sound like you're giving your muscles enough time to rest. I had the same problem, and trust me. They won't grow without rest.

 

[mrpower]

can you give me some good shoulder and back exercices?

 

[The13ig13adWolf]

can you give me some good shoulder and back exercices?

DB Press
Push Press
Military Press
Lat Raises
Face Pulls
Bent BB Row
Lat Pulldown
Straight Arm Lat Pulldown
Pull-Ups
Cable Rows
Hyperextensions
DLs (all variations)

 

[CowPimp]

The workout TheCurse wrote up has a lot of good back exercises. Just do some overhead pressing and possibly some face pulls for your anterior/lateral and posterior delts, respectively.

 

[mrpower]

i also had in mind keeping reps to a max of 5 , add weight 'till i cannot pass rep #5. How's that, I read it's the best way of gaining mass and strenght

I think working exclusively in one repetition range is silly. Work your way from lower weights to higher weights over the course of a mesocycle (Linear periodization), alternate between repetition ranges each week (Alternating periodization), alternate within the same week (Undulating periodization), or alternate within the same workout (Conjugate periodization).

 

[mrpower]

wow..............can u explain the whole alternation processss???????

Check out the sticky on P-RR-S in the training section. That is a form of alternating periodization.

Actually it is a word.

Word: A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates a meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or of a combination of morphemes.

Just thought I'd point it out and be annoying.
