Newbie needs help!

Hi All!


I'm 28 years old, started to lift since 2 months with an all around routine (full body).


Now I need to change my workout schedule, a friend suggested me these workout routines 3 times per week switching the order each next week (for ex. A-B-A, B-A-B):

What do you think?


I'm 5'8? and my weight is 155lbs, lean body mass maybe around 15%.


Thanks!

If you eat right and stick to a routine you will see results.

I fucking hate it. There is just so much I hate it's hard to even know where to start.

You have been training 2 months

I guess i'll start with that ridiculous starting intensity. Assuming you 1rm is approximately accurate I'd give you 1% chance of successfully using a 90% 1rm intensity.

The tempo(2-0-2-0) combined with intensity is hilarious. This means that you should be slow and controlled in lifting (90% 1rm) I'd give you 0% chance of success on that.

Rest interval is also shit. 2 minutes between sets of 5 at 90% 1rm and a 2-0-2-0 tempo is a joke. Online you see a lot of 2 minutes for lifting heavy, but in real life it's more like 5 minutes.

The routine has no built in progression which is consistent with this abomination of a program. How are suppose to know when your 1rm is no loger your 1rm? I get it, you just guesstimate. Great plan. Somebody just starting off should start with something like 70% 1rm, 2-0-1-0 tempo, and 5 min rest periods. This way when your introduced to lifting heavy you're insured a greater chance of success and safety. From that point you begin adding 5% to your intensity untill you reach your targeted intensity of say 85-90%. At that point your 1rm will no longer be your 1rm and you will need to find out what your new one is. This shitty routine has you starting at the finish line.

I see no upper body pulling movements so I assume that workout C is missing.

I hope you did all these exercises in your full body routine. You should never start a new exercise with heavy weight.

I could probably go on, but what's the point. This routine is horrible, get a new one.

depends on what you want , if you want to hurt yourself then yes it is a good routine,,,, if you want to build muscles then no it is not a good routine....
