hey all. i had some questions about this kind of routine (push/pull/legs) and was hoping for some help as ill be doing it for the first time next month.
first off, is it possible to do this sort of routine with just a barbell and dumbbells?
cause thats all i have for now =/ working on getting a real nice bench in a month or two.
if so, could you name some of the most crucial exercises? the main ones i need to focus on you know, but also name some of the smaller more isolated ones too. just name as many as you can think of really
itd help me a lot.
also, my legs seem pretty weak..will push/pull/legs pull routine be a good way to get my legs stronger and..bigger?
i find with my work schedule its hard for me to eat at the perfect times, and some times i dont get home until like 5:30. will this hurt me at all? i take my N.O Xplode 30 mins before a work out so it wouldnt be until a little after 6 before i could start.
and does anyone have some good links i could read about to help me get a better idea of all this. im switching from my current routine because i feel like i have limited time to do my work outs after coming home from work, and lately i dont think its giving me the results im looking for. just wana try the push/pull/legs because it seems real popular, and also very beneficial.
im 20, around 130lbs, and have only been working out consistently since the start of august. i know that isnt much time, but ive been doing my current routine on and off and just think its time for a change.
current routine:
monday - chest/triceps
tuesday - back/biceps
wednesday - off
thursday - shoulders/traps/abs
friday - legs
saturday/sunday - off
i mean this was a decent routine to begin with, right? but i really wana work my legs, and maybe even my abs a bit more. so i wana fit those into my work out days more often. i feel i have enough reasons to consider this new push/pull/legs thing. so im hoping to learn a lot about it, stick with it for eh..4-5 months? and see some amazing results.
