whoa thanks a lot man
since I have weight training as a school course, I have it 5 times a week, but every day we focus on different things. I set my schedule like this:
Monday
Biceps/triceps/forearm
Tuesday:
Cardio
Wednesday:
Back
Thursday:
Chest
Friday:
Legs
I have a basic idea for basically everything except for back and legs. For my back, I only tend to work on the "fly" machine and t-bar row. For my legs..I just end up doing some squats, that's all. Any ideas for those? And if you think there's something not right with my schedule, please lemme know! I really want to see results
Train like a body builder will not make you look like a body builder. You do not need a whole day for legs and back. You completely missed shoulders. Take advantage of big lifts because they can work a huge portion of your body in one lift.
Do something like this:
2-3 low weight warm up sets. 3 minutes in between workout sets.
Workout A:
Row(which ever row you prefer) 3x5
Bench press 3x5
Deadlift 1x5 (Up this by 5 lbs in every work out until you can't)
Workout B:
Chin ups (Body builders say to do this to fail, but gymnasts say set a number amount) Either way you choose, do at least 8
Over head press 3x5
Squats 3x5 (Up this in ever work out by 5 lbs until you can't)
AxBx Repeat from A. X is rest days, or cardio if you want to.
If you do this with a 600 calorie surplus, I grantee you'll get stronger and put on mass. I got my brother to do something like this for a few months and he's 20lbs heavier and a lot bigger that he used to be. I didn't include any calves work because he was an x-tennis player with huge calves already + he didn't care for them. Feel free to add those at the end of the work outs. I'm pretty sure that this routine hits all muscles. You should be JUST able to get that 5th rep in, if it's too easy, it's time to up it.
Any questions?
Oh and yes, I include the bar...it is weight and you are moving it.
Today I'm going to go for the 100lbs mark for OHP! I've done it before but that was pre-injury.
EDIT: I completely forgot about dips! Add them to workout B.
