what are your opinions on this routine?

**antihero** · 04-03-2005, 02:12 PM

Mon - Legs
Full squats
Lying Leg Curls
Leg presses

Wed - Chest/shoulders/triceps
Flat bench
Incline bench
tricep pushdowns
Hammer Strength Shoulder Presses
shrugs

Fri - Back/Biceps
Deadlifts
Wide grip Pulldowns/Pullups
Tbar rows
Bent over Db rows
e-z bar curls

---All to be done with progressive warmups, not to failiure. When you get to the rep range of 2-5 reps, then the sets (note I am sticknig to the 3-5 rep range since I'm starting out)considered work sets. if you push yourself and get more than 5 reps, then it should be considered a warmup. Add a little
more weight and keep going till u get two sets under 5 reps.

*Where are the calves?
*Why do you want shrugs, when a couple days later you'll do deads?
*How many sets/reps of each are you doing (very important)?

Other than that, everything looks pretty good

Most kids your age would have created a mess of a routine....actually...most people would have...hahah.

I'm confused on your warmups. Remember this...don't expend any more energy than is necessary on warmups. Just do as many reps as it takes to acclimate to a weight.

I.E. If I'm going to put 405 on the hack squat for a set, I'll do a warmup as follows...

No weight x 10, 135 x 10, 225 x 3, 315 x 1, 365 x 1, 405 x workset

Sometimes I'll do even more warmups sets...do as many sets as is necessary to get warm and acclimate to the weight, but at the same time don't wast precious energy on a set that is not workset.

If I were to use it, I would first switch the Legs and Chest/shoulders day. That would allow maximal rest.

Chest/shoulders/triceps all on the same day? Do you really think your going to have enough energy to give each bodypart your all?

I'd drop flat bench and add decline. It will hit the chest a lot more than flat. Incline and decline are a good combo.

Incline is good, but decline? Cmon

Decline hits the lower chest more than regular or any other position for that matter.
