current stats. all 5 rep prs
bench 165
squat 250
dead 300
5'11, 190lbs
Im going to be cutting throughout the cycle with a deficit of 100-500 cals a day
my routine will be as follows:
squat
db bench (slight incline)
deadlift
lat pulldown (underhand)
arnold press
leg curl
shrugs
calve raises (on smith machine with plate on floor, my gym doesn't have a calve machine)
dips
kroc row
tricep rope pulldown
im going to test my maxes on theses lifts next week
what do you think of this? I am still not sure if thats the exact order I will be doing the lifts.
I also had a question about tut and rep schemes. I was thinking that since some movements like the squat have much larger rom and thus tut, it would be better to adjust the rep schemes so that they have slightly less reps. I could do the opposite with short rom movements like calve raises. Is this a good idea? I was thinking to doing something like 12/8/4 for squat and 16/12/8 for calve raises.
I also have a problem with hamstring flexibility. is it still a good idea to do leg curls or would this only hurt my flexibility?
Whats the typical % for increments?
and finally, I have a question about volume. since im going to be doing A LOT of exercises each day, I was thinking of only doing one set each workout but, if I feel like I have the energy, maybe do an extra set of the big three. is this a good or is it still too much volume?
