This is my new program, based off articles I have read from Westbury, and advice/experience from Russ. I am pursuing this program with the goal of doing more work each session at weights 80%+ 1RM to illicit growth/strength.
4x/week split...every other day sessions.
Chest, Back, Calves, and Biceps - 2x/week
Quads, Hams, Shoulders, Traps - 2x/week
There will probably be some modifictaions, but this looks good for now.
Warmup with 5-10 minutes of cardio & External Rotations
Every workout will alternate between straight sets and supersets
No exercise will be performed more than 1x/week
On alternating sessions, movements that were geared toward power/hypertrophy will be switched to endurance/hypertrophy
ex. If on Monday I do 10x3 BB flat bench, on Thursday I could do DB incline bench 2x15 (or some other higher rep alternative)
Every week either weight, reps within sets, or sets will advance (not sure how this will break down yet)
Off days will consist of grip training and low/moderate intensity cardio (incline treadmil, stationary bike)
*The majority of this program should be composed of compound movements, there is no direct tricep work...but I couldn't help leaving in bicep iso's. I enjoy some direct trap and calf work as well since I am lagging in these departments so these were included as well*
Today's Routine - Tuesday 10/2/07
Superset Day - Max rest 90 seconds
CS Rows/BB Incline Bench 10x3
Dips 3x10/CG Chins 3x8
Calf Raise (Leg Press Machine)/BB curls 5x6
