New routine....hehehe

[GhostOfYourMind]

Yes, a new routine already. I'm getting bored of EDT. So I will finish it out in two more weeks (to make it a nice "round" 5 weeks...ha!). Sooooo, that means I need to create a new program! Lemme know what you think of something like this:

Monday:
A1 Bench 10x3
A2 Row 10x3

B1 Deadlift 3x10

Wednesday:
A1 Dip or some kind of overhead press (haven't decided) 4x6
A2 Pullup 4x6

B1 Bulgarian Split Squat or some kind of olympic variant like power clean (haven't decided) 4x6

Friday:
A1 Bench 3x10
A2 Row 3x10

B1 Deadlift 10x3

Note: It'll alternate, so outer days (monday and friday) become an inner day (wednesday) and vice versa.

I'm basically trying to get a push, a pull, and a leg movement, done in a full body thing 3 times a week. I figure full body IS the way to go. Splits are too time consuming and just boring. Comments are appreciated.

Release the hounds!

Alrighty then. Thanks to both of you. I gues I'll just dump dips and pullups, and add power cleans and dumbbell snatches in their places. 4x3 should be ok to start out with, right? :confused:

Thanks for the link too blessed. Cool beans.

[blessed_samurai]

4X3 is fine.

[TheMachine]

4x3 is fine. The one thing we want to do when crating a program is make sure there is balance.

Thanks guys. What kinda weight you think I should use with that set/rep scheme? Should I go for more of a power/speed work thing (like an 8 or 10RM roughly), or should I use a heavier load (like a 5RM comparably)? Thanks ya'll.

Machine- Yeah, I'm trying to keep as much balance as possible in both upper body and lower body.

[blessed_samurai]

I'd vary between 1-4 reps using 80-95% of 1RM or basically keeping 1-3 in the hole. An example might be
1X3@80%, 1X3@85%, 1X2@90%, 1X1@95%, 2X3@80%

good idea :) also consider unilatral training
