First of all here is my routine:
Squats 2x12
Deadlifts 2x12
Bench Press (1x10, 1x8, 1x6 adding weight each set)
Military Press 2x12
Bent Over Rows 2x12
Lat Pulldowns 2x12
Crunches 4x20
Here are my questions:
1. Does my bench press routine look okay? I usually do 95, 105, 115 (I know, I'm weak). I have heard that doing ladders is better and easier to excel. Should I be lowering the reps though? By the time I get to 115, 6 reps is usually all I can do, so I kind of just designed this rep scheme, but I have no idea if it is recommended or not.
2. Where do calves come in? Am I supposed to add them as a seperate exercise like I've done with abs? Or are they covered in my routine, maybe deadlifts or squats?
3. How does my ab routine look? I always do it last because it's so nice to just lay down and workout after everything else. I do 4 sets of 20 reps, I haven't read anything about it.. again I just made up that rep scheme, so I'm not sure what's recommended there.
Thanks a lot!
