| | | My Workout plan I wonder if any of you guys could comment on my workout plan I am going to start. Been lifting about 2 months already and want a solid plan to stick to. I do cardio about 3 times a week and i'm currently trying to stick to a low card diet with a caloric deficit.
So here it goes:
Monday:
Squats 3 x 10
Deadlifts 3 x 10
Calf raises 3 x 10
Hack Squats 3 x 10
Tuesday:
Barbell bicep curls 3 x 10
Bent over rows 3 x 10
Hammer curls 3 x 10
Push ups 5 x 15
Wednesday:
Crunches 4 x 20
Leg pull ins with weight 3 x 10
Cross body crunch 4 x 20
Oblique crunches 4 x 20
Stiff Leg Barbell Good Morning 3 x 10
Friday:
Bench press 3 x 10
Shoulder press 3 x 10
Seated military press 3 x 10
Push ups 5 x 15
Snatch hang high pull 3 x 10
Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are my rest days.
If you could comment, suggest some better exercises etc. it would be highly appreciated.
Thanks. |

| | | are you trying to do a full body? or an upper lower? i dont quite know what it looks like.. Since you have only been lifting for 2 months, id recommend a full body routine 3 times a week. Just search the forums for "full body workout" you will find all the advice you need. If you then got some questiones, ask away! |

| | | full body workouts are when you work your entire body each session. Do the search, it will tell you all about it. |

| | | A full body workout is all of your body. Generally, yes, they are done 3x a week with Monday, Wednesday, Friday, been a typical split. Don't try anything else until you have some experience with full body. |

| | | It seems to me that there is so much i want to work and a 1 hour session isnt enough to workout my entire body. |

Though i wouldnt think Stiff leg deads and Bent over rows need to done on the same day. Or atleast i think so. Any more thoughts (from the crew  ) on whether these two movements should be done in the same day? |

| | | hmm.. dont see why not. But it depends, if your lower back gets very fatigued form them, then it could affect your ability to do bendt over rows properly.
What i see with that routine is that you need to balance your movements, you got way more pushing than pulling.
Horizontal pull = horizontal push
Vertical pull = vertical push
thats how it should be, BASICLY.
Just read around the forums and you will find lots of templates on how to set up a routine, just follow them really, dont add any exercises since you will just screw with the balance of the workout. Back is more importaint than chest, there, i said it! |

| | | Meh, I wouldn't go so far as to say one is more important than the other, but your routine should definitely be balanced, as Karky has said. So for example, pull-ups could go side to side with your military press - plus, it should eliminate the need for that curls, it'll just replace it. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
