Swanso, do you have a set/rep reccomendation for this routine?

Also, I've never heard of the "scarecrow" exercises. I found one variation, do you have a link that would show me the various ways of doing these shoulder exercises?

swanso5 wrote:it would be better with 5 compounds and no iso's in this eet up:

leg - deadlift or squat variation
back hor pull - row variation
chest - bench variation
back vert pull - chin variation
sedcondary upper/mid back pull - face pull/scarecrow variation

right there.

So you're saying M/W/F I should just do the 5 compounds and call it a day?

And what does "EET" stand for?

So here's what I came up with for a three day, MWF routine based on the TBT article by Chad Waterbury: Monday: Chest - flat bench (compound) Biceps - db hammer curls (iso) Back - pull ups (compound) Chest - dips (wide grip) (compound) Calves - calf raises (iso) Quads - squats (compound) Wednesday: L...

I was doing 215lb deadlifts today, and the manager came over and "spoke" to me about how I was making too much noise dropping weights. She suggested that I "do a different exercise." I said I needed to finish and that I'd try not to make as much noise. She said "that exercis...

I found it was best to use the max weight of weaker arm until it matched the weight lift ability of stronger arm. That way, any increase in weight would be the same for both arms at that point. You don't want to have one puny arm and one big arm. If your weak arm can only curl 30, do 30 w/ both unti...

Well, I haven't stood on a scale since about 2 weeks into the program... lol, but when I did, I weighed 152lbs. As far as sups go, I drink a protein shake after workout, that's it. I eat healthy, I try to get as much protein in system on work out days as I can. Peanutbutter, turkey, burgers, eggs, f...

So, after 4 weeks, I've completed the Waterbury Method program. I followed everything exactly, except for maybe a couple things where I felt I needed to challenge myself a little more by increasing the reps in sets for chinups/dips as each week progressed. Here's some results: Bench: (flat) first we...

http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=534922 There ya go. Scroll down and you'll find what to do on what days. I'm also on second week. Even though there aren't a lot of exercises on each day, the few that there are should kick your each day. I work up a huge sweat and body is dead by the time ...

Question: On Fridays, the first exercise is chin-ups, described as: Chin-ups Sets: 10 Reps: 3 Rest: 70 seconds (between sets) Note: Utilize a supinated (palms up), shoulder-width hand grip. Oddly enough, the gym I go to doesn't have a straight bar for doing chin ups. They have a set up for doing wid...

Don't bother. I just started the Waterbury method on Monday. Yesterday after cardio, I decided, "hey, I came all this way to the gym, mine as well spend a little extra time and do some ab stuff." Bad idea. As soon as I started doing some crunches I realized how much abs had already worked ...

Hey man, thanks for the reply. Starting Monday, I'll be doing the Waterbury Method program. As I said, I've been slowly modifying friend's workout plan to the point that I've made it own, making sure that I did at least one compound exercise a day. But, now I'll be switching to this other program wh...

Depends what I'm doing. If I'm lifting I'll go for rock, nothing too heavy or fast. Keeps body oving a decent tempo, while also giving me 'pump' energy to push out that last tough rep. If I'm running on a treadmill or something, I'll put on some up tempo trance music. Something with a faster beat th...

Hi all, I just joined the forums to post this, but I have been reading through them for a few weeks getting workout / nutritional advice from everyone. I've been working out 5 days a week, taking Sat/Sun off. friend is a professional body builder / trainer and he gave me a workout program, but, I mo...
