Hav Done Research & Come Up With This Great Starting Workout

Post by Gunnersrus »

3 work outs per week on non consecutive days. The first work out is your heavy work out. The second work out is your medium work out, use 10% less weight for your work sets. The final work out for the week is your lite work out, use 20% less weight.

Do a lite warm up with 1/4 of your work sets weight. Do a medium warm up with 1/2 of your work sets weight. Do 2 work sets with the same weight. Choose a starting weight and start light.

These are the seven exercises you will be starting with.

Squats
Bench Presses
Bent-Over Rows
Overhead Barbell Presses
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts
Barbell Curls
Calf Raises

You will be running this program on a five week cycle as follows:
The first week do all 4 sets for 8 reps.
The second week do all 4 sets for 9 reps.
The third week do all 4 sets for 10 reps.
The fourth week do all 4 sets for 11 reps.
The fifth week do all 4 sets for 12 reps.
If you got all of the required reps on the fifth week then increase the weight by 10% and

repeat the cycle. If you didn't get all of the reps on the fifth week then repeat the cycle with the same weight. You shouldn't need more than one minute rest between the warm up sets and you shouldn't need more than one minute thirty seconds between the work sets.
Do some cardio and abs work on non weight training days.

What do you guys think im i finally on the right track

the same exercises each day? there's a better way

some exercises don't lend themselves to certain reps like you wouldn't do chin ups for sets of 20 cos you couldn't do 20, you could on the other hand do 6 maybe so they should be used then

see what i'm saying?

where did you get this from?

what if you have a fast twitch fibre dominant body which means you won't get all the reps with the specific wt drops?

i strongly recommend that you put (-extremely important.-for men-) calves. if you could do that 3 sets 2 exercise 3 times a week. calves is the hardest and the latest improving muscle group which makes me sick. since i didnt care too much now i put thAT FIRST GROUP even it is boring. 2 times in a week.
