Whats your routine look like!
I hit up a 4 day split.
Legs
Chest/Bi
off
Back
Shoulders/Tri
off
off
I hit up a compound movement hard for 5x5 or for heavy singles or higher rep work, always mixing it up, mostly power movements. Then for the rest of the workout I hit it 3-4 sets of 12-15 reps to get that killer pump.
Lets hear what your doing!
Re: Whats your routine look like!
4 day split for me. Before I got sick and was training for pure strength I was doing Westside. Now I'm trying to put my size back on that i lost and also training for arm wrestling. I figure with the size gains I'm making doing this bodybuilding style routine (and the cycle I'm running) the strength will come back on it's own.
Mon - Chest, triceps, abs
Tue - Legs, biceps, grip, arm wrestling
Wed - off
Thu - Delts, abs, triceps
Fri - Back, biceps, grip, arm wrestling
It's been a lot of fun since I started doing this split. As a powerlifter I haven't trained biceps in over 6 months! So hitting them twice a week is different, and my arms are blowing the fuck up (I should thank the Anadrol too. Lol). Which I need for arm wrestling since there is so much bicep, grip and forearm strength needed.

Nice! You can't beat a simple split like that.

I like giant sets, super sets, drop sets, high volume.
This is a pretty odd routine, but if you like it and it works stick to it. Not downing it at all. Just have not seen anything like it. Doing tris with legs, and back and shoulder is a fuck ton of work. Plus having a upper with a lower on leg day has to have your blood confused as to where to go. But like I said, if its working, more power man!
Thanks for all the reply's, really wanting to get this section moving with some new posts!

Bruiser, dont forget your rotator cuff and shoulder work for your arm w. There was a kid in HS who was a puss, but had crazy shoulder strangth, he would kill everyone. He was the only guy I could never beat when I arm wrestled. Got to have that strong shoulder lock/rotation power!

Of course. Right now that's my strength. It's from all the chest and shoulder work while running Westside. I still do all my rotator cuff warm ups even when it's 100+ degrees out! I've got real strong front delts which helps when I get a good angle on the table and can get my shoulder into it.
Re: Whats your routine look like!
Did you build a nice little cable stack inside your trucker rig so you can get your rotations in, lol!
