Routines

[JRod]

Just trying to get an idea if everyone's workout routine. I want to switch it up a bit.
Here is what I do:
1. chest, tris
2. back, bis
3. shoulders, traps
4. legs
5. start over.
6. off
7. off
Basically hitting each muscle group 3 times every two weeks.
Any suggestions or ideas are welcomed. I only have about an hour every morning to work out.

Very similar routine to mine, except... I workout Legs beginning of the week so they can fully recover by the weekend, next is Back (Lats, Traps, Lower Back, Rear Delts), next is Chest & Tri's, and then rest two days, and then ending with Biceps & Shoulders (Front Delts, Medial Delts, Rear Delts again), then rest on 7th day.... hitting each muscle group just once per week; except for Abs, I do them everyday. I do Biceps and Shoulders together to prevent having to use my rotator cuffs more than I need to. (You'll learn quick to adjust your workout once you've had shoulder reconstruction surgery to prevent re-injury!) If you do the training right (High Intensity Training to muscle failure; putting in 100%, then hitting each muscle group once per week is all you need.) I view anything else as "over-training" I've developed my own techniques according to my body type, but my training is similar to HIT and I add in drop sets because of time restraints, which is something you might consider giving that you only have an hour each morning.
You're on the right path brother; good training and a good solid diet will help you dial it in and achieve your goals. Good luck and God Bless...

I'm doing a full body routine right now.

I do it 2-3 days a week.

U start of 8-12 reps x3 sets and keep adding sets and Lower reps to be at 6x6 in a few months.

Squats
Bench press
Standing press
Bent over row
Lat pull downs
Seated bicep DB curl

It's an ass kicker of a routine that's 70+ years old.

So you're only doing those six exercises every time you go to the gym?

I too would like more info. I'm about to start a part time job and it will knock my gym time down quite a bit. I'm looking for something that's tried and true and won't take an hour plus.

Yup. I know u guys are thinking same as me. "That looks too easy". It's not lol.

I do mix it up a little or add what I feel like doing for the day. For instance I'll substitute incline barbell or DB one day over flat bench. Or add a few more bicep moves another. Instead of barbell row I'll do T bar rows with a bar in the corner etc. I mostly stick to the simple format though.

If u look at it...it's a push/pull routine. The major key points are the day of rest in between for the CNS to rest. They power/mass moves have been making me strong fast.





Hopefully u can read those it was being a bitch to upload the pics

Awesome. I'll see about putting it into an Excel spreadsheet. No, I'm not any good at formula's, but I work better with it structured.

With the way I add things it's still very much BB if u ask me. I haven't loss any muscle if anything my chest and upper body is fuller since I started this. Plenty of caloric burn with this program. It really kicks my ass!

I've been looking around for similar programs and it's all about the same, minus the rep/set scheme.

I'll start it next week.
