What is your favorite workout program and why?

[Ironguruera]

I made all my own routines. I've combined all the stuff I like and that works well for my body type.

I like giant sets, drop sets, rest pause. I have my favorite exercises and simply rotate them when they get stale or someone is using what i wanted that day equipment wise.

I use some of girondas stuff, Larry Scott's, positions of flexion.

I usually try to keep it around 8-12 reps. 2-4 sets per exercise. Depends on my energy level for the day.

I go by bio-feedback.

Hey SisterSteele loving that avi!

Lad like I said my fall back is the SL 5x5. After running thru that 2x this is what I do. This workout gives me an extra Back/Traps session cuz I happen to like that blown up traps look and this really does it for me.

Mon Back/Traps
Bent over BBL Row@45° 4x12
Bent over single arm DBL Row@90° 3x10
Hang Cleans if your shoulders are good, if not then do Upright BBL Rows narrow grip, med grip, wide grip. 4x10
Seated Dbl Shrugs 4x10

Tue Chest/Tries
Inc Flys cuz I cant bench any more (shoulder) 6x10
Dbl Chicken Press see on Scoobys site. 5x10
Dbl Kick Backs, Alt each week with French Press 5x12

Wed OFF

Thur Back/Traps
Pull Ups 5x10 or 50 any way I can get em.LOL...
BBL (EZ bar) Pull over 5x10

Fri Quads/Hams
Fr Squats alt each week with Back (Power) Squat 4x15-20
Leg Curl alt each week with SLDL 4x15-20

Sat Shoulders/Biceps
Super Set Dbl Side Lat Raise//Wide Grip BBL Upright Row 3x12 ea
Dbl Curls alt each week with EZ bar Bbl drag curls 5x10 ea.

Do all of that on a 2 second count both up and down.
That works very well for me
Let us know how it works for you if you decide to go with it.

Hey SisterSteele loving that avi!

Thanks Zed. I think I have a new pic I'll post up soon of me.

5x5 is a tried and true program.

I'll be posting my program in the training journal section soon. Mine is a combination many different programs as well as my own ideas. In nutshell it's:

MONDAY: Pull Day~ Snatch, Pull, etc

WEDNESDAY: Push Day~ Clean, Push Press, etc

FRIDAY: Leg Day~ Back Squat, Front Squat, etc

My assisting lifts are rotated every 8 weeks and of course for now my program is designed to help my BJJ.

BBB is a great beginning strength training program.

Re: What is your favorite workout program and why?

I've been doing 5x5 for awhile. Starting tomorrow I'm going to do some 5/3/1 with BBB assistance work, 4 days a week. I'm looking forward to it. little switch up now and then doesn't hurt. I'm already doing the same lifts anyway, but just 3 days a week. So i'll add a day and concentrate basically on a single lift with a single assistance lift. Simple but effective. I like Boring.

Re: What is your favorite workout program and why?

Holy Smokes. The assistance work will kick your ass for sure even though it's only 50%. damn this is awesome and brutal all at the same time.

Re: What is your favorite workout program and why?

I may go back to 5x5 for a while or try bbb. One of my biggest problems is I can lift way more than my joints and broken parts can handle. So I don't know where to stop.

I've been doing Dorian Yeates Blood and Guts workouts and I really like it. I have grown allot since doing his workouts but to do it right it does require you to workout with a good motivating partner. I've been working out with a kid 20 years younger than I am for the past few months and it's pushed me way past where I ever thought I'd get. Weighed in last night @ 241lbs @ 8% and i'm 5' 10 and 42 years old!

[Fuelfan]

Ok....almost 5'10"!
