I'm trying a variation on a few differnet routines at the mo.Working really well:
Monday:Chest/Back
A1:Bench 5 sets of 5
A2:Rows 5X5
(I'm using the Charles Poliquin method of supersetting these exercises but resting 90 secs in between each exercise and superset.)
B1:Dips 3x8
B2:T-bar row 3x8

Wednesday:Legs
A1:Squats 5x5
A2:Stiff leg deads 5x5
B1:Leg press
B2:Toe raise

Thursday:Arms/delts
A1:Bar curl 5x5
A2:CGBP 5x5
B1:Dumbell press 3x8
B2:Shrugs 3x8

Saturday repeat workout 1 but with increased weight and go for 5 sets of 4.The following time you do the same workout go for 5 sets of 3.Then the following time go for 5 sets of 5 with the weight you were doing for the second workout.For example:

Workout one:Bench press 100kgs 5x5
" two: " 105kgs 5x4
" three: " 110kgs 5x3
" four: " 105kgs 5x5
" five: " 110kgs 5x4
" six: " 115kgs 5x3
etc.

Looks like a strength routine but very good for size too.

@ Pipskate: Look at my biceps day and my shoudlers day, after that day you feel so dead its unbelievable, cause you are using your forearms throughout the whole workout and then you have wrist curls and drag curls at the end (thats the way I do it at least) and the variation with the close and wide grips and the EZ bar and straight bar also works quite well, I have been doing this sort of workout for a while now, started on 10 reps per set (more weight for building and less for toning etc etc) and when it gets easy you can just simply up the weight or up th reps so it still strains the muscles. Another good way is to do a bit of shock training, for example; instead of doing 15kg incline DB curls at 10 reps each for every set try doing 10 reps then 12 then 10 then 12 or keeping the reps the same and changing the weights (15 kg then 17 then 15 then 17/18),this really confuses the muscles and trains and stretches them well.

Short answer - yes.

Getting ready for competition then probably not, but that certainly would not mean that in my opinion that routine posted above is any better.

What are you competing in and when? Im no expert in female training but there are some very knowledgeable female trainers in the female training section so post it up in that forum along with your goals and see what they have to say.

You can cut a lot of those exercises out theres too much unnecessary isolation work although Im not saying you need to go as abbreviated as I like to go.

why not ?? the dude just said Reg showed him all his stuff and etc


this tells me you have no idea why you're doing half the movements you're doing, what they're for, why there is possibly too much, pointless movements etc, etc, etc.


but, if the past few years has tought me anything, it's that this hobby is a massive learning curve and you have to find out what works for you in terms of growth and enjoyment

@Neb: I dunno man lol I'm only 15 all I know is that Reg is a huge builder legend and that he was Mr. Universe a couple of times, been training for just over 2 years now, some new personal trainer/nutritionist dude in my old gym in South Africa said he just came from Johannesburg and had been taught by Reg and that he has seen that I'm dedicated, ask what my programme was, I told him I made it myself from knowledge, he said he'd do me a full nutrition plan and programme for free, its been working quite well for a while now but I've been tweaking it slightly.

I train cause I love it and its a passion of mine and I definately want to go into Physiotherapy, Personal Training or something to do with sports and fitness, im open to all advice lol :)

Sorry mate, a bit harsh

It is a big learning curve and you need to learn what works for you.

My advice is to pick a more basic routine with much less volume, make sure you have the main compounds....deads, squats, bench, rows.

Plenty on here to look at


It's finally arrived....PM Neb for swaps!
