What do you think of my routine? 31 October 2009 21:56 (permalink)
Hi,
 
I want to build muscle and strength.   What do you think of the workout below?
 
3 x days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri).
Each exercise done between 6 - 10 reps to failure.
3 x sets for each exercise - 4 x sets now and then to mix it up a bit.
 
Monday
Squats
Deadlift
Bench Press
Dips
 
Wednesday
Stiff Legged Deadlift
Overhead Press / Mil Press
Rows
Chin Ups
 
Friday
Leg Press
Calf Raise
Incline Bench Press
Barbell Curl
 
I have tried to use compound exercises only and only enough exercises to ensure my workout doesn't last any longer than 45 mins.   I will continually add more reps/weight each workout.   I know how important diet is but only looking at workout in this post.
 
Any advice is much appreciated and weolcomed guys!

    Hi there - sorry no-one's replied!

    Your routine looks fine - I would stick to this for 8-10 weeks, then maybe change to a volume style routine

      Personally i'd change your friday routine
       
      squats
      pull ups
      calf raise
      barbell curl
       
      dont go to failure on every set as it will only lead to overtraining and also hinder your gains in the long term..
      just my 2p worth..have fun..
