Hi,

I have told Tony does has done a four day split for beginners routine, can anyone confirm this? If so where is it?

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone out there follow P/RR/S system (power-rep range-shock), works well IMO.

Never heard of it dan post something up lets have a look m8.

You basically change your routine around every week for 3 weeks and repeat, usually repeat cycle 3 times (9 weeks in total)

Basically it breaks down like this:

Week1 Power - all exercises done within 4-6 rep range with 2-3 mins rest between each set (Use mainly just compound movements)

Week2 Rep Range - vary the rep ranges of your exercises from 7-9, 10-12 and 13-15 with about 90 - 120 secs rest

Week3 Shock - Bit of a killer, all exercises should be done through drop sets, super-sets, rest-pause, etc. really max out your muscles, in this week feel free to use more machine weights as well

REPEAT

If you Google it u should find a lot of info on it that goes into a lot more detail explaining the benefits, there's one forum dedicated to it with $hit loads of people on it that swears by it.

Gotta say I really rate it as well.

It basically takes the plateau of your training.

very good idea to have one post summarizing the main routines. Can you plse add the HST ?
I think it's different enough from other routines to be added ?

Recently there have been several posts asking for routines. In light of this, and the fact that many people dont know how to use the search, I have decided to make this thread with links to routines that have been posted. I will keep it updated.

Please note that I can't post everyone's routine on this thread. These are just examples of several types of routines that have worked for many people.

These all seem cool but has anyone considered following an actual training, cardio and diet plan?
