do you not mean eg. Face pulls 3x12-10 - 3 x 10-12??? what's 12-10?

like the routine btw. Think i'm gonna re-write mine for a 2 day split after reading beyond brawn, i've been WAY overtraining!!

sorry mate, there has been some confusion....

By 3x12-10 I simply mean that you should try to stick in this reprange. Weight for all sets is the same so if you could do more reps than indicated in your first set, increase the weight. However, if you e.g. fail @8 reps weight has been to high. Just pick a weight that lets you remain in the indicated reprange. If you manage to stay at the top end of the reprange in your last set, increase the weight next time. Missing the reprange by 1 or max.2 reps in your last set is ok. Just stick to the same weight next time and try to finish in the desired rep range. Getting stronger is the key to growing IMO.

BTW face pulls are Not to failure. 1 or 2 reps short. If is is too much for you you can also leave out the military press as your front delts and tris already get hammerd with bench/dips/db presses. Upright rows, hang cleans or side laterals are a must though.

Depending on your other sports activities and cross training you could also split it up that way:

Day 1

Flat wide grip bench /Chest Dips
MP/Hang clean&press
Yates row/T-bar row
Tri dips/CGBP
Front squats/Leg press

Day 2

Incline DB/BB Press
Pull up/hammer grip pull up
DL/SLDL
BB Curls
Hammer curls
(Face pulls optional)

Reprange as stated in the other split.

Greetz

How's this...

Day 1.

Bench press 3 x 6
Deadlift 3 x 6
Seated dumbell MP 3 x 6
Dips 3 x 6
Ab & Calf work

Day 2.

Squat 3 x 6
Shrugs 3 x 6
Prone row 3 x 6
Ham curls 2 x 8
Chins 3 x 6
Back xtensions 2 x 8
Barbell curl 3 x 6

not too bad but I think you are overdoing it on day 2. Besides that if I would only aim for 2 all out sets per exercise. If you could do more reps than the reprange suggests, up the weight and regard the set a s a warm up. No leg curls on day 2 after deads on day 1. Too much IMO. Same applies to back extensions.

I would structure the WO like this if you want to stick to your split:

Bench
MP
Dips
DL
Abs & Calves

Pull ups
Pron Row
Curls
Shrugs
Squats

Greetz

nice one weasel! seen and noted so you reckon 3 x 6 is too much, i would like to do 3 sets on certain exercises, how's this...

Bench 3 x 6
MP 2 x 6
Dips 2 x 6
DL 3 x 6
ABS & Calves


Pull ups 2 x 6
Prone row 3 x 6
Curls 3 x 6
Shrugs 2 x 6
Squats 3 x 6

The reason i structured it like it was before was to give certain muscles more rest so not to hinder performance as much. e.g Bench press (chest,tri,delts) then DL (back,traps, legs) then onto MP (delts, tri). This is the way the book beyond brawn recommended. I would have usually split it up like you did ie hitting chest tri and shoulders one exercise after the other.


Cheers bro...

Looks really nice. 3 sets on certain exercises are ok. I'd even go a little lower on deads like 3x3-5. Switch shrugs with curls as your biceps get some time to rest after heavy back work before being hit again. Maybe take off one set of bb curls and throw in hammer curls for 1 all out set for forearms. I personally prefer to have squats and deads last as they drain so much energy out of me. But that's my personal preference.

Other than that, solid routine. I like it a lot.

Cheers mate. My training partner who is also reading beyond brawn came up with the following which is based on mine and also includes your 1 set of hammer curls. I like the look of it, what you reckon..

Saturday (Day 1):

Bench press 3 x 6 (compound)
Dips 2 x 6 (compound)
Deadlift 3 x 6 (compound)
Seated dumbell MP 2 x 6 (compound)
Calf raises 2 x 20
Cable crunch 2 x 15, Side bend 2 x 10 & 4 sets of standard crunches

Sunday:

Cardio 30 min (low intensity)

Monday:

Rest

Tuesday (Day 2):

Squat 3 x 6 (compound)
Prone row 3 x 6 (compound)
Shrugs 2 x 6 (compound)
Chins 2 x 6 (compound)
Hams curls 2 x 8
Back extensions 2 x 8
Barbell curl 2 x 6 + (Hammer curl 1 x 6)
L-fly 2 x 10 (use 2.5 kg/5 pounds)

Wednesday:

Rest

Thursday:

Cardio 30 mins (low intensity)

Friday:

Rest

apparently back extensions work the lower back differently to deads and is why they have been included, the same applies to the hamstring curls. The l-fly has also been included to target the rotator cuff strength.

day 2 looks too crowded. I still would take out leg curls and hypers. If you are really concerned about your posterior chain strength add in some pull throughs. Great compound posterior movement. Also alternate regaular deads with sldl every workout. Full pulls @max intensitity would wear me out too quickly. ALso leave out the side bends etc. just stick to cable crunches. YOur obliques will get worked enough with deads and squats. Don't want em to get too big anyhow as large obliques will take away some of your v-taper.

Squats last. Couldn't do them first as I'm worn out after two or three all out sets of squats (however I prefer front squats to back squats anyway).
Chins always first. Then rows. Than the rest.

Try it out and post results.

Greetz

Doing a 2-day split using Frankie NY Routine (the second one)... lately seems to have a hard time going to the gym, so I'm trying this instead...

i do a 4 day split over a 5 day week, training tues, wed, fri, sat and sun. This means that each body part gets trained every 5 or 6 days (i.e if i trained chest last weds, it would get trained next 6 days later next tues, then 5 days later the following sunday)

At the moment my split is chest, shoulders/bis, back/tris , legs.

i dont really stick to the same exercises or exercise order although i usually train pyramid style

surely if you are going all out heavy as you can on that routine you wont be recovered in two days? at least 3 or even better 4 days may yield better results?

Hi m8. Yeah youve got a valid point and last time I did this every three days was fine. Might just give two a go and see how I get on but reallt listen to my body with regards to if im overtraining.

3 days was good but my lifestyle was more hectic and my diet was poo so expecting better things this time round.

yeah, made me laugh when i first read it. Beyond Brawn and the insiders guide to weight training technique are my bibles. Been following mcroberts advice for 7 weeks now and already seeing great results

I'm just back from a 5 month shoulder injury, and this is the routine I am using just now till I can see hoe I cope. I will probably do this routine for about 3 months, then step it back up to training 4 days a week rather than 3.

A Good Beginner's Routine

Schedule
SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY
Workout #1 Workout #1 Workout #1
Schedule Explanation: This workout program is done on the same days of each week on the schedule shown above. The blank days are OFF days.

Workout #1
EXERCISE Set #1 Set #2 Set #3
Crunches – 10-15 Reps 0
Squats - 12-15 Reps
Straight Leg Deadlifts - 12-15 Reps
Flat-Bench Presses - 10-12 Reps
Bent Over Barbell Rows - 10-12 Reps
Presses Behind The Neck - 12-15 Reps
Triceps Extension - 10-12 Reps
EZ Barbell Curls - 10-12 Reps
Standing Calf Raises - 15-20 Reps

So are you on the dogcrapp routine mate? Or have you devised something from the reccomendations in the bible?

Are you also following the doggcrap diet, like ap??

I am not able to train at the moment, due to torn ligaments and cracked rib, but when I come back I plan to do this;

http://www.hypertrophy-specific.com/hst_index.html

Take a look at it, it's a different approach to conventional training, let me know what you think. THe principles seem similar to doggcrap. I was training on the franky ny routine for well over 6 months until I was injured, I hadn't plateud, or reached my max weights... but when I return, I want a change.....
