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.

Big-AL's Mass Routine

HIT Routine

Basic Westside Info (Powerlifting)

frankies mass building routine

Another Mass Building Program from Frankie NY

Getting Ripped Revised

TonyStarks' Long Term Training Cycle

TonyStarks' Generic 4 Day Split Routine (2002)

Enjoy. [^]

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.

A question for the authors of all the above routines:
Is it ok if I occasionally post some of your routines on another forum? I will, of course, cite you as the author of the routine. I'm a member of several other forums, and there are always people asking for routines.

Fine with me, i would prefer if you post any of mine that you mention (along with my name) that you also got it from MT, might get some more traffic comming this way!

I have no problem whatsoever so long as your post includes a plug for MuscleTalk.

I was reading the HIT routine, and am intrigued

<<A basic HIT workout in its modern guise would look something like this,

Day 1
Bench press or weighted dips 2x8
Squats 1x20
Bent over rows 2x8

Day 2
Overhead press 2x8
Deadlifts or straight leg deadlifts 1x15
Chins 2x8

Abs done on both days for 1 or 2 sets, and all sets taken to failure.

This workout runs on the same principles that Bob Whelan (trainer, powerlifter, and respected iron writer) espouses in his programs (see www.naturalstrength.com) - you're doing squats, some form of deadlift, a vertical pull/push, and a horizontal pull/push, in so doing, working all the available musculature of the body.

Here's a split of how it works:

Legs and lower back (the most important muscle groups for any accomplished bodybuilder or weightlifter) - deadlifts, squats
Back and biceps - rows, chins
Chest, shoulders and triceps - Bench press or dips, overhead press
Abs - sit-ups or crunches done on both sessions.
Forearms - deadlifts, rows, chins

>>

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but what you're saying is that I only need to do two sets of bench a week to faliure as hard as I can and my chest will grow? What about if I'm taking gear? Is more sets better? Can I throw some curls in there somewhere? And what about warmup sets? Shouldn't I do a couple of them before going heavy?
