hey guys. i've been doing a fairly traditional 3 day split for a while now.

i have just started a 6days a week rowing program and i am struggling to fit the weights in.

i dont want to stop as i want to maintain my strength as much as i can. I accept i will lose some bulk and strength but i am happy with that.

is there a good 2 day routine out there?

thanks in advance

tim

just had a very quick look at the last 2 pages of your journal. do you only do DL, bench press and squats? ?

beefycol: I train for strength, I am not a bodybuilder, however I have gained about 2.5stone over the last 4yrs.

omgimcrap: no I only usually list the main PL lifts in my journal, here is a typical week's training.

Monday
- Flat Bench (25reps over 3-5 sets, aim for 5 - 7 reps per set)
- sometimes Close grip bench 3 sets of 6 reps
- sometimes Wide grip bench 3 sets of 6reps
- Pull ups, 4 sets, each set to failure
- preacher curls
- tricep pushdowns
- sometimes rotar cuff work

Thursday
- Squats, 3 sets of 5reps
- Deadlifts 3 sets of 5 reps
- sometimes heavy bench, ie sets of 3 reps

but as you i'm not interested necessarily in body building.....i wanna be strong, and look good............diets there somewhere,.......honest!

I've spent long periods only training twice per week.

Workouts are usually built around.

Session 1
Squat
Bench
Row

Session 2
Deadlift
overhead press
chins

Solid training basis imo.

Indoor or OTW? Which rowing programme are you doing. I do a lot of rowing as well. I normally do weights on an early morning session and then do steady state rowing at around 18:30. I don't do a double session if I am doing a hard intervals rowing session.

I am always too knackered (and sweaty) after a row to be bothered with weights and I have never tried them before rowing but I don't think it would work out.

i would go with something like this if your only doing twicw a wk,it hits all bodyparts,and you could always add in another exercise if you wanted.

Yes this is a solid foundation. I wouldn't do it ALL the time but this and variation so of the movements would definitely form a good core to your training.

If you play sport around it as well this will help the conditioning.
