Never tried snatch grip deadlifts.

I'd assume they would increase the ROM, and turn the exercise muscular recruitment into something closer to a squat (i.e., a bit more quads).

What was your reason for asking?

I squat a lot more often than conventional dead lift, but do RDL's fairly often now.

Maybe if you start working with snatch grip and gradually over weeks decrease the width of the grip you might get the glute activation and hip drive you are looking for, just a thought.

Tricep with back? Bicep with Chest? Seems to make sense that on chest day you indirectly hit triceps so why not work them with chest? Same with Biceps for back since biceps are used to pull weight for back movement?

triceps with back

biceps with chest

same rational....the triceps is already being stressed and overworked when you hit your chest hard, by the time you're done with the chest, you cant even flex your tri....same concept with the back, after a hardcore back workout, my bis and forearms are already fully pumped and i cant even flex them...that why i DONT do chest and tris or back and bis...

I make sure the bi is on a separate day from the back and the tri is on a separate day from the chest

I boldly decided to post up my routine. Im pretty sure its not that great, but I want to see some input on what you guys think...

Day 1 :

Bench- 4x8 with a superset of 135 till failure
Tricep pushdowns - 4x8
Dips- 4x8 very slowly
Incline DB flys- 4x12
BB reverse curls - 4x8
DB curls - 4x8

Day 2:

BB rows- 4x8 with superset of 100 till failure very s
lowly
Deadlift - 5x6
Lat pulldowns - 4x8
1 arm DB rows - 4x8
BB Military- 4x8
BB hang cleans - 5x5
Then usually leave the gym after a few sets of pull ups

Day 3:

Front squat- 3x3 ( Basically my warm up )
Squat- 5x5
Leg press- 4x10
Calf raisers - 5x12
BB lunges - 5x5

I think thats it. Usually doing abs everyday. Let me know what you guys think!

I would add on day 3 a hip extension hamstring exercise. I prefer RDL over SLDL. Alternativly, GHR may be an option if you have the apparatus (both knee flexion - you don't include such an exercise - and hip extension)

I'd also consider on day 1 doing the tricep push downs after all the chest exercises, and query (only you really know) whether there are too many demanding back exercises on day 2 for you really to put 100% in all of them.

I need to start doing more cardio, especially since I'm about to start a cycle next week.
My question is I can't do cardio in the morning and I lift in the afternoon for about an hour.
Do I do cardio right after lifting? If so should I drink my protein shake and waxy maize right after weights at the gym or just wait until I get home??
Thanks

Re: Bodybuilding Routines: Post Your Bodybuilding Training For Help With A New Routin

I always tend to focus A LOT more on my upper body when training because I hate blowing my legs up!

I am genetically inclined to gaining muscle in my legs very fast and thus making my jeans or slacks look wierd and shopping for new pairs impossible to find (that actually fit right).

I spend 5-6 days a week on my upper body. One day I'll do back and bi's, the next chest and tri's, and so on. I do abs EVERYDAY.

Obviously I try to mix up as many new exercises and routines as possible, but I still feel like I'm hiting a plateau... Even when I'm on a cycle

Any suggestions?

Define mixing up?

What does your routine look like, is there any progressive overload at all?
