I've always did what I call a mixed workout. 4-6 reps heavy on the main movements(squat, bench,deads) and then 6-8 on the supplemental movements(dumbell press, shoulder presses, lat raises, etc.)
Some of my workouts worked better at different times. A workout I did 2 years ago worked great 2 years ago but now it does nothing. I think I'm extremely influenced by all the bodybuilding mags and stuff (If the cover has something interesting written on it I feel compeled to buy it.) Now I read Powermag, but I can't really find a documented workout in it.
I used to be able to make good workouts for myself, but years of all this nonsense (BB workouts) has totaly messed me up.
MY goal has always been strength first and the size will come with that eventually. I somehow lost sight of that.
For the last 4 years I have been hitting the gym 4-5 days a week. The last year I have been going to the gym maybe once a month. Just lost all motivation. I get up in the moring saying to myself that today I'm going to the gym, but somehow never make it there. All stupid excuses.
Now titan training has caught my attention. What do you guys think about that workout?
Can someone please take a few minuets and help me create a four day a week workout to build strength.
Last year when I was at my peak (following a the MAX-OT workout) my puny lifts were bench 325, squat 405, deadlifts 405.
I know I have a problem doing deadlifts correctly. I will try to focus on my foem instead of heavy weight. My bench press form is good. I learned it from a few powerlifters. Strangely after all those years of doing squats I only hit 405 once or twice. But when I hit the gym now I squat better than ever. Weird.
I want to create a great workout for myself but I'm confused. Should I just split the workouts into 4 days and go heavy all the time. Monday-bench, Wed.-deads, Fri-squat, Sat-arms,abs,dumbell workout. Or should I just do Mon + Wed heavy bench,deads,squats (split somehow) and Fri+Sat light bench, deads, squat.
I know what exercised I should use on the three heavy lifts, but I don't really know what othe exercises to add to the mix nad for light days.
I can't hit the gym Tue or Thursday.
Am I way off here? Can someone give me some pointers? I want to be strong. Really strong. I know I can do it.
