Thanks CK!!!!!!
Hey everyone, log update - Please read bottom, new routine, need it crituqued. Not the 5x5 yet, too soon to huge bulk, wich i feel the 5x5 works best with.
Well, yesterday, I had a good workout, wasn’t my routine, but followed a power lifter’s at the gym’s Tricep and shoulder day. I was looking into the 5x5, and I want to do that program, only except it would be more reasonable to bulk on that program. I have had the same routine for some time now and I think my body is adapting, so time to switch it on up.
The guy at the gym, his name is Ron, strong as hell, all natural.. Can Bench near 400. So hes my pal over at the gym, he tells me, hes going on a program, bands, chains, etc, he is trying to get me to train with him, my partner as well, because he says he can jump my bench atleast 50lbs. Then I would run the 5x5 after and hopefully gain even more, Since the 5x5 opportunity will always be there, but Ron’s help wont. Only thing is, its funny because since he has bad shoulders/etc, he doesn’t do, too many strenuous activites, such as incline barbell’s etc, but I refuse NOT to do them, and he loves it. Even tho, hes the “pro” im still going to incorporate my knowledge into his routine, and hes fine with that.
This is what we did yesterday, can some1 crituque on the day, he seems very very knowledgeable, juice free, so im trusting him alittle, plus my knowledge of diet/nutrition and workouts from EF I should gain a lot.
Benching
Bench presses from the pins(singles): Did about 7 sets, tweaked the weight until I got stuck at 249lbs. I nailed 243 from the pins. The pins were on the chest basically.
JM Presses: (185 x 5) x 4 (195x3) x 3
Decline dumbbells, with palms facing inward: 50x10 75x10 90x7
Shoulders
Half Lateral Raises(heavy weight, so I was basically going for a full ROM, but wasn’t able too with the weight), then right into Full lateral Raises on the lateral machine. 100lbs/50lbs x 10
Front Lateral Raises on machine: (50x10) x 4
My shoulders are weak, I mean not weak, I can just really feel it when I work them, so I tend to take it easy so I don’t risk an injurt.
My only concerns are, we did no actual pec work, such as incline dumbbells, incline fly’s etc. So Im not too sure I like his routine, that’s why I need someon1 to clear my head for me. So if anyone can shed some light on what they would do?
Im keeping my 5x5 for bulking, so im looking for a PL style routine, im not trying to look like the typical PL, im going for the athletic look. I want to get real strong, but still look very pleasing to the eye.
Im trying to work out a good 8 week program, I can use to get through the summer and start my bulker (5x5) when summer is over.
Im looking for a 5 day split. Cardio on the off days. Anyone wanna help =]
Ok, im going for a Dual Factor 2x week. One day Dynamic Effort Day, and the other day will be my Max Effort Day. Basically ME day, will consist of 5’s and 3’s. and the Dynamic Effort I will make it in the 10 rep range and use bands.
Monday
Heavy Chest + Light Shoulders
Tuesday
Heavy Legs + Light back.
Wednesday
Heavy Triceps + Light Chest
Thursday
OFF
Friday
Heavy Back + Biceps
Saturday
Light Tricep+Light Legs
Sunday
OFF
SO on, the checklist I got
Triceps 2x
Biceps 1x
Chest 2x
Shoulders 1x
Abs 3x ( will do Monday, Thursday, Sunday )
Back 2x
Legs 2x
I only hit Bicep 1x as well as shoulders because I feel the biceps get worked indirectly. And my shoulders are in pain as well, but pain from being weak, so I hope to catch them up, with some shoulder work.
On the dynamic Effort days, 30-45 second rest only. On Max effort Days, 3mins or more rest is ok.
Can anyone comment/change my routine to make it little better? Or does everyone think its preety solid, thanks everyone.

Interesting routine... working on figuring out a new one myself.mm107 said:
You say shoulders are in pain (from being weak)? You want to catch them up but you're not prioritizing them... and 1x per week is a light day?... just something to think about if you want to bring them up.
lol... you're so hard to comment on because I think you want to look like a BB but lift like a powerlifter... while cutting. Very differernt approaches and goals... i think i just confused myself
lol... good luck
you are so right sgt, i do want to look like a bodybuilder, but the strenght of a PL. im stuck in the middle. and i cant seem to find a program for those of us, stuck in the middle.
im actually going to run the 5x5. scrap the above planned routine, maybe go on it quick, when im done with the 5x5. i was told i would still be able to "cut" on the 5x5, and still gain strenght. Strenght is my main concern. But so is looking good for these couple months. So i guess im gonna have to tell msyself. This si cutting season just deal with it.
but the 5x5, im working on my specific weights, etc.
thanks sgt.

Ok, gotcha... start the 5x5 or you could... to REALLY shock yourself:
Run a HST style for the summer to switch things up big time... you'll probably put a little muscle on and really prioritize what you want to bring up... then come september start eating big again and go power?
... just another option.

Not sure if you can view it, cuz i have to use the expertpcsupport.com way to get into EF here..
Search HST... and check out the sticky "Training Information Vault" at the top of the forum.
You can modify it to make it a little more bearable... as I will be I think... 10 to 12 rep max.. and 1-2 bodyparts per day on a 4 day split 1 day off.
