New Routine (POSSIBLY)

[Legion Kreinak]

Well, I read that article the other day, posted by DJRAZR. The one that talks about havings an upper/lower body division, doing a maximal day, and an explosive day, as well as endurance training between to maximize recovery and endurance gains. It seems like a good program, as all three branches of strength are being exercised. Maybe I'm just falling into another hole of something that seems too good to be true. You guys tell me.

My only problem here is designing the actual exercises for the routine. The routine would look something like:

Sunday: Off
Monday: Maximal Torso (Chest/Back/Shoulders)
Tuesday: Explosive Legs & Arms (Bis, Tris, Quads, Hams, Calves)
Wednesday: Off (Endurance/AB training)
Thursday: Explosive Torso (Chest/Back/Shoulders)
Friday: Maximal Legs & Arms (Bis, Tris, Quads, Hams, Calves)
Saturday: Off (Endurance/AB training)

I thought that article was pretty cool too...
Heres the thing though man.... Pick something, and stick with it for at least 6-8 weeks. If you keep bouncing around like a 5 year old on a pogo stick, nothing is going to work for you.
I suggest finishing 6 weeks with the 5x5 program you've been working with... Analyze your results, how it makes you feel. If it feels like its either getting stale, or the results that you are looking for aren't even remotely being delivered.... switch over to this new program...
But its very unproductive switching your routine this extremely every 2-3 weeks...
Just trying to help.. don't take this negatively...

I will stick with it, but potentially if I was to do this routine, any idea of what it should look like in terms of the exercises used?

what do you mean by endurance, running? AR? sorry I'm just confused

 

[Legion Kreinak]

Doing 100-reps or alot of reps of workouts with very low weight.

So come on, someone tell me what they think of this.

So come on, someone tell me what they think of this.

i think that you don't even work out

First off, I asked what you thought of the fuckin' routine...

Second, I don't give a shit if you think whether or not I workout.

First, I think you have an attitude problem ( I think this has been discussed earlier).

Second, would you do yourself a favor and stay on one program a bit longer than 1 week? Changing routines all the time gets you nowhere.

Squat 2 to 3 times a week( high or low reps, whatever), do the basic stuff(OHP's, rows, chins, dips, bench, curls, deads yada yada yada) and drink lots of milk.

Old-fashioned? Maybe. But who cares, as long as it woks?

I know I have an attitude problem, and I'm glad. I like to piss people off, I really couldn't give a fuck less man.

But in terms of staying on a program, if you read upward a lil' I said I'm sticking with the 5x5, but am curious as to what this routine should/would look like, and whether or not it's worth my time AFTER I finish this routine.

Plus, you must excuse the previous post to some degree, as I was a lil' stoned/intoxicated last night.
