Please Critique my Routine...

[muscleman1234]

Hope you don't hate me for posting this here! I already posted in the Training forum with good feedback, but seeing as the Anabolics forum gets a bazillion more hits....

Anyways, here's the routine I came up with:

My Stats: 200lbs, 15%BF, 5'11",Training 7 Years
My Goals: Muscle Hypertrophy/FatLoss

The Routine:

- 3 Day split per week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday

- HST-Style Full Body Workout on each day consisting of:

Squats
Flat Bench
Straight Leg Deadlifts
Full Dips
Hamstring Curls
Underhand Close Grip Chin Ups
Military Press
Seated Calf Raises
Cable Rows
Barbell Upright Row

If needed: Standing EZ Curls and Skullcrushers

I will do 2 warmup sets, 1 work set of 5 reps and 1 work set of 12 reps (with reduced weight of course).

In my training log, I will have a column where I can record what I progressed on for each exercise, for each session. The goal is to progress on SOMETHING each session. The options are: weight, reps, rest time, and maybe more...

I'm thinking this routine will combine the benefits of HST (possibility of growing 3x per week) with the benefits of multiple rep ranges (5 and 12) for targetting different fiber types. It also incorporates progressive overloading.

What do you think??

well you're geared in the right direction,Training log and progressive avancement on your routine.However you mention nothing about diet.......that should be in your log also,keeping track is whats its all about,now back to the exercises theres good and bad about what you have,the good.......do it,if you keep progressing then great. The bad......not allowing ample time to recover will result in overtraining......so keep a look out especially for,sore joints,small nagging pain,slower progress then previously listed in your log.Its also good to completey change those exercises to a push-pull routine this way you can do Push exercises,Chest,shoulder,tris,Then the next time while those muscle groups are resting you can do pull exercises,Back,T bar rows,Lat pulldowns,Biceps,Then its good ole leg day the day for balls to the wall squats,hams,extenions,calves. anyone else want to add anything???

i agree, watch the overtraining. How anybody can do lower body and then anything else. after I'm done with legs, i limp out and want to puke.

Mon-Leg

Tue-chest-Tris

Wed-Bis-Forearms

Thur-Back

That works also...keep in mind growth is using the overload principle so this routine is also a good one to add...it keeps the body adapting so you won't get stale...thats the main cause of working out and seeing limited gains!
