I was gonna do more whole body workouts, but I want more isolation and its hard to throw in isolation because youre always hitting that same part the day after or the day before in a whole body workout. So im still keeping the same principles as strength but im also adding isolation. Well see how it goes, i feel ill respond well to this.

Yeah I am loving my new routine I made for myself, to be honest it is working much better than the 5x5 and way funner. I might have to do the 315 deadlift rep out again, I might be able to get more than 21 Hey by the way are the rules still the same ie 10 seconds rest max between squats and 5 seconds max between deadlifts?

*** Good to get back in the gym, took some ephedrine and it had me going haha. I did a lot of shit today to see where I was at. Overall im pretty happy. Squats were a little dissappointing since I couldnt get 405 but 225x27 was pretty good, and I tried 405 after this so i think i might get 405 fresh. I got 365x3 after 225x27 squats so Im sure i could. I took about a 2 hr break from the 225x27 squats till the 365x3/405x0

im def doing the deadlift 315 rep out again lol. Yea bro 5x5 is fuckin boring it works no doubt but im ready for something new

yes same rules. I actually dont think i took more than 3 seconds between any reps of my 225x27 squats lol but yea 10 sec max

if you were interested then with a little help and some practice you could incorperate some powerlifting techniques to your bench which would help your numbers although there is less focus on the chest when doing it that way so for bodybuilding purposes its not really as good as the way your doing it...

 

[the.gladiator1987]

nah I dont really wanna use powerlifting techniques for my bench, I know my bench will get stronger anyway. Did you see the new routine I posted back a page?

yep looks good. Good form on your squats! and on your bench from a BBing point of view. 70x2 is a strong pullup aswell!

Wow I am really liking that new routine! I would seriously do it if I didn't have my own lol! I am especially loving the 1 handed deadlifts, grip work, and weighted pullups. To be honest and I wasn't going to say anything but I think you should definitely get those weighted pullups up, with your other strength feats I think you should be doing like 90x3 or more on those. BTW, em I am loving your sig pic! I had to clikc on it before when I wasn't platinum but now jesse01 gave me a 7 day plat so I can see it full!
Also 1 handed pushupsd are a great idea, I just added those into my routien alos.
