I've been training for just over 3 years now and pretty much from the start I used Mike Matthews, 'Bigger, Leaner, Stonger' plan if you've heard of it. I've tweaked things here and there to suit myself a little better but kept the basics from it.
I feel that when I was on my 1st cycle I could of done a lot more things but I just stuck with how id been training natty. Got some decent strength gains I think...and put 19lbs on in 12 weeks, kept about 15lbs, but i feel I could of got more out of my cycle with the right training.
So, i've writen up a new plan for me to start and would really appreciate some feedback on it.
Monday - Chest
Incline Barbell 5x5
Incline Dumbbell 3x8
Flat Barbell Bench 5x5
Weighted Dips 3x8
Dumbbell Chest Pull-over 3x8
(I really want to bring out my upper chest so i thought doing more incline than flat would help this) Should I add in flat dumbells as well?
Tuesday - Back
Deadlifts 5x5
Barbell Row 5x5
Lat Pull down 3x8
Single arm Cable row 3x8
Dumbbell Row 3x8
Wednesday - Shoulders
Seated Military Press 5x5
Side raises 3x8
Rear delt fly's 3x10
Arnold Press 3x8
Barbell Shrugs 3x8
Thursday - Arms
Barbell Curls 5x5
Close Grip Flat Bench 5x5
Hammer Curls 3x8
Cable Skull Crushers 3x8
Friday - Legs
Back Squats 5x5
RDL's 5x5
Leg extention 3x8
Leg Curl 3x8
Calf Raises on leg press machine 3x8 toes pointed up and then 8 with toes pointed out.
5 minutes on recumbant bike for a cool down.
Saturday and Sunday - Rest
Mon/Wed/Fri - Abs (Supersetted)
Cable Crunchies 3x12
Hanging Leg Raise 3xFailiure
Ab wheel roll outs on knees 3xFailiure.
I do cardio 2-3 times a week, just a steady 3-4 mile run over hilly terrain, throw a bit of HIIT in it but not that often.
Not sure if im going to be roasted with this plan or not, if I am, please include some ideas of where it can be improved!
Thanks.
