Wanna Be Big Routine??????

[Sixbits]

OK, here it goes, my first post on Elite! Hope I get alot of replies hahahahaha

Anyway, what do the men and women of this board think about the Wanna Be Big routine? I do the same excercises, but I add a couple more sets to each muscle group.

Excellent routine.

 

[Tuna Guy]

i second that, but would add more reps and sets if i were a beginner.

 

[Robboe]

Excellent, although i don't like hacks. They fuck with my knees.

Also, doing chest and back on the same day is a bit too demand ing for me and i also don;t do abdominal work regularly.

I personally think the sets/reps are sound...

I like the routine alot- allows plenty of time for recovery and seems to have enough sets for stimulation and uses mostly compound movements- the key to mass-

 

[Mr BC]

Good routine.I would add alittle more volume in the way of sets and also add some shrugs to back day on DAY 1.

 

[Sixbits]

Mr. BC, how much more volume would you add?

Is 3 sets for Bi's enough? I see people in the gym doing 10 sets for Bi's!! Thanks for the input guys, so far so good...

If you were gonna add more sets, do another set of bench, another set of pull-ups, another set of military presses, and another set of squats.

But I don't recommend it.

Do NOT add any other sets for the smaller lifts.
