I'm 23 & have been bodybuilding since I was 15, so it's not really a case of me not knowing what to do, but I'm looking to try out new routines and aren't really sure which kind of routines are available to me based on the equipment I have.
I train at home using the following equipment:
- Power Rack with Pullup bar
- Incline/Flat Bench
- Olympic Barbell, EZ Bar & Dumbbell set
- 200kg worth of Olympic weights
- Preacher Curl attachment
I bought all this equipment a couple years ago as I prefer training at home & I've got all the basics sorted with this stuff. I like to train 5x a week (Mon-Fri) and have been doing for a while now.
The routine I've been following for a while now is basically Mon: Chest, Tue: Back, Wed: Shoulders, Thurs: Legs, Fri: Arms. I haven't been doing anything too complicated, and instead have just been doing the basic 3 sets of 8-12 reps per exercise, then moving on to another exercise & doing the same thing. For example, for chest I've been doing 3 sets of 8-12 on the following exercises: Flat Bench, Incline Bench, Flyes & I finish it off with some weighted pushups. The rest of my routine is pretty much the same, albeit with different exercises of course, but I'm sure you get the jist of it.
My question is, what are some good, well known/tested routines which I could follow based on the equipment I have. I'm tired of following the same basic routine I've been following for a while now and am looking for a change. If you guys could suggest a decent 5x a week routine (Mon-Fri) which I can follow using my available equipment, I'd greatly appreciate it. Even if the routine is known to be hard/advanced, I'm still more than willing to try it out, so please don't hold back on any suggestions.
Many thanks in advance.
