Mixing up Things - Saturday, July 12, 2008 9:49 PM ( #1 )
So I need to increase my bench numbers big time so I'll try to design a routine to work on it, tell me what you think.

Monday-Triceps/Shoulders
Tuesday Back/Biceps
Wednesday-legs
Thursday-Chest/triceps
Friday-Rest
Saturday-Big Compound Lifts day
Sunday-Rest

Layout:
Monday:
SkullCrushers
Close-grip Benchpress
Dips
Shoulder press
Lat Raises
Reverse Flies

Tuesday:
Db Rows
BB rows
Deadlifts
E-z curls
Negative concentration db curls

Wednesday:
Squats
Lunges
Calf Raises
Abs work

Thursday:
Bench press
Dumbell Bench Press
DB flies
Push ups
Dips

Friday- Rest

Saturday:
Bench press
Squats
BB rows
Deadlifts

Sunday-Rest

Basically the reasoning behind this is, I need to work my benchpress numbers( I need to add 50+pounds )
With this workout i'd get 1 day fully concentrating  on my triceps and shoulders, two other days who will work chest and triceps as well.

I get normal days such as back/bicep and legs cause I musn't neglect them.

I get a full heavy compound lifts day because they will increase my overall strength and might break my plateau.

This results in workout all major muscle groups 2 times a week, and my objective chest/triceps 3 times a week with rest in between workouts.

I'm not sure if i'll keep those exercises but basically the compound lifts will be low reps high sets and isos will be low sets high reps.

Opinions?
