NROL H-2 modifications - Sunday, July 13, 2008 8:51 PM
i sent something similar to brihead but i'm looking for overall opinions

i'm definitely going to modify it but i dont know how. i might do add in some squats. but i was thinking of adding in another another low volume leg workout for 4 total days a week. or i could make it a 6 day cycle instead of 7 but in that case im working upper body every 3 days instead of 4 then 3.

i like the 4 days a week thing because im probably going to be eating more junk and more in general the next month so working out more (with a reasonable amount which this is) would probably help make more of whats gained muscle. what do you think?

this is the original routine

Day 1: Horizonal Push Pull
A1.BB reverse grip row
A2.Barbell bench

B1.wide grip cable row
B2.Dumbell incline bench

C1. Dips


Day 2: Legs
A1. Snatch grip DL

B1. Dynamic Lunge
B2. Step up

C1. Reverse crunch


Day 3: Vertical Push Pull
A1. Close grip chins
A2. Barbell shoulder press

B1. Wide grip lat pulldown
B2. Chek Press

C1. Barbell curls



thats the outline of it. there are 4 different rep ranges he uses for each workout. 2x25, 3x12, 5x6, 6x3 all alternated through the workouts so by the end of 8 weeks each is done twice. 2x25 gets 30sec. rest, 3x12 gets 60sec. rest, 5x6 and 6x3 get 90sec. rest

yea've ive been doing it for awhile. about 15 weeks actually but just started the hypertrophy routines 6 weeks ago. I'm starting H-2 on thursday.

I think i'm going to have it like this
DAY 1 horizontal push/pull
DAY 2 lower body quads dominant
DAY 3 OFF
DAY 4 vertical push/pull
DAY 5 OFF/abs
DAY 6 lower body hamstrings/hips dominant + calves
DAY 7 OFF

so i would have to come up with another leg day.

That sounds like a good idea with the 4 different days you have, but why don't you try working out every other day instead of 2 on, 1 off, 1 on, 1 off, etc...
 
Try doing:
horizantal push/pull
off
quad dominant
off
vertical push/pull
off
hamstring dominant
off
 
I personally like a day of rest after each lifting day for recovery.  You'd be doing working out m, w, f, sun one week, then tues, thurs, sat, mon the next week...
 
I do agree that H-2 has low volume for legs compared to the upperbody workouts, so adding a 2nd leg day seems like a good idea to me. 
Squats are better than steroids

thats not a bad idea but then i'd be finishing on a random day since it would be an 8 day rotation. i mean theres nothing wrong with that, i just wouldnt be consistently doing the same days each week. the way i have it set up is the same way (as far as days per week) as h-1 so i dont think it would be too much of a problem but i'll consider what you said.
