Hello all, this is my first post, I just turned 18 and I weigh 180 LBs about 14% body fat. I used to be really overweight (260 lbs) and lost it and have built a good amount of muscle, but my strength I find not to be all that impressive. When I first started working out I never squatted or deadlifted which I regret, so they aren't as high as they should be but I want to focus on building real strength.
1 RM
Bench - 225 LBs
Squat - 245 LBs
Deadlift 245 LBs
I'm currently doing a full body workout alternating between 2 different workouts.
A
Barbell Squat 12,10,8,6,4 (135,145,155,165,175)
Inc DB Bench Press 12,10,8,6 (35,40,45,50)
Inc Bent Over Row 12,10,8,6 (45,50,55,60)
Shoulder Press 12,10,8 (30,35,40)
B
Barbell Deadlift 12,10,8,6,4 (135,145,155,165,175)
Barbell Bench Press 12,10,8,6 (135,145,155,165)
Dumbell Bent Over Row 12,10,8,6 (50,55,60,65)
Barbell Military Press 12,10,8 (95,105,115)
I rest for 30 seconds between sets and no rest between exercises.
Can anyone suggest a good strength routine? My goals atm are to get my bench to 1.5x my bodyweight and my Squat and Deadlift to 2x.
1.5=315
2.0=360
Thanks
