homemade routine - Sunday, May 25, 2008 7:48 PM ( #1 )
well i never really do other people's routines, (in fact the only real routine ive ever done was HST which i quit 2 weeks in lol) ive always made my own based on what i know.  This is my latest one, its a bit different though in the way the sets and reps are set up.  Take a look, feedback greatly appreciated.  I think its a beauty. 

letters (PS and LAS) explained at the bottom

Monday
Bench PS
Squat PS
Snatch Deadlift LAS
Pullup LAS
BB Curl LAS
Tri OH X LAS

Wednesday
Power Clean PS
Deadlift PS
Pullup LAS
Weighted Crunch LAS

Thursday
Squat PS (this is what i do but id say this is optional)
Incline Bench LAS
Calf Raise LAS
Seated OH Press LAS
Lateral Raise LAS (optional)

Saturday
Squat LAS
Front Squat LAS (optional)
Flat Bench LAS
T-bar Row LAS
Weighted Decline Crunch LAS
BB Curl LAS
Tri OH X LAS
 
Lactic Acid sets (LAS)
1. Pick a weight at about 10rm
2. Rep it to one before failure, rest 50s or less
3. Do as many sets as needed to hit 32 reps 
4. 4x8, 10,8,8,6,  or 9,8,8,7 are good rep/set schemes

Power sets (PS)
1. Pick a weight at about 3rm
2. Rep it to one before failure, rest long as needed
3. Do as many sets as need to hit 15 reps 
4. 5x3 is best rep/set scheme

Progression
LAS: When you can complete 32 reps within 4 sets without failing, add weight
PS: When you can complete 15 reps within 5 sets without failing, add weight

That's pretty interesting about the whole ps and las sets. I actually have done something like the ps sets. I tried doing a weight for as many reps as I could until failing. Then I kept doing sets until I got 30 reps in all. After two weeks I put about 10 pound increase in bench. So keep posting on whether or not it works. It looks a pretty decent routine, hope it works for you.

thats what i was thinkin for the OH press only thing is youll be slightly fatigued from bench.  I think ill just add it in there right now though.  The tri oh extension is just a dumbell held up with both hands and lifted up nd down behind your head using your tris.  You could isolate them another way or use close grip bench too though.

yea stone.  back when i used to do a split iso routine i would work chest first, and then tried shoulders.   they didn't have the strength for heavy lifting b/c i had somewhat exhausted them in assisting with the chest workout.

so i switched it to  chest/bicep
legs/bacK
shoulder/tricep


^^ worked a LOT better and i was able to MURDER each muscle group to it's full potential

My name is FOX.... and I approve this message.

well heres the thing, i can put it on thursday and have the shoulders be slightly exhausted going into the exercise, or i can put it on wednesday, and have that routine user working the anterior delts 2 days in a row.  Im not sure which is worse, or if there is a better solution to this.

This is why originally i had the shoulders just being worked by chest/back exercises and through in some side laterals to hit the medial delts.
