Anyone have a split routine, roughly 4-6 days/week made up of only compound lifts? I would like to try cutting out all isolations for the next 2 months and see how I fare.

Monday: Squats, Pullups
Tuesday: Powercleans, dips
Wednsday: Deadlifts, Pullups
Thursday: Squats, Overhead Press
Friday: Flat Bench, dips
Saturday: Deadlifts, Overhead Press

5x5

thanks man.

^^no one? Really? What about a list of all the compound lifts you would want to include into your routine and then I will break them into seperate body parts/days?

You know, I was never really happy with the size of my rear delts. Life sucks sometimes.

I'm very happy with my rear delts, they're like softballs.

naa, no bulking diet, i ate alot of protein but alot of fat and carbs too, soo my bf went up to about 13-14 %

at one point i was at around 205-213lbs, and i could only see a 4-pack of abs LOL, so i went on a cutting phase and got back down to 176 7-8% bf

after about a month of working out (may 08) im at around 180lbs..no clue if its water weight or not, cuz i started creatine...

i just now (like a couple months) started using squats and deadlifts, just for the growth hormone effect...

yeaa my weaker points are opposite from alot of people...alot of people dont like to train legs, neither do i, i just have gifted legs that always grew with little training

176 at about 7-8% bf is impressive but if u were about 210 and 13-14%bf and u shed down to 176 even though u lost about 15lb. of fat u lost about 19lb. of LBM

yeaa i know, i was at the point where i just wanted to start all over again and i didnt care how much muscle i lost...but...muscle has memory..so ima get that muscle back!! LOL..

o yea, the numbers might have been a lil off..but it should be close enough

wow, i wake up and theres like 2 more pages of posts! LOL

due to the way my body grows, its really hard for me to use squats and deadlifts in my routines, some parts of my body grow way faster than others, i dont know if any of u have seen my legs...but they are wayyyy bigger than my upper body, and my upper body isnt necessarily small either...my front delts are bigger than my upper chest, thighs got bigger than my calves...

in order for me to work my chest more than my delts and before my tri's give out, i got to pre exhaust them with a iso that doesnt involve neither...

i do lateral raises AFTER a muscle building compound like OHP, to better target the rear and side delts which seem to be falling behind in size, im not saying im replacing iso's with compounds, juz including them along side to get full muscle development

my thighs are at 27 inches..not even that far from pro bodybuilders, but my calves have falling way behind with only doing compounds, dont they need iso's??

what im basically saying is i include all muscle building compounds along with iso's to develop full muscles...

and i dont need to have 3-5 yrs of training to start working wit iso's
im not a hard gainer at all..i have really good genetics, i was able to go from 135lbs to a solid 180lbs in a lil over a year

oh. i understand now.

45 pounds in 1 year is very impressive. was this on a bulking diet as well?? or just eating normally and incoorporating lifting into your lifestyle?

your body is completely opposite of mine as far as the weaker areas go.

my weaker/smaller areas would be my legs/calves, and lower back.

my torso / chest / arms are well ahead of the lower body in terms of size and strength

Last time I checked DBB didnt have any spell police. This is an internet forum, spelling mistakes happen...

Not to mention the grammatical errors in your post. Seriously who cares.

i dont care at all, i just thought it was funny that she spelled the same word 2 different ways in one line, both of which were wrong. not like it's a big deal.

Be a dick, it is widely known here that I can not spell , i check my computer as I run through my office on the way to do other tasks, often time I am compelled to post with out the time to spell check. Especially if it is just a few sentences, or my journal.
