thoughts of this for a strength/ size routine.. - Thursday, June 25, 2009 9:34 PM ( #1 )
looking mostly for strength but size is nice too.
 
MVP i  kno i got ur opinion on this but i just wanna ask around and seewhat other peoples experiences are. No offence to you what so ever.
 
im 17 5'9 149lbs.
1 rep maxes
Bench 225
deadlift 300
squat NA (back injury...getting there tho)
 
monday( chest,tris,shoulders, HEAVY)
Flat bench 3x3
seated shoulder press 3x3
Close grip bench 3x8
dips 3x10
chin ups 3x10
ab work
 
Tuesday(legs,Back,bis)
Front squats 3x3
deadlift 3x3
Power Cleans 3x5
Calf  Raises 3x10

wednesday off
 
thursday (Chest Tris Shoulder lighter)
flat bench 3x5
seated shoulder press 3x5
close grip 3x10
dips 3x10
chin ups 3x10
ab work
 
Friday (legs back bis lighter)
Front Squats 3x5
deadlift 3x5
power cleans 3x8-10
calf raises 3x10
pull up 3x whatever i can do
1 or 2 bicep isos
abs work
 
I gues i want to get my strength up more then anything. My friend who is a pretty big strong guy does something similar to this and i would love to be as strong as he is.
 
Im stuck at 185 3x5 on the bench press and i hear that dumbells and incline  benching helps break through plateaus but i dont kno how to incorporate them into this routine, and whenever i do dumbells or incline on the same day as flat bench my lift goes down. Idk i need some help.
 
and once again mvp just lookin for more opinions :]

:) i just got my 185 5x5 plateau broken all i did was rest more in between sets
i think it looks ok except the squat and deadlift being on same day what i do is usually this
Monday:squats,overhead press, leg press<isnt needed unless working quads>,hammer curls, and deltoid work cant remember the excercises
Tuesday: Deadlift, BB benchpress, normal curls, calf raises, and BB rows, db lunges

I just repeat that every other day and take weekends off those are full body workouts though im not too good with splits but im doing same thing you are and this is working for me

You should not be doing legs and back together in the same workout - the entirety of your legs and back comprise the vast majority of your muscle mass, and you should not be able to train one after thoroughly training the other.  If you're going to split your body into just two parts, do one day upper body, one day lower body.  On the upper days, train chest, shoulders, tris, upper back and biceps.  Do some kind of main pressing movement, a secondary pressing movement, one pullup variation, one row variation, and one exercise each for bis and tris.  On the lower days, train quads, hams, hips, lower back, and calves.  Do a main squat or deadlift movement (alternate them on your lower days), one secondary leg movement (leg press, lunges, etc.), a heavy ab movement, and calves.

If I was to split my routine into 2 I would do 

A - Legs/back/bi's
B - Chest/Shoulders/Tri's

If you really want strength, focus on doing triples until you can only get singles. Then do singles until you max out. Only do this for a good 4-6 weeks and then deload. Those triples and singles are killer.
