Workout I have made...

[stallion87]

Just and upper / lower split. I have my own home gym, but only really access to a barbell at the moment. My workout consists of solid compound movements.

Upper body - Monday ( less volume)
Bench press - 4x6
BOR's - 4x6
Overhead press - 4x6
Chins - 3x10 ( then add weight once I can do that)
Dips - 3x8

Lower body - Tuesday
Squats 4x6
Deadlift 3x10

Upper body - Thursday (more volume)
Bench press -3x10
BOR's - 2x10
Overhead press - 3x10
Pullups - 4xf (until I can do 10 reps)
Dips - 3x8

Lower body - Saturday
Deadlifts - 4x6
Squats 3x10


So what are your opinions on this. I have sort of implemented this off of Westside and then added in some lifts from stronglifts.

As long as you can recover it will work.

I think it is verging on the Just about too much. What would you change?

[Luffers]

If you are willing to train over the weekend you could make it a 2 on 2 off, that way you will be hitting each muscle every fifth day.

[stallion87]

Thanks for the input and good idea! Will take that into serious consideration. I will stick with the way I have it for now, If I am not progressing as to how I feel I should then I will move to the 2 on 2 off.

looks alright to me, I like lufers idea for the 2 and 2

I had a similar split but worked out for strength first part of the week and a normal BB split second part of the week. First part was primarily Load at max 5 reps, second part Volume at 8 reps max.

The split seems fine but will be borderline 1 Hour workout if that matters.

I'm not sure i could max my deads and squats more than once a week though? If you cant hen try it I guess.

[stallion87]

I understand what you are saying paul, However I will try and see how I get on for a few weeks, then I will probably end up doing 2 on - 2 off.

Obviously after a few weeks I will change the reps about to keep it fun.

why not just switch to a 4 day split?
