MONDAY - Pull

Dead lifts
Wide grip chins
Row [Bentover / Seated]
Bicep Curl

WEDNESDAYS - Push

Bench Press
Incline Press
Shoulder Press
Dips

FRIDAYS - Legs - [EDIT 26th October 2005 - REMOVED Leg Press]

Squat
Straight Leg DeadLifts

Planning on purchasing some pure whey once my maxi 'we don't rip you off much' muscle cyclone has run out, should be tonight in fact...

I'll post results later!

James,

a couple of questions,

How many sets and reps?
Seated bentover row? What's that?

**James** · 24-10-2005 01:39 PM

Deads, squats and big bench is 5x5, all the rest planned to be 3x6.

Seated / Bentover, is there due to the fact I might choose one or the other exercise, namely seated rows or bentover rows. Hmm... in hindsight maybe I should include both as seperate exercises since they work differnet areas?

EDIT: Perhaps I should add a tricep exercise to the list too, maybe pulldowns in the PULL session?

**Tom** · 24-10-2005 01:47 PM

on that push day your triceps are gonna hit with any push exercise (think bench press how much they get used) the dips should finish them off nicely, any more would be overtraining IMO,

with regards to row, you probably will only manage one exercise as your back should be shot from a good set of rows

**James** · 24-10-2005 01:49 PM

So it's ok to cut seated rows from the routine and just go with bentovers? I hope so, because I like my bentover rows =).

**Tom** · 24-10-2005 01:50 PM

should be ok

I agree with Tom. Just stick with the bent-over rows.

Also IMO if you are doing 5x5 squats then I'd drop the leg press as your legs should be fried after the squats. Leg press as well will just lead to overtraining.
