I need a new workout.

I've done the Old School Method and like it, but don't want to do it again right away. Cardio and abs need to be done 2x per week.

Goals - build muscle and strength while keeping bodyfat low (I know bf is mostly diet) and increasing cardio capabilities.

Anyone have a good program? Any good ones on the board I've missed?
 
Fro, I'm doing one now that's pretty basic, 3days/wk. Some cardio on the off days. I'll post it up if you like. But it's probably nothing you haven't seen before.

Post it up if you don't mind. I'm lazy and uninspired today.

Sunday: off

I throw in cardio here and there on off days or post workout depending on my current fatness quotient. But that's pretty much it.
 
Usually around an hour. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Leg day like I said is a little longer as I tend to up the volume a little. But never more than say an hour and fifteen minutes.
 
As long as you incorporate the squat, bench press, and deadlift into your routine...keep things simple...train with intensity...and get enough recovery time...you can't go wrong.

I still suggest a WSB routine...there are several sample 9 week routines for them...

b fold: what are WSB routines??? and where can i find samples of them??? i'm also lookng for some direction with my workout... just started working out again after what seems an eternity. thanks :)
 
I would first go to the powerlifting board and read...and ask tons of questions.

From there I would go here and read every article that they have:

www.elitefitnesssystems.com

email me if you need any help.

I did something that was really easy and is killing me...
I took all the normal work outs I do, and I started doing 5 sets of 5 or less...

so I start out with a weight that I can only really do for 5 times, then I add more, and so on, until the last rep I'm doing 1, and just barely getting it, sometimes I don't even get it, and my spotter has to help me cheat a bit...

I've had been doing 10-8-6, and I just could blast my muscles with that rep range, now it's just all about killing my muscles!!!

It's also nice b/c I'm doing the same exersizes I like to do, but I'm just switching them up a bit.
 
heres mine fro, its kinda what your looking for:

Mon: Chest/Tris cardio/abs
Tues: Back/Bi's
Wed: Legs/calves
Thur:off
Fri: shoulders cardio/abs

workouts are typically 1 hour long

yeah why dont u try german volume training like corn presented sort of, or you could try 1-6 training, or reverse pyrmaiding. or i was looking over at big kev's routine at anabolic review and he posted his whole routine up exercises, reps, and sets that he says he has been using for quite some time now, and he is a really big guy so u could try that out it seems like high volume if u like that.
