Need a new routine

[B0ARDIN087]

Something similar to 5x5 but not 5x5 due to the fact that I didn't plan my cycle around it and have already started it. I'm really trying to get tons of growth in my shoulders/traps/chest. They are big weakspots of mine. Any suggestions?

5x5 is amazing for strength and muscle density gains but for size id stick to a traditional bodybuilding split. Not to say 5x5 does not add size, it does, rep range of 8-12 is better if that is your goal though.

I agree also about the 5x5 and the traditional split. But what i am searching is that the 5x5 is reccomended from a lot of people and is guaranteed to work very good. Isnt there a traditional split routine that is lets say one of the tops in this category that all are recommending it as the 5x5?

I am looking for a traditional split to do after the 10 week 5x5 but there isnt one that most people follow. can anyone help?

Yeah I have posted different workouts etc. Have you looked through this forum?

I have, I'm looking for more of a full body routine or at least a split with plenty of complexes

If you are after full body workouts, then the 5x5 could be a good option. Bench squat and dead monday, wednesday and friday. You could add in extra exercises to assist the lifts. Again, this program is a strength routine, a split would add more muscle mass if that is your goal. Which ever you decide to do, hope it works out for you.

hey boardin
i also have done 5x5
i find that a HST program mixed with 5x5 works great
google HST forum and youll find all sorts of good info
imo do 5x5 till u plateau then HST then revert to 5x5 etc etc swap between the two keeps things fresh and moving along nicely

HST - my first guess also. It's a full body program. It works. Here's the link:

Hypertrophy-Specific Training : : Official Home of HST

My personal preference is for dual factor HST:

Dual Factor Hypertrophy Training:

Either way it's a solid program. You won't be wasting your time.
