I'm going to try and get my maxes for the big three up. I want to only utilize a belt and wraps, so my routine is geared towards a rawer lifting sytle. It is as follows:
Mon. Heavy bench/shoulders
1. incline or flat or decline bench presses-3 rep max
2. incline or flat or decline DB presses-3X8
3. dips or Hammer press machines-3X8
4. military press or DB military or front raises-3X10
5. side raises (different variations)-3X10
6. bent-over raises or high rows or reverse pec-deck-3X10
Wed. Back/Calves/Abs
1. good morning variations or rack deadlifts-3 rep max
2. BB rows or DB rows-3X8
3. pulldown variations-3X8
4. shrug variations-3X8
5. seated calf raises-3X12
6. weighted abs or leg raises-3X15
Fri. Light Bench/Arms
1. speed bench-8X3@60% of 1 rep max
2. floor press or rack lockouts or CG bench-5 rep max
3. BB ext. or DB ext. variations-3X10
4. BB curls or DB curls or preacher curls-3X8
5. reverse BB curls or hammer curls-3X8
Sat. Legs
1. speed squats-8X3@60% of 1 rep max
2. box squats or squats or front squats-5 rep max
3. pullthroughs or step-ups or stiff legs-3X10
4. calf raises-3X12
5. side bends-3X15
I am using a basic Westside template. I have adjusted the assistant work because I need more time to recover. I feel that I have overtrained in the past.
Any advice/comments would be greatly appreciated.
