Old-School 3 day per week thread....

[The Shadow]

...a couple of peeps from the C&C Board are gonna give it a try.

At least one - Frorider is gonna chart everything, sets, reps, weight, diet scale weight etc.

OK bro - here's your thread.

Copy and Paste routine.




Guys - also, please do not criticize routine (no flames) unless opinions are asked for.

Thanks.

This is the thread that sparked all the discussion.

Here's the routine I'm doing, modified slightly from the one Cornholio suggested:

Monday

Deadlifts 1 max set of 20.
Overhead Press - 5 sets of 5
Squats - 5 sets of 3
Seated Calf Raise - 2 sets of 20

Wednesday

Barbell Rows - 5 sets of 5
Bench Press - 5 sets of 5
Deadlifts - 1 set of 20
Standing Calf Raise - 2 sets of 20

Friday

Shrugs - 5 sets of 5
Barbell Curls - 5 sets of 5
Dips - 5 sets of 5
Squats - 5 sets of 5 with weight from Monday


After this routine, I may switch to the one BuggyWhips posted on the thread or I may switch back to a 1x a week per muscle group.

Isn't your back going to fall apart doing deads and squats twice a week? I know mine would.

That thinking is why most people's backs suck.

Squat once heavy, once med and deadlift light. No biggie.

Well, I hope my legs will start growing by doing this. I feel they're lagging behind.

Plus, this is an experiment. If my back muscles are worked, great. But if my spine starts to feel fucked up, I'll back off.

Agreed!!!

Just maintain good form on the deads and squats and you'll be gold.

interesting. I'm really curious to see how your intensity holds up towards the end of each workout.

It's a good thing I'm not one of those people. Either way, what good is doing light deadlifts?

I'd like to know this as well.
