monday
Bench 1x5 (thats 4x5 light sets, 1x5 final set)
Rows 1x5 (same as with bench)
Squats 5x5 (thats 5 sets of 5 with the same weight on each set

wednesday
Deadlift (5x5 or 1x5 whcihever you can handle)
Pushpress (5x5)
Weighted Pullups (5x5)
Squat 5x5( alot lighter than your normal 5x5)

Friday
Bench 5x5
rows 5x5
Squat 1x5.

once 4 weeks goes by, change everything that says 5 to a 3. and stop doing wednesday squats.

for weights pick your current maxes for the program (ie, your current 5x5 max, and 1x5 max that you can complete) on week 3.

so you start 1 and 2 below what you KNOW you can do, week 3 should be easier, then week 4 beat your maxes, up the weight,

week 5 when everything changes to 3, keep your week 4 numbers, then week 6 start upping the weight, to weights youv never done. maybe 5 pound each side on bench for increase, and 10 pound each side on squat for increase, each week, if you can.


its very simple, and its a good routine, do it, and eat healthy foods in quantities that would make a fat person puke

if you are training for aesthetics why would you work on traps? when last time your heard a girl say "oooh i love your traps". lol. bootnec, theres a lot of bros on this site who train for aesthetics and a lot who train for mass and strength. matter of fact lots of us go through various stages and have at one time or another done it all. i know i have. now i just train for "the look" i work enough lower back to keep it strong but not get that blocky look. i stay away from power movement so as not to widen oblique. i did however build my frame on the very movements i shy away from now. this is what works for me:

1. 5 or 6 TOTAL sets for each muscle group trained to failure every 7 to 8 days.(2 exercises per muscle group example: standing bar curl 2 sets and hammer curl 3 sets thats it!!!
2. lots of drop sets and super sets.
3. lots of isolation movements with STRICT form
4. check my ego at door. i dont concern myself with weight only the strict adherence to my personal goals.
5. clean diet.

im not sure how effective this routine would be for you, but i have seen lots of ppl i work with get amazing results. btw keep posting and reading as their are lots of helpful and knowledgeable ppl here on ef.
