I like the routine I copied from 2BigFred

Monday-back-calves
Tuesday-Chest-hamstrings-abs
Wednesday-Quads-calves
Thursday-Delts-traps-abs
Friday-triceps-biceps-calves
 
mon-chest/abs
tuesday-back/abs
wensday-legs
thur-bis/tris/abs
friday-shoulders/traps/abs
Saturday-off
sunday-off

i do 45 minutes of cardio post workout except for the day i train legs. i hit it with alot of sets but i switch teh rep schemes and teh weights i go by pump and feel and burn that is the way arnold trained. Don't concentrate on heaviness but intensity
 
Thanks bro's I am going to try a bunch and see what seems to work the best
I need some type of shock
 
If im not mistaken bro i think we pretty much are after the same type of physique... Im finding now that i like volume, volume more volume... works best for me... for years i was stuck in arut with trying to do low volume heavy weight.... i opt for super setting alot.. constant movement not much rest, alot of focus on mind muscle conentration

As for your split looks good exept i dont think you need to give shoulders there own day... maybe work shoulders and tris and give chest its own day. jmo

edit
example today i did shoulder tris... because i work a lot now i dont have a set routine pretty much go as my body tells me.. if im burnt after half an hour i call it quits.... if i feel good sometimes i got 1 1/2- 1 3/4 hours i did something like this today
military presses supper setted with incline skulls... 4 sets 15-20 reps each seet

CG bench press SS with lateral raises- same

dips supper setted with cable upright rows- same

rear delt cable pulls super setted with rope pushdowns- pretty much no rest in between sets
than i power walked home fromt he gym back to the crib about 45 minutes! lol!

Actually i have been doing this very thing for quite some time now high intensity, high reps and supersetting it has worked well and I will continue it just thought maybe a different split could shock the muscles... I 've added different variations of excerises as well
 
i agree bout the volume training it works best for me also. I also like my schedule because i get the weekend off the recoperate and party and not worry bout training

ya like isaid bro i just go on feel... somedays ill go as heavy as possible for 5-6 reps...most of the time its volume... as long as your blastin the muscle to failure, goin all out your doing the job IMO...
 
If youve been doing volume for a while and looking for a challenge.. and have the TIME to devot yourself( i know you work a lot) give westside variation i use to follow a shot... Max effort days followed by rep effort days... this was by far my favorite routine... Geez i miss my deadlifting, fuckin lower back :(

Havn't tried this I think I will though sounds interesting... is that all there is to it??? Thanks bro
 
yea i do that i switch between weight and volume
 
So what do the splits look like? Are you doing a total body workout for max oneday and then high reps the next day? Or is basically one week heavy one week light high rep
 
nah i follow my schedule but i hit with volume one week then i hit with weight and low reps

theres a tonnnn of info on the web about WSBB,,, i followed a variation my split would look like
1) max effort push
2) rep effort pull
3) rep effort push
4) max effort pull,
REPEAT... while in college and not much responibilty i could really push myself and do two days on one off,, realistically now it be more one on than off
My log was on IT in the winter(lol).... basically a max effort day id pick 3 compound movements that constantly revolved ... example... ME push day ( and my reps were 3-6 not the recomended for powerlifters 1-3) i may do Bench press, dips and shoulder presses.... Next ME session i may start off with incline presses, close grip bench and than suspened bench press....Max effort days for pull i always started with a dead variation, than squat movments or leg press or something and than a middle back ,... Rep effort days were all high reps more ISO movements, you get the idea... key is to keep switching movements... and ME days always try to beat yourself.... thats what i did in a nut shell,,, thats when i saw most results in lifting weights.. untill i messed up my back doing bentover rows with 265 a SLIGHT jerk and BAM lower backs never been the same

Over the summer my split looked like this......

Monday- Legs and Lower Back
Tuesday- Off
Wednesday- Chest and Triceps
Thursday- Off
Friday- Upper back and Biceps
Saturday- Speed Bench (Chest and Shoulders)

Felt my chest was kind of lagging so I was working it twice a week. Went from 38" to 41 1/4" over the summer though. (that's measuring right under my armpits so all pec, no boobage in that measurement, LOL! Abs I usually took care of on my off days.

Currently my split looks like this.......

Monday- Max Effort Squat/Deadlift day, then I will do in this order lower back, hams/glutes, abs.

Wednesday- Max Effort Bench, then I will work in this order triceps, lats, Biceps will be done afterwards, but not a HUGE concentration on them.

Thursday- Shoulders and Traps

Friday- Speed Squat/deadlift, then same accessory work as monday (lower back, hams/glutes, then abs)

Saturday- Speed Bench, then same accessory work as Wednesday (triceps, lats, then biceps)

Mike Wolfe has written up my Wednesday and Saturday training splits for me. Utilizing the conjugate method to build up that bench press baby!!

Interesting so would this be considered some form of WSBB training? How many sets are you doing? Thanks for the help JP

It depends on your goals... I usually do 20-25min of cardio afterwards... I change it up all the time though some days I will jump rope others I will incline the treadmill all the way up etc

If I am cutting before or during summer though I try and do my cardio in the morning and get a full 45min workout in and do weight training later in the day
 
i did 30 minutes for a while and notice no drop in bf i am told u start burning fat at 45. I do 45 i have abs and my strength is the same

Yeah it's WSBB.......

On my bench, I'm shirting up every other week on M.E. day.....on shirted days I'm doing boards.....Weeks 1, 5, and 7 I'm using 3 board with the minis.....weeks 3, 6, and 9 I'm using 2 board no bands. Weeks 2, 4, and 8 I'm going raw full range. Work up to heavy singles on shirted days usually ends up around 8 singles after warming up. On the raw days it's 6 sets of 3. For any accessory work it's 4 sets of 8. On D.E. bench day it's 8 triples on bench using a percentage of my max bench and the minis. And the rep ranges for accessory work stay the same.

I write up my deadlift and squat routines myself........Deadlift/Squat days the sets and rep ranges vary from week to week. Depending on whether I work up to a heavy single or not. But for the accessory work on those days I do 4 sets of 6-8 reps. On speed I do 10 sets of 2 on squats. And I rarely do speed work for my deads. I have great explosion off the floor and I attribute that to my love for Zercher Squats :D:D
 
that looks like a good one, shawty..... that pretty much just goes to show the versatility of WSBB, its a method not a routine per se.... you can pretty much taylor fit it to meet your needs while keeping in line with the underlying principal

OH yeah, that's part of why I love the conjugate method. It's so versatile............and you NEVER get bored :D
 
Ever read a book called "Brawn" or "Beyond Brawn " ??
Give it a go , what do you have to lose ???
You never go to failure in the training , and they also give nutrition guide-lines .
I tried it a while back , and actually went up 40 pounds in the dead after 8 weeks on the program .
