    Saturday CHEST / ABS

    Exercise Sets Reps

    Dumbbell Press - Incline 3 12 90 lbs (total)
    Dumbbell Press - Flat 3 12 90 lbs (total)

    Dumbbell Flies - Incline 3 12 70 lbs (total)

    Flat - Bench Press 4 12 65kg
    Incline - Bench Press 4 12 50kg

    Cable Crossover 4 12

    I would cut out the cables-as it is doing the same sort of thing as the flyes, And i would choose either dumbells or barbell presses and do these before flyes not after.

    Sunday TRICEPS / FOREARMS

    Lying curlbar extensions 4 12
    Close Grip Bench Press 4 12
    Tricep Dumbell Extensions 4 12
    Tricep Push down 3 12
    Tricep dips 3 12

    Reverse Curls 4 12
    Forearm Curls 4 12
    Dumbbell Circles 4 12


    I think lose the Lying curlbar extensions, Tricep Dumbell Extensions, Tricep Push downs as the triceps is a very small muscle and all that work will be overtraining them. I would also not train the forearms as through out the week they will get a hammering every day you go into the gym, when you go shopping, anytime you need to hold something reasonably heavy or grip something hard. And i would put the triceps and the chest together on the same day as any push excersise heavily involves the triceps.

    Monday BICEPS / ABS

    Bicep curls 4 12 70 lbs (total)
    Barbell curl / Curlbar Curl 4 12 80 lbs
    Preacher Curls (machine) 4 12 60 - 80 lbs


    Here i would just do Barbell curls, EZ bar Cuarls or hammer curls (which if you do want to hit your forearms is a goodun) as the same as the triceps the biceps are small muscles and get hit with compound pulling excersises. I would also add this onto the back day so the biceps will already be pre-exhausted from doing back so you won't feel as if you have to do as much as you are.

    Tuesday BACK

    Upper

    Lat Pull Down (Front) 3 12
    Lat Pull Down (Rear) 3 12
    Bent over Barbell Row 4 12
    Overhead Rows 4 12
    Lat Pull Down (close grip) 3 12

    Here I would alternate the front and back lat pull downs every six or so weeks, and if you can do wide grip pull ups then do those instead. I would also get rid of the everhead rows and the closegrip lat pull downs.
    Lower

    Dead Lift 3 8 90 lbs
    Hyperextensions 3 12

    Here i would put the dead lifts before the rest of the back, as it is proven that heavy compound big excersises release more testosterone into the body, and then theoretically this will mean you can get more out of your training. Also doing dead lifts means that you don't need to train trapsas the get a bit of a hammering from these anyway. And i would keep hypers till the end if you really want to keep them.
    This means your back workout would be as follows:
    deads
    BB rows
    lat pull downs/wide grip pull ups
    biceps
    Thursday SHOULDERS / ABS

    Standing Barbell Military Press (Front) 3 8
    Sitting Barbell Military Press (Rear) 3 8
    Standing Dumbbell Lateral Raise 3 8
    Seated Shoulder Press 4 10
    Upright Row 3 12
    Reverse Pec Dec Flies 3 12

    Here i would keep just one barbell press (whichever one you feel you get the most out of) and lateral raises. This will also use the triceps a lot so if you want then you could add it on to the chest/tris day.
    ABS (Sat / Mon / Thurs)

    Sits-ups 3 40
    Sit-ups (Twist) 3 20
    Leg Raises 3 12
    Crunches 3 12
    You only train every muscle group once a week so why should abs be different, they need time to recover aswell. Many think that training abs is pointless and a waste of time anyway but that is really down to personal opinion.

    You do need to train your legs aswell. an ideal workout would be
    squats
    stiffleg deads
    calf raises



    You didn't say what you wanted to achieve and what your diest is like so whether you are wanting to gain mass or lose it we need more information.

    Hope that was of some help

    Well....seems I'm the topic of much debate on another forum...I always like to be popular.

    lol...yeah, somewhere in-between.

    Look, not that I have anything to prove at my age and as most who know me on here know that I'm straight down the line and don't find the need to tell porkies, especially to boost my ego.

    It seems that people have this mental image that I have those stats and am as lean as Mariusz Pudzianowski, but if you read through previous posts I have never stated that I am lean at all. Why would I lie...what benefits would I achieve..?

    As like 99% of members on most internet forums, we don't personally know each other, we are only known by our pseudonyms. It's not like your gonna go to the pub and say to your mates, "Here, wait for Mr O to walk
    through the door, that big fooker's got 21" arms..." and I'm then gonna get off by people stairing at me...

    Look, I'll tell you what, I will add a pic of myself just so you can have a 'new mental image' of me and again if you think big fooker, fat fooker...I really don't give a toss!

    OK Nick....copy and paste the pic over to Muscletalk and I'll await the replies.

    Mr O you forgot put in your routine all the talking you do at the gym
    you dont go to train you go to tell your dodgy jokes and show your sick video's on your phone


    On a more serious note im Mr O's bro and training partner and in my honest opinion he could lift more but we dont push each other as much as we used to when we were younger.

    Well Mr O i`ve put it up mate, sorry if i got you wrong but i just had a picture in my head of how you would look and i agree there are rare exeptions, i think if you were to cut using AAS you would look amazing.

    Just my thoughts dude.

    I hate to tar you with the same brush but there is so much crap posted on the internet.

    to avoid the confusion (although this thread was interesting to read), should the question have been "what's your 1 rep max on the bench press"? ...

    No, he should have asked about deadlift or squat or push press, bench press is a poor indication of strength IMO

    How are you working that out? Have you tried it or using a calculator?

    I used one of the many online 1rm calcs...

    http://www.hamiltonsfitness.co.uk/ca...p_max_lift.htm

    I currently do 3 sets of 12-15 @ 35kg, inc the bar.

    I probably could push more but I broke my elbow last year and I'm still taking it easy... the last thing I want to do is damage it again.

    I only have a few more weeks on this regimen though, I have a new plan starting in December where I'll be training for strength so my sets for the bench press will be 8,6,4,4 ascending...

    Its just that some clown has voted in the poll.

    That will show as the time of the last reply but against your post!
