My new gym program
January 23, 2008
Ok, I’ve finally sat down and figured out my new ultra-awesomo gym program for the next 6 weeks.
First I created a list of gym exercises that I have warmed to. This makes it a little easier to organise & pick what exercises to throw into each rotation.
I have two programs that im gonna alternate each week. Each rotation (2 weeks) ill drop my rep target for each set by 2 reps (eg: 9,7,5). Each program consists of a two day split of [chest, shoulders, arms, core] & [legs, back, core]. I will superset the paired sequential exercises.
Week 1, 3, 5:
Split 1:
- Chest
- Barbell bench
- Incline dumbell bench
- Shoulders
- Power pulls (barbell deadlift to upright row)
- Rotator bar (barbell shrug , raise elbows at side to shoulder height – elbows at right angles, then anterior raise with elbows locked as they are)
- Arms
- Chin-ups (underhand)
- Lying tricep ez-bar extentions
- Core
- Leg Raises
- Swissball Woodchops
Split 2:
- Lower
- 2 finger squats (front barbell hack squats)
- Leg press
- Straight leg deadlifts
- Abductor swings
- Back
- Bentover Row
- Lat pulldowns
- Core
- Leg raises
- Swiss woodchops
Week 2,4,6:
Split 1:
- Chest
- Swiss dumbell bench
- Incline barbell bench
- Shoulders
- Anteiror single-arm dumbell raises
- Power barbell shrugs
- Arms
- 21’s barbell curls
- Tri cable pulldowns
- Core
- Lying bench leg raises
- Weighted swiss crunches
Split 2:
- Legs
- Squats
- Leg curls
- Split squats
- Eccentric lateral cable strides
- Back
- Barbell pull
- Back extentions
- Core
- Lying bench leg raises
- Weighted swiss crunches
Hopefully with the alternating programs & updating them every 6 weeks with new exercises ill get enough variation to keep shocking the system.
Also comparing this program with a max set count of around 12 per session i should be able to workout more intensely than my previous prescribed program of 40 sets (of 9 reps) per session.
I’ll keep ya updated on how its going 🙂
