After a few weeks of unorganized training and looking all over the net at different routines I've finally decided to just do a simple push/pull routine. I'm going to be experimenting with the theory of I read about while doing some research on Bill Starr's 5x5. For two weeks I'm going to be loading, doing 2push/2pull workout per week. The third week will be the deloading phase of just 1 pull and 1 push workout that week. I will do 2 cycles of this (6 weeks), depending on what I accomplish will determine what I do next.
I hope to add 5lbs each week to the main upper body compound lifts, and 10lbs to the lower body ones. For the main compound movements I will use a rep range of 3-6 to concentrate on strength, and 8-12 on the isolation exercises. Legs will be done on pull days.
As of this morning I weigh 192, and I want to drop some fat so HIIT running will be done probally twice a week. I hope to be around 180 in 6 weeks (2lbs/week)
The routine will probally be set up as:
Loading
Mon.-Push
Tues.-Pull
Wed.-Rest
Thurs.-Push
Fri.-Pull
Sat.-Rest(HIIT)
Sun.-Rest(HIIT)
Any comments, advice, etc. is appreciated.
