My routine....double check me please!

If I were in your shoes and wanted to weight train 4 x/week.... I'd suggest this:

Monday: Heavy horizontal press/pull, Light vertical press/pull

Tuesday: Legs

Thursday: Heavy vertical press/pull, Light horizontal press/pull

Friday: Legs

This might translate into something like this:

Monday:

Flat Bench 3x5
BB Row 3x5

DB Overhead Press 3x12

Lat Pulldowns (supinated grip) 3x12

Any accessory stuff you want to throw in at the end (abs, arms, etc)

Tuesday:

Squats 3x5

Romanian Deadlifts 3x8

Lunges 2x12

Leg Curls 2x8

Wednesday: OFF

Thursday:


Standing Overhead BB Press 3x5
Pulldowns (pronated grip) 3x5

Incline DB Chest Press 2x12
Flat DB Flys 2x12

Cable Rows 2x10

Friday:


Conventional Deads 3x5

Front Squats or Leg Presses (feet in low position) 3x10

Step-ups 1x10
Reverse Lunge 1x10
Lying Leg Curls (toes points) 1x10


* you can add accessory work wherever you want as long as it's kept to a minimum

** exercises that have no spacing between one another are done in superset fashion

This is simply an idea of what I'd be doing. Certainly not set in stone.
