Hi guys,
With one week left on the Jim Stopani 12 weeks "Shortcut to size", I made myself a new workout to continue while hopefully "upping" the intensity/progress. I would like to know what you think about it. I based it on Jim's workout and this one I was advised to use: http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/4-day-power-muscle-burn-workout-split.html
So here it goes, questions are after:
Monday: Chest and Back (+ Abs workout #1 at the gym)
A1 Barbell/Dumbell Bench Press 4x 6-8
B1 Incline Dumbell Bench Press 3x 10-12
B2 Dumbell Flies 3x 12-15
C1 High Cable Crossovers 3x 10-12
C2 Low Cable Crossovers 3x 10-12
A1 Deadlift 4x 6-8
B1 Seated Cable Row 3x 10-12
B2 Front Lats Pulldown 3x 10-12
C1 Leverage High Row 2x 12-15
Tuesday: Biceps and Triceps
A1 Incline Dumbell Hammer Curls 3x 10-12
B1 Close-grip Bench Press 3x 10-12
B2 Zottman Curls 3x10-12
C1 Cable Tricep Pressdown 4x 6-8 (2Nrm + 2Rev)
C2 Cable Biceps Curls 4x 6-8 (2Nrm + 2Rev)
D1 Skullcrushers 3x 10-12
D2 Preacher Curls 3x 10-12
E1 Standing Cable Tricep Extensions 3x 10-12
Wednesday: Rest Day (+Abs workout #2 at home)
20min Jumping Rope (HIIT)
30-45min Running/Jogging
Thursday Shoulders + Calves
A1 Standing Military Press 4x 6-8
A2 Side Lats to Front Raise 4x 10-12
B1 Reverse Flies 3x 10-12
B2 Standing Barbell Upright Rows 3x 10-12
C1 Cable/Machine Shrugs 3x 12-15
A1 Standing Calves Raise 4x 20-25
B1 Seated Calves Raise 3x 12-15
Friday Legs + Upper body compounds (+ Abs workout #1 at gym)
A1 Barbell Squat 4x 6-8
B1 Leg Extensions 3x 10-12
B2 Standing Leg Curls 3x 10-12
C1 Deadlifts 4x 6-8
A1 Dip Triceps Ver. 2x 10-12
B1 Pullups 2x 10-12
C1 Machine Bench Press 4x 10-12
Saturday and Sunday are rest days.
NOTE: Will be done in Supersets every 2 weeks. (A1 is superset with A2...etc)
1. Too much? I did use the exercice that I liked the most while working the most IMO. General inputs? It's my first time doing this so every HELPFUL inputs are welcome. I think I follow the same "pattern" as Jim, while upping the intensity using the idea of the other one, and supersets.
2. Or should I just stick to Jim's workout? http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/shortcut-to-size.html I like it, except I would change some exercices that I don't like.
Thanks in advance.
