| Registered User  |  Critique Workout please i am finding that as i am getting stronger 3 bodyparts n 1 session is becoming too much, @ the intensity level that i operate @. bear w/ me while i get it all on the screen. i wanna c what yall have 2 say about this change. this has been my current workout mon- legs/calves tue- rest wed- chest delts tri's calves thur- rest friday- back biceps calves sat- rest sun- rest on wed, by the time i get 2 triceps i am bout cooked. this is what i am considering starting on monday mon- legs/calves tue- chest biceps calves wed- rest thur- back calves fri- delts tri's calves sat- rest sun- rest here is the actual ex-sets-reps legs SQUATS 8^) 2 warm ups 2x failure (8) leg extensions 1 triple drop set 2 failure leg curls 1 triple drop set 2 failure leg press 1 triple drop set 2 failure calves calve press 1 triple drop set 2 failure (same 4 q day + seated prn) chest bench press 2 warm ups 2 x failure(6) incline d/b press 2 x failure (6-8) machine press 1 x triple drop set 2 failure biceps alternate d/b curls 1 long a$$ painful triple drop set 2 failure back deadlift 3 warm up sets & 1 x failure (5-6) up 2 515lbs 8^) pulldowns 2 chest (parallel grip) 1 triple drop set 2 failure lat pulldown behind neck (wide grip) 1 triple drop set 2 failure delts power cleans 2x failure (5-7) seated d/b press 2 x failure (6) smith machine shrugs 2 x failure (8-10) d/b side laterals 1 triple drop set 2 failure (my favorite) triceps head bangers 2 x failure (8) close grip bench (cambered bar) 2 x failure (8) pushdowns 1 triple drop set 2 failure my logic is this. even though i am going from 3 to 4 days/week i believe that while i am decreasing the volume i am increasing the intensity. i don't think rest will b an issue. i'm gonna try it 4 next week, but would like your opinion. thanks 4 the time. |

| Freakish | it looks good bro, have you ever considered working each bodypart 2X/wk. If youa re aiming for growth, most literature would say aim for 8-12 reps , 3-4 sets /body part with 60-90seconds rest periods between sets. This way, you can really add a lot of volume to your training, hit muscle groups from all different angles. Considered playing around with tempo at all? |

| Gone gone gone | If things are grinding to a halt for you bro, it looks to me like it would be CNS overtraining. Those triple drop sets are brutal on the CNS. I would suggest switching to volume for a bit, just to switch it up. I personally love German Volume Training, but I have heard a few good things about HST training as well. |

| Registered User  | For sure War. I am such a firm believer in cycling your training routines. I too love GVT and use it at least 2 times a year for at least 6 weeks. I am currently having the best training of my life pushing through to levels of intenisity I have never had and progressing quite well. I have implemented some new training techniques that are really helping. When you hit the wall get creative, there is so many ways to demolish a muscle!  PerfectMass |
