workout routines

[aintfrreshazi]

hey everyone, i was just wondering what your workout routines are and if youve seen any gains in strength or size and how long it took you. my routine right now looks something like this...

Day 1- (arms/shoulders) preacher curls, skull crushers, alternating curls, tricep pulldowns, power cleans and arnold press.

Day 2- (legs) Squat, weighted calf raises, hamstring curls, and leg extensions.

Day 3 (chest/back) incline/flat/decline DB press, flies, seated row, and 1 arm rows.

first set is a heavy weight that i know i can only pull off 6-8 reps, seconds set i take weight off and go till failure, third set take more weight off and go till failure.

how long have you been doing that and have you seen a lot of gains from it?

how long have you been doing that and have you seen a lot of gains from it?

For about 1.5 years. I like it because it fits my schedule and I recover well with it. I've been more focused on re-comping then gaining. Strength has been much better then with other traditional programs. My cousin did gain well (about 30 lbs. in 1.5 years) with it but he's also 19 and a lot could be attributed to newbie gains along with a good training and nutrition protocol.

wow 30lbs in 1.5 years is amazing, im still trying to decide what im gonna start doing for when i switch up routines in a few weeks. im deciding between pyramid, 5x5 and the push and pull thing that youre doing

[Iron Warrior]

The 30lbs weren't 100% muscle, I'd say 80-85% but it goes to show how much progress one can make when fully committed. Most of the times you'll get good results if you're eating right and getting enough rest as well.
