Hello all. Just saw a journal not too long ago and thought it was pretty good. I think i may use this routine that is based on what i saw.

It is a basic upper/lower workout (M,W,F)
It uses mostly compound lifts , with some accessory work where you see fit
It changes from "power" to "hyperstrophy".
It uses rep ranges of 4-6 and 10-12


Looks like this....

Workout 1
Upper - power (reps = 4-6)

Workout 2
Lower - power (reps = 4-6)

Workout 3
Upper - hypertrophy (reps = 10-12)

Workout 4

Lower - hypertrophy (reps = 10-12)

Workout 5
Upper - power (reps = 4-6)

Workout 6
Lower - Power (reps = 4-6)

etc....etc for another 2 weeks

After 4 weeks (which you have hit power reps 6x and hypertrophy reps 6x, you switch exercises, basically for a few reasons (boredom and muscle "confusion")

Anyone have opinions.

Personally I am not a big fan of muscle confusion. I don't agree with the theories behind it.

give it a go and report back, i used to do upper/lower (m,w,f split) for a while and it has merit, mix things up a bit and see how you go, report back your experience after 4 weeks

cheers
