I have been doing a lot of reading on here as of lately and looking at most of the routines, or suggested routines i have begun to wonder if im not getting the most out of my training. It seems like everyone on here believes compound full body sets are alot more productive. Is there just more power lifting on here over bodybuilding?
I started lifting 3 years ago seriously and lived by The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding, obvi by Arnold. Since i have read it twice and the first two years of lifting i basically used his beginner and advanced programs. I put on about 30lbs and probably lost around 15lbs of fat. After i started figuring out my body i realized that you pretty much need gear on a regular basis to keep up with the 2 day split workouts. I have been adjusting my rountine a lot this past year and experimenting with routines off line and mixing in stuff i thought worked best.
I have started my first cycle of havoc about 10 days ago and really want to get the most out of it so i was wondering if there is a better routine than what i have come up with or it sounds good. Again my goals are based on bodybuilding, not powerlifting at the moment, i want to bring out the full development of each muscle, critiques are appreciated, thanks!
