push pull

[jspillane08]

Thinking about trying a push pull routine. Its kind of based on training for athletes with not a whole bunch of iso workouts. Im pretty sure its predicated on that mens health article a year ago with that dod romero guy or whatever his name is.

day 1 chest- bench press, incline db press
tris- dips, kickbacks
shoulders- standing alt db press, plate front raise
legs- lunges and leg presses
day 2- back0 pullups, barbell rows
biceps, hammer curls, incline curls
traps- shrugs
abs on both day in the form of leg raises and barbell rollouts

day 3- cardio
day4- repeat 1
day 5- reapeat day 2
day 6 and 7 rest.

8-10 reps. Question is can I who am I ectomorph continue to build muscle on this routine. I want to stay lean and look asthetic but not skinny. Can this work or do I most likley need more stimulation in the form of a traditional bodybuilding program. thanks in advance

That should be fine. Different people respond to different training styles. Do this routine for 4-6 weeks, if your progresing, keep at it, if you've peaked, change it up. ~~freq-out~~~

I dig the push pull, and have had great results. I run something like this:

chest/back
bi's/tri's
legs/shoulders

change the reps/weights.

lighter 10-10
medium 12-8
heavy 8-8
heaviest 6-6
