I’m fairly new to training (only been doing it for half a year, on and off) and my goals are to get leaner, stronger and also fitter for rugby. I’m also trying to increase my push ups, deadlift, squat and bench but I train at home and I don’t have a bench and rack yet for another month. I only have olympic barbell and dumbells with 300lbs worth of plates and a pull up bar so that’s what I based my routine on.
Here’s a routine I’ve made which I thought would work for me:
Friday :
Back
*Deadlifts
*Pull ups
*Bent over barbell rows
*Bent over two-arm long bar rows
Abs
Saturday :
Push ups
Triceps
*Dumbell one-arm triceps extension
*Dumbell seated triceps press
*Diamond push ups
Cardio
Sunday :
Rest
Monday :
Biceps
*Close grip pull ups
*Bicep curls and/or Hammer curls
*Barbell bicep curls
*Concentrated curls
Cardio
Tuesday :
Shoulders
*Push ups
*Standing Barbell shoulder press
*Shoulder lateral raises
Squats (only up to 40kg for about 15-20x)
Wednesday :
Grip
*Pull ups
*Deadlift holds
*Farmerâ??s walk with dumbells covered with towels
Abs/Cardio
Thursday :
Push ups
Rest
I’m planning to do this routine for about a month until I get a bench + rack to incorporate more exercises.
What do you guys think? Anything I can do to better this routine?
