Hi, I started Westside for Skinny Bastards about two months ago. Since I started I rarely keep my routine the same from week to week. With the wealth of information available I always want to try new things. I want to post a sample of what I might do in a given week for critiques. Thanks
So far this week:
Monday MR upper body
10x3 bench 165lbs
3x10 incline dumbell press
superset 3x8 chins/dips
4x8 bent over barbell row 135lbs
3x8 barbell shrugs 155lbs
superset #2 3x8 chest supported hammer curls (lying face down on incline bench) and elbows out dumbell tricep press
dumbell Russian twists
Tuesday ME lowerbody
backsquats up to max rep of 3
I stopped at 225
Legpress (I know but I’m tall and it helps) 6x4 4 plates
RDL 4x8 135lbs
superset calf raises/machine
Today = REST
Plans for rest of week
Thursday
ME upperbody
ME bench 3 reps I stopped at 175 (not having a spot sucks)
5x5 standing military press 95lbs
superset 3x8 chest supported row 50lb DBs and dumbell flies 25lb DBs
superset 4x6 zottoman curls/overhead tricep extension 27.5lb/52.5lb
Friday dynamic lowerbody
8x2 box squats
3x15 kneeling squats (hip extension exercise)
3x8 bulgarian split squats (unilateral)
superset
a. 3x8 barbell shrugs (neck)
b. 3x8 RDL (light and slow for grip and flexibility)
calf raises
circuit ab training
That’s pretty much it except I do some abs on my rest days. Also sometimes I do two ME lower body days and sometimes I do a dynamic day. This week I was going to do kneeling squats and box squats on Tuesday but I got to the gym and couldn’t find a box so I decided to do ME instead.
Also right now I am doing 10x3 on my MR upperbody next week 10x4 and the week after 10x5 hopefully using the same weight each week. I choose to do a 5x5 with that weight on my second upperbody day. After this three week program I will go back to regular WSSB template.
