Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding
1

I’m coming off a 4 week GVT2000 program and looking to do something with greater intensity, less volume, and maximal strenght oriented. This is what I have so far, let me know what you think.

Monday -
2x4,3,2 - Bent Over Barbell Row
2x4,3,2 - Incline Bench Press
3x10 - Dumbbell Flies
3x10 - Lying Triceps Extensions

Tuesday -
2x4,3,2 - Front Squats
3x10 - Leg Extensions
3x10 - Seated Calf Raise

Thursday -
2x4,3,2 - Wide Grip Behind Neck Shoulder Press
2x4,3,2 - Weighted Pull-Ups
3x10 - Lateral Raises
3x10 - Standing Barbell Curls

Friday -
2x4,3,2 - Deadlift
3x10 - Leg Curls
3x10 - Shrugs

I’m worried the assistance exercises (anything that’s 3x10) might take the voume too high. Looking forward to seeing what you fellow T-Men think.

Amazing how I fooked up the formatting on that, and also how far down the pages a topic gets in just a few short hours (or 12, whatever). So let’s hear it! Rip into me, tell me what’s wrong, or compliment me, whatever.

front squat, leg curls
db bench, dbell row
db clean&press, chins
db curls, french press
put abs + calves where you like

I’m abig believer in radical changes in training methods. I’ve done GVT and GVT2000 a few times each. I’ve found that if after I complete GVT I use Mentzer’s HIT routine that has you woking out once every four days that with in 6 weeks I hi new strength levels in every lift.

well??

Going for maximal strength? Drop the flies. Why does everyone insist on doing flies? Unless you’re sculpting, they do nothing. Naaaathiiiinnng!
