Hey guys. Been lifting a while here, and gone from 6’0" 150 at 25 years old, up to about 170 now at 33. I think my ultimate goal is around 185 or so. My biggest problem is developing thickness – things look good from the front, but I still disappear when I turn sideways.
I’m working on the diet, and have started a food log. And I’m gearing up to start a new workout. I’ve been doing split routines for a while now, so I’m thinking of going back to a full body, basic workout. I hope someone can take a look at this and let me know how it looks.
I like simple, straightforward workouts with minimal thinking while I’m at the gym. I’m looking at 3 days a week, 4 sets each, 4-6 reps:
front squat
deadlift
clean and press
pull ups
dumbbell bench press
barbell rows
light cardio, rotator cuff work, and abs on 2 or 3 of the off days, and maybe some direct arm work on one off day (just because it’s fun). one day off entirely each week.
I’ve had some injuries to my knees and shoulders, so that’s figuring into my exercise selection. And I have to be very careful to keep my rotator cuff healthy.
anyone have any thoughts?
thanks guys.
