this is not my routine, help me give this poor kid some advice, he does a 3x a week full body routine with each day looking similar to this:
he also says he carbloads 400-500 grams of carbs about 4 hours preworkout.
Here’s what I did on Friday. I’ll phase out some lifts and add others in. I do a one rep max followed by 80% of that weight in the next set for most lifts: … Military Press: 170 X 1, 135 X 9
Bench Press: 235 X 2, 185 X 8
Pec Flies: 295 X 7
Reverse Lateral Raises: 170 X 1, 145 X 10

Cable Pull Downs Wide Grip: 150 X 1, 120 X 8 (will go down to 140 next week, not feeling it enough in the upper back)
Arm Curls: 115 X 1 (cheated a little bit, failed on the noncheating lift), 85 X 5 (no cheating, didn’t cheat on wednesdays 110 either) I haven’t cheated on this lift in 6 years
Standing Barbell Tricep Extensions: 70 X 12 will switch to rolling dumbell tricep extensions

Side Lateral Raises: 20 X 10
Side Lateral Raises variation: 20 X 12
Upright Rows: 100 X 1, 80 X 5

Sitting Reverse Wrist Curls: 20 X 10 each arm
Behind the Back Cable Wrist Curls: 150 X 20
Squat: 225 X 7 (gradually working my way up to this one, not going to failure)
Leg Extensions: 250 X 1, 190 X 8

Assuming that’s seriously the guy’s “routine” (i.e. he went in with a plan to do that), I offer speculation about the theory underlying this routine: balls out one set to elicit a growth response (…with the one rep) then exhaust the muscle with…one more set that’s higher in reps?
did he say 6 years??? this is a routine of someone working out for 6 years??? but hey at least he squats and if he cuts about 30 exercises he has a good program going on there.
i mean seriously i want to give this guy good advice but the only thing that comes to mind is he needs to fuck everything he knows about lifting and start from scratch with a begginner routine, i mean really what do you say to someone like this whos been working out for 6 years

I heard it only works with pop-tart nutrition for recovery.[/quote]
Exactly, but the real trick is to blend up several poptarts with some Mag-10 and sip it throughout the session. Truly peri-WO nutrition at it’s tastiest

Send him yours?[/quote]
the place where im going (a facebook page about lifting) is full of people that dont believe in increasing frequency and i dont want to reccomend my new routine to anyone yet because its only been like a week in and id hate for people to get shyt results from it and be mad at me haha
although with my new routine my waist size stayed the same my chest/back circumfrence increased about a quarter inch and my arms increased an eighth of an inch each (maybe its waterweight or something? since its been only a week?)
