does anyone else think the shot of the dudes abs to the right looks like an elephants face?

the nipple is the eye

the left ab wall is the trunk

the serratus is the ear

and the rib things are the tusk

I’d just like to point out how much more your post contributed to this thread than mine.

You also pointed out that you are a bit of a tool.

  1. Looks like Saturday is a wasted day for you as far as gaining size goes. Oly lifts, as a rule, are NOT the fastest way to get big. Neither is rotator cuff work.

  2. Tuesday seems like too much. Squats and bench… AND power cleans, AND deadlifts, AND dips?

  3. If I were you, I’d just do something like Madcow/Bill Starr’s 5x5, to be honest. I’m sure there’s also plenty of 3-a-week strength plans on this website.

I´d revise this
Is there a particular reason you want to do the oly lifts?
Your Tuesday session has too much lumped together for consistent progression IMO, then you train your grip the day before you train back, which isn´t ideal

I you only want to train 3 days a week, try a two-way split

Just a few thoughts I had when I saw your routine

I’ve been training for nearly 3 years now. Tried a lot of different routines and found volume is what gets me the best response in terms of lean mass growth. The above is just my 12 week change up routine. Typically I will hit 5 days a week in the gym and have the following set ranges:

Chest - 20
Back - 25
Legs - 30
Shoulders & Abs - 15 & 10
Biceps & triceps - 12 to 15 each

13

Sure - why not?

Right now, it’s this -

Day 1 - Chest/Tri’s
1)Flat Barbell BP 5x5
2)Incline Dumbbell Press 5x5
3)Close Grip BP 5x5
4)Skull Crushers 5x5

Day 2 - Back/Bi’s/Rear delts
1)Barbell Rows 5x5
2)Dumbell rows (bench supported)5x5
3)Rear delt dumbbell raises 5x5
4)Barbell curls 5x5 (I generally add a drop set at the end)
5)Dumbbell hammer curls 5x5

Day 3 - Legs
1)Barbell Squats 5x5
or (usually alternating weeks)
Machine squats 5x5
2)Stiff-legged DL w/barbell 5x5
or
Deadlifts 5x5 (again, usually alternating weeks)
3)Calf raise - 3x15-20

Day 4 - Shoulders/Traps
1)Seated military BB press 5x5
2)Delt triad superset consisting of 3 sets of 12 - 15 reps. A)Seated dumbbell side raise/front raise/press x 3
3)Shrugs (bb or Db) 5x5

Sometimes I do more reps if I feel like it, so it’s not a strict 5x5 program, but for the most part that’s where it’s at for me at this time…

sadly i need some power work on saturdays or whenever i can get it done for my sport, if i didn’t have shoulder problems from time to time maybe i wouldnt do the rotator cuff work, squats and bench… AND power cleans, AND deadlifts, AND dips isn’t really too much. remember you are not me and your goals and methods don’t apply to me

18

Id have to kill you all…
