Alright, I am trying to set myself up with a program and have come up with 2 differant ones. I dont know which is the best the for what I want though and any help and advice would be appreciated. I am just looking at building strength, right now that is all I am going for. Right now I am 6 foot 255 lbs, and 23 years old. The first program i was looking at was a 3 day split.
Mondays
chest and back
inclined DB bench 3x8
DB bench 3x8
machine incline 3x8
fly’s 3x12
wide grip lat pull down 3x8
cable rows wide grip 3x8
single arm db rows 3x8
upright rows 3x8
chinups/dips as many as possible (assisted)
Wensday
shoulder and arms
military db press 3x8
foward raises 3x8
side raises 3x8
hammer curls 3x8
preacher curls 3x8
laying tri-extrenions 3x8
close reverse grip benchpress 3x to exhaustion
Friday
Legs
Squat 3x8
Leg press 3x8
leg curls 3x8
calf raises 3x8
The other program I am thinking of doing is all the same exercies as the 3 day but split to 5 days where each day has its own exercies and set like this:
monday=chest
tuesday=back
wensday=shoulders
thursday=arms
friday=legs
and on everyday except legs days 30 minutes of cardio. I am just starting out, I have been going to the gym for about 6 months without any real plan and now I want to get serious about. Any adivce on the program(s) or the exerices would be appreciated.
Thankx
