The rest of the post was good but just a small thing about this part, just a comment.
Trying to create a routine ACCORDING to certain labels is a horrible idea. A routine should be made to hit each bodypart in a calculated manner. The label should be applied AFTER the split and exercises have been selected.
There is no magic in the terms “push” and “pull” or “tbt”. Theyre titles. Like the title of a book. You dont title an essay before you write it. You have an idea what you want to create, you create it, then you label it for easy reference.

True, the exercises in the OP’s routine were selected just to fit a simple template, and should definetely be the other way around, just choosing exercises that will… ooh, I like your wording, “hit each bodypart in a calculated manner.”
I just figured there was some significance in labeling PUSH and PULL.

Calm down. No one is calling you stupid or anything. The routine just sucks. Excuse me if I said “your routine” when it’s someone elses. Dont take it personal.
Id recommend a yates 3 way split.
Google it for specifics. Do it 4-5 days a week.
Train your arms.
Something along the lines of
chest/back
arms/delts
legs
would be ok. Throw in ab work where you see fit.

Hey Bonez. I like the split you suggested and was wondering what the chest and back day would look like in terms of set-up, number of exercises, etc. I’m not asking for an exact list of exercises and rep ranges but a general out line of how you would set that up. Sorry for the trouble. And btw, sorry for the hijack op.
I’m considering doing Mark Rippetoe’s starting strength routine. Opinions?

I think that you’re arrogant and you like programs from dumb, scrawny people and turn down advice from guys bigger and more knowledgeable than you…
oh, you meant you wanted opinions on doing SS?
Grading system: pass (P) or fail (F)
The program is listed in the bodybuilding section.
The program does not follow the rules for bodybuilding program design set forth in the Bodybuilding Bible thread.
Grade: F

Zing!
I can’t find the Yates 3 way split. And no nikki, I’m not arrogant.
I really don’t want to encourage the hand-holding but…
I don’t really like Yates’ workout. I’d rather follow this instead.
Thanks for the help Nikki and everyone else. Please don’t think I’m an asshole =(

Of all the programs to choose as a beginner who never picked up a weight, you choose a program meant for people who have already built muscle and are looking to retain it while they loose fat?

NOOOOOO! Thats too easy! I need something complicated with a fancy name! I needz teh muscle confsion plus da creatinez to get hyooooge!
I didn’t realize it was that type of routine.
Do something simple to start.
3X10 for bench press, over head press, squat, pull up, and deadlifts.
3x15 for curls, pressdown etc.
After a month do 5X5 and 4X8 for a month.
After that you should be able to get a good understanding for what works for you.
I’m closing this thread now.
