Noticed that there are a lot of the posters have their routines posted here and there. Let's consolidate them to a thread shall we? Please contribute your routines along with exercises, sets and reps done and why you're doing it that way. Will write my current gvt and normal routine once I get back from work. Sucks to write on a phone.

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2055193 mine is this

That routine has been drastically altered compared to what I do now. It's still a solid one though but not mine, it was a template of Hola Bola's routine from bb.com. He liked to incorporate low reps heavy weight, moderate reps moderately heavy weight and high reps moderately light weight/pump set into every workout.
I do something extremely different now.

Today was....
Back:-
Weighted chin ups 3 x 3-6

Weighted wide grip pullups 3 x 3-6

Weighted hammer chins 3 x 3-6

If I have more energy I add in:-
Rope rows 3 x 3-6

yeah guessed as much, it WAS 5 years ago when the thread was pinned up. figured we could get more info for the newbies who ask for routines if everyone contributed something.

Now workouts per bodypart is 20-25 mins. It takes longer sometimes cos i rest like 2-3 mins between sets. Imma lazy bum. Lol.

Dark, sounds a lot like y3t

my routine pretty much derived from Lee Priest when he is in his heyday... now more toward Jay's routine when he first got his title...

would really save a lot of people a lot of work if you just listed it down instead..

Jay's workout is a lot of high volume work . Very high volume work between 8 - 12 reps. 3 - 4 sets.

hahaha, ok ok, sorry brah, will post later

I am doing high volume training
Guess pretty same like alpha..
Total 20-25 sets to a body part then rest a week
I just eat

What is y3t?

Neil Hill- Flex Lewis trainer

http://gasparinutrition.co.uk/y3t-training.html

Try dorian yates blood and gut, i feel his chest exercise is the best.
meaning

For incline do DB press,
decline use BB press
flat use flyes,

warm up set are always 10-12 reps for me,
then with moderate intensity @ 10-12 reps
and failure in 6-8 reps.

din know it is y3t. Kris Gethin from bb.com keep referring it to yt3 (when he was training with neil hill)

anyway, currently trying out Kris Gethin's 12 week program. shoulder day today:

Smith machine shoulder press 3x10
lateral raises 4x10 (1 drop set every sets)
Smith machine shrug 3x20
Machine rear raises 7x15 + partial reps until failure (FST7)
Cardio 25 minutes

Sorry not an experienced builder here, just wondering , if these are my workout schedule :


Workout A
-------------
3x10 Squats
3x10 benchpress
3x10 Bent over DB rows
2x10 deadlift
3x10 Barbell curl

Workout B
----------------
3x10 Squats
3x10 DB shoulder press
3x10 Stiff leg deadlift
3x10 Standing tricep extension
3x10 45 degree weighted situp
3x10 hyper extension

3 days a week,

would doing these will be counter productive?
---------------------------------

-squats every workout session (is a day gap enough for recovery? what about other muscle groups? Deadlifts?)

-Doing bench press and Bent over DB rows on the same day (chest and back muscle on the same day, recommended?)

-one more question is, is there any other alternative to weighted sit ups and hyper extension? like crunches with weights?

sorry if im doing something wrong here, just curious :S. Thanks in advance!

Chest
Flat BB bench
Incline DB
Hammer-strength chest press

V-bar rows/BB rows
V-bar/underhand pulldowns

Abs are an as-and-when kinda thing and are usually crunches+knee raises or leg raises.

Oh crap my bad, forgot to add. Generally 4-6 sets per exercise in the 8-12 rep ranges. For the compounds like bench and squats, I may go up to 6-8 sets and stay in the 5-10 rep range.

"Do this routine instead of that routine" or something like that. Loose enough for me to put exercises i like into the template, but structured enough i guess.
