More of a BB routine here. But I do get my Soccer practice and Games in once a week. I break it up into the "traditional" body part split. Every 8-12 weeks I change. This rotation I am working on size. In 3 weeks I am starting my explosive routine. After that is Strength. Although this goes against some of the basic rules of overload and training. This has worked for me for 3 years now and I have never been as strong. Every one is different and what works for you may not work for me.

General Rules.
Heavy as possible on the main lifts of the day. Try and keep rest at 30sec to 1 min max. Except leg day. Then we go as high as 5-6 mins of rest.
This is a sample. Every week the supporting exercises change. But the main lifts stay the same to keep the strength curve going.
NEPA is Non Exercise Physical Activity
This looks like a lot of exercises but, I am usually in and out of they gym in 45-1:15 (depending on the day) Leg day always takes longer. Least amount of movements. Most amount of recovery time. I seriously get nervous before leg day.
You will also see that I do Bi's twice a week. While they are very strong, they don't look like much. So I need them to grow cause my Tri's look really funny with nothing balancing them out.
I may not be too smart, but I can lift heavy objects.
