Help Me Design a New Weight Routine. Here's what I got...
I'm ready to graduate to the next level of weightlifting. I've truly developed a love for the gym, now I want to go to the next level....
Quick background-- March 1, 2003 I weighed 287, 40% bodyfat, benched the bar with no weights. Dec 1, 2003 I weigh 239, 28% bodyfat, bench 225. I hope these growth stats give you an idea where I'm at. I've been going to the gym 5 days a week all this time. Oh yeah, I'm 5'11".
Here's the new routine I have in mind. Since I'm going to focus on each muscle just once a week instead of twice, I've split my normal daily workouts into two days, and added variety. What am I missing? What do you suggest? Different groupings? More reps? Less reps?
There are lot of knowledgeable people on here. I hope you'll help (cough plan9 cough).
