Have any of you guys tried this workout?
Monday and Thursday
Chest
Bench press
Incline press
Pullovers
Back
Chin-ups (4 sets until failure)
Bent-over rows
Deadlifts (3 sets x 10/6/4)
Abs
Leg raises (5 sets of 25 reps)
Tuesday and Friday
Shoulders
Clean and press
Lateral raises
Heavy upright rows
Push press
Arms
Barbell curls
Narrow-grip bench press
Barbell triceps extensions
Forearms
Wrist curls
Reverse wrist curls
Abs
Sit-ups (5 sets x 25)
Wednesday and Saturday
Thighs
Squats
Lunges
Leg curls
Calves
Standing calf raises (5 x 15)
Lower back
Stiff-leg Deadlifts (3 x 10/6/4)
Good mornings (3 x 10/6/4)
Abs
Leg raises (5 x 25)
It seems like a lot, especially 6 days in the gym. It'll be hard for me to get into the gym 6 times a week but if this shit works I'll definitely try it out.
I was also considering starting the strong lift's 5x5 program. For a beginner would that be a better place to start?
thanks in advance for the help!
