i was gonna run this system for 6 weeks then change it up: lookng for strength and more musclurarity while shredding fat (like who here isn't huh???). what do you guys think? also too add to this i havent lifted or really exercised in about 3 months, so i'm a lil weaker than i was but my over all goal is to put up 225 on my bench for reps and to start repin my squat with 300 plus. i used a mix of 5x5, a routine i read about called 5/10/20 and another routine called the "davis set". i explain the latter two in the routine i posted too.
day1:
10 min warm up cardio
chest:
i used the 5x5 sytem here
flat bench-5x5 starting with 185
incline db press-2x10
incline cable press-2x10
bi's:
this is a 5/10/20 system here: its kinda like a super set, in that you go from one exercise to the next no rest till you finish all the exercises. the idea is to do 2-4 sets or more if you some sorta liftin god...
e-z bar rev curl: 2x5 starting with 2 sets by end of 6 weeks hope to be around 4 sets.
incline db curls: 2x10
full range db curls: 2x20
