modified 4 day routine, what do you think?

[Future Prodigy]

I was doing a 3 day football strength routine and I really liked the success I was getting off it, but I needed to swithc thigns up because I have done it for a couple months now. I took the standard 4 day bb routine and added a bit of variance to it. Whats your guys opinions on this? Im lookin mainly for strength, and i know 4 day routines arent the best but I was running a 3 day all summer so thought id switch it up.

You dont think i'd be better off modifiying it a bit more to suit strength gains? I dont liek 4 day routines as much but figure I'd try it out. Is there anything I should change? reps, sets, etc!

p.s. abs once a week seems so little compaired to the 3x a week i was doin before, plus the ones i had to do at wrestlign practice.

its all trial and error. try this routine for a while and see what works and what doesnt. personally I like it. but I found I do better with a 3 day routine. it took me a while of T/E to figure it out.

 

[AngryMuscles]

try routines....
at the long run, you'll modify it...
try again
then change a bit..
then try again..
it never ends

Looks Good Very Good Exercise Selection. Big Compund moves and you're squatting and deadlifting. Should work well..

 

[evansss]

solid workout, you'll bulk up with this one.
