Ok so your main goal is strength but your going to do that many isolation exercises at reps that high? You wont be gaining much of anything like that.

You want a good full body routine that wont...

Thank you. My goal is strength. I'm not really concerned with size. 3 reps from my understanding is optimal for strength but I might consider doing 5 sets of it. It just seems I'd be in there for...

Adding a yoga routine to what your doing is also a good idea. It does wonders for ones posture.

Be careful you dont workout to much. Muscle grows while you rest not while your working out. However if what your looking for is strength then Starting Strength or another of the sticky routines.

Hello everyone. I'm about to come off my semester long DB workout. I've gotten alot stronger and I feel ready to begin work with a barbell. Here is the program I made. Please tell me your opinions on...

If what your looking for is strength then concentrate on the primary lifts: Deadlift, Squat, Bench Press, Military Press, and Bentover Rows (or pullups). 2-3 sets of these at 3-8 reps is all you...

You can get very strong with bodyweight only exercises. To do it though you must do progressively harder versions of the exercise as your weight will stay relatively stable. For example you could...

Bump.

Well that depends on your goals. You might find it easier to do a push/pull split if your immediately coming off a full body routine.

Bump again. Surely you guys must have some thoughts on this?

Your best bet is to get p90x or something similar and do that so that you have a high base level of fitness. Then you should do one of the myriad of beginner workout programs in the stickies.

Ok so I ran across this on exrx.net and wanted to get people's opinions on it. I'll list the exercises and splits first then list the progression charts. Those exercises that have a parenthesis are...

To be perfectly honest I've never been able to find workouts on crossfit. I assumed from what I've heard of them that they post a video every day of the workout.

Consider getting p90x
