    Overall athletic development workout

    what do you guys think of my workout? 2-3 times a week

    Bench Press 4x8-10
    Military Press4x8-10
    Pull Ups4x8-10
    Dips4x8-10
    T-Bar Rows4x8-10
    Leg Press5x8-10
    Hack Squat5x8-10

    i just want to build overall power and body size to become a better athlete overall. the lack of direct work for muscles such as biceps, triceps, and traps hsouldnt matter much should it?

    i have severe tendonitis in my knee so regular barbell squats arent an option. and there is no where in my gym to do power cleans or deads. i know it would be better if i could do these, but my routine will still produce an athletic looking build right? also could someone answer my question about the no direct arm work?

    hmm..

    tendonitis...
    i guess that rules out lunges too
    stiff legged deadlifts and stretch deadlifts should be ok, i think...
    think dynamic movements
    like plyometric pushups, do some stuff outside
    push your car, pull a sled, etc...be creative
    think like a machine

    Your set/rep scheme needs to be adjusted if one of your goals is to develop power. 4x8-10 is more of a bodybuilding workout than an athlete's workout. Drop the number of reps and raise the weight being used.
