New Workout

[millerba]

My growth and strength has really hit a plateau the past couple of months. Looking for a good 8 week workout to add mass and strenght. I am currently working out 6 X week with the following.

Monday - Chest
Tuesday - Back
Wednesday - Shoulders and Traps
Thursday - Arms
Friday - Quads
Saturday - Hamstrings, Forearms and Calves

I change it up with a couple of heavy weeks w/ low reps and then a week w/ high reps and lighter weights.

Looking for some recommendations.

Thanks

Not bad bro, but if you want to try something new, then check the "Rate my training programme" thread, which is 9 threads above yours. Check the attachment out, it's one of my gym programmes, it's quite intense, so it's done 3x a week, so a weeks' work-out is extended to two weeks. Therefore, you give the muscle two weeks to recover, due to the extreme work-out. If you are willing to take this approach, I suggest, you discuss this with a gym instructor or personal trainer, or a Medical practitioner or your local doctor; because it's an advance programme; if done wrongly, then you might injury yourself quite badly. Hope this helps.

Seek medical advice before taking this programme; you are liable if you decide to take this programme. The sole-owner of this training programme is at no fault responsible for your actions, that is if you persist and do it. Before taking this programme abroad, it is vital, that you see a medical practitioner, I urge you to do so, as you may result in injury. This programme is for medium to advanced bodybuilders or for serious trainers. This is a mass-toning building programme. Good luck on your journey for a better new and healthy life style.

The one recommendation I would make is to not necessarily have a light week/heavy week. I've found that it's better to mix the two within one workout, especially since you're training each body part just once per week. Ex: do DB presses heavy (5x5) then do incline BB presses medium 3 x 8 then flyes light 2(or3) x 15. I've stength to improve better this way.

Try both, though, and keep good records and see which you like and works best for you - just sharing my experience.
