New to Bodybuilding, Looking For A Little Help

[Hyperion77]

I am in the US Navy and have to do a 3x per week PT with my command. This kind of messes up my routine of wanting a 6 day workout plan. The PT sessions consist of mainly calisthenics and a 1.5 mile run. The problem with it is it focuses on endurance and not on strength building.

My original workout plan was going to be:

Monday
Chest, Tri's, Delts

Tuesday
Bi's, Forearms, Back

Wednesday
Legs

Thursday - Saturday
Repeat the cycle

Sunday
Rest

Now with this 3x per week workout the Navy is making me do, it kind of throws a monkey wrench into that. My question is... in order to work around this, what would be a good workout plan? I only have to endure this for another 10 weeks, and I will be able to move to my original workout plan. My idea would be to split it up to this:

Monday
Navy PT

Tuesday
Upperbody

Wednesday
Navy PT

Thursday
Upperbody

Friday
Navy PT

Saturday
Legs

The reason why I would only work the legs one good time a week is because on the Navy PT days, we focus on leg exercises and running. I would be able to do a upperbody strength workout twice a week and still get a good leg workout at least once a week. Does this idea sound like it would be ok for just 10 weeks?

Twice a week:
Full body w/o for the next 10 weeks;
1. squats
2. bench
3. deads
4. Military press
5. Rows

You can add some arm work on Saturday. At least it keeps you hitting the core exercises and you can adjust the intensity depending on your energy level that day.

The way you have it is fine.

You might be interested in Westside for Skinny Bastards. It is a good periodization routine meant for athletes who supplement lifting with sport-specific training. Given your Navy routine, it might be a good one for you.
