Hey guys, I have been on a 4 day split that works most muscles twice a week for about 8 months now,
And I feel i have outgrown my ability to recover between days so I have pieced together a new routine inspired by Dorian Yate's training principles that hits each muscle group every 6 days,
Being a far less experienced lifter I have obviously made some changes, For example I use 2-3 max effort sets rather than one simply due to the fact that I can't hit the required intensity yet, in time I will lower the sets as i get more experienced and can hit the intensity I need, a consistant training partner will also help me lower the volume with spotting and assisted reps.
This Routine is aimed primarily at hypertrophy but will also be trying to keep fairly lean as its summer here so my diet is a clean bulk of around 5.5k cals a day
Starting today I will follow the following routine for at least 6months to try bust the platue I have hit.

Today felt pretty average before heading to gym, probably due to the insane bender in the weekend which left me still hungover at 9pm last night, so charged back a redbull and jsut got on with it, Chest was still a little fatigued from friday on the old routine and it reflected in the weights, hopefully feel better tomorow

Well it was interesting experience for me, I was previously doing my legs over two days, the intensity of today was something i was not used to and really pushed me, I should be able to add a fair bit of weight next week now that I have a feel for it.
Calves was crazy, I used to do one of each exercise on two days, both on the same day fried them, driving a manuel car home I was bunnyhopping everywhere and stalled three times from mad shakes in my calves haha!
I think I can comfortably go two max effort sets for legs, 3 took too long and I think i can hit the required intensity to pull off two,
Also im not sure about doing squats late in my set, It was good in the way that it took alot of strain off my lower back which is normally in alot of discomfort squatting, but I couldnt move anyware near the pounds I normally do,
My chest and Bi's have very severe DOMS from yesterday, something I havn't felt in awhile, im not looking forward to my legs tomorow and the next day >.<
Will report back tomorow after cardio day.
EDIT: Would anyone be interested in diet etc?Last edited by essential222; 12-08-2008 at 06:21 PM.

Was in a big rush today between working 8 hours labouring and into a 5 hour bar shift so had to cut workout short, will do one more set tris tomorow and calves with my cardio and abbs, I got a really good feel for how this style should be executed since I was in a rush, everything was damn intense and I had a very definite purpose to my workout, Next time should be able to move more weight, particularly shrugs, these annilated my traps though. I will definetly do seated shrugs over barbbell for as long as I have heavy enough DB's.
Got an insane pump this workout, my shoulders literally blew up, I don't like the cable raises, just can't seem to hit the lat head, I need to lock elbow in a bent position and lower wieght and go more reps to get a feel for it I think, Next time ill try Charles Glass's wide grip shoulder pull.Last edited by essential222; 12-12-2008 at 01:57 AM.

I also really wish I had a good training partner, Just makes it so much easier for the forced reps and means I dont need to rely on rest pause and negatives so much

-Reverse grip BB curls
2 x 6-8 (27.5kg)(last set rest pause +2-3)
Today I mixed my Bicep routine up a little to suit me a little more, I am definetly liking the two max effort sets now that I am getting the hang of it, really enjoy the fairly quick workouts, I rest far less between sets than I used to also. I decided to keep chest weight relatively similar to last weeks to really work on mind muscle connection as I still feel chest is lacking,
My Gym does not have any 22.5,27.5,32.5kg etc dumbbells which is prooving an annoyance, that is why I have 2 reps of 25 or 35 on some exercises, as IO get stronger I will increase them and decrease the lighter weight until im only doing them to make up for the lack of intermediate weights.***PMC - Where Amazing Happens***

all max effort for the most part....
I use a journal and I beat every set with either reps or weight. On big compound sets I up the weight once I get to around 12 reps or so..On smaller groups I go by feel.
So example leg extensions. Now last week was...
250 x 18
270 x 13
290 x 10
Now today I did ....
250 x 20
290 x 12
295 x 10

2 x 10-12 (280kg+sled)(Last set rest pause +2-3)

3 x 12-15 (110kg)(Last set rest pause +2-3)
-Seated Calves

Calves were still fatigued from having a days less rest and reflected in the weights but I wanted to get back onto the normal routine, went for two sets of max effort this time, I upped the weights slightly from last week but could still go a bit heavier to reflect the dropped max effort set, still getting a feel for it, Im absolutely ruined as I write this chugging my protein+creatine shake, calves are shaking still haha
Still feels like I might need another quad exercise, would it be beneficial to do a max effort set of fronts after back squats? My gym has nothing to do hack squats on otherwise I would do them, im happy doing 2 exercises for Hams since deads on back day ruins themLast edited by essential222; 12-14-2008 at 09:07 PM.

WOW! Felt absolutely awesome today, massive pumps and this is the workout I will stick to in that order felt freakn awesome, great MMC throughout and the new straps that came today were awesome, biceps much less utilised, as a note I did rack pulls over deads today because my legs are still fried, I can pull more on deads as oppose to what most people tell me should happen, which leads me to believe I have strong glutes and hams and weak lower back as I gain alot of momentum in the middle range of the pull, however next week I will go back to them I think.
Awesome workout, can't wait for shoulders tomorow
EDIT: Does anyone else find you get a bigger pump on high carb days, today I was at ~600 pre gym and felt great***PMC - Where Amazing Happens***

Pretty good day today, upped most weights or reps, huge day at work, 8 hours building, quick gym sesh then into a 5.5 hour bar shift, regardless nutrition was pretty good throughtout the day, im gonna up carbs a few hundred grams and cals 500 on days like these to account for the exercise,
The wider grip upright rows really fried my lateral delts and were great, cheers Charles Glass for enlightening me, I will use them over cable lat raises, or maybe do one set cables at end to fry them.
I will also stop being lazy and keep posting the gains in red so its easier to see from this point on***PMC - Where Amazing Happens***

-Incline DB curls
2 x 8 (12.5kg)+2.5kg
Good day today, woke up late and gym closes just after lunch so had less than ideal pre workout nutrition (2 eggs, two wholemeal toast and a shake + banana).
Despite this Still improved in most areas, definetly finally feeling chest working and comming up to the point it should be, its pretty obvious I was over training it in my old routine also, legs tomorow, see you then***PMC - Where Amazing Happens***
