I do lifts based around the westside barbell lifting. My regime is generally:
Squats/Shoulders Heavy Day (x3 reps)
Rest day x 2
Chest/tris light day (x8 reps) + (shoulders or calves or biceps)
Back/Bicep day (x8 reps)
Rest Day
Chest/Tris heavy (x3 Reps)
Week 2
I then reverse it so that I do
Back/Bicep Heavy Day (x3 reps)
Chest/Tris Heavy Day (x3 reps) + (shoulders or calves or biceps)
Rest day x 2
Squats/Shoulders Heavy day (x3)
Rest day
Chest/Tris + + (shoulders or calves or biceps)
-----------------
I try to have a big gap after squatting as my legs ache for a long time. The reason I try and train the smaller muscles like biceps twice a week as they have quicker recovery time. With this regime my bench press goes up a lot quicker than sqautting or deadlifting. Also on back days I sometimes do cleans.
However any suggestions to improve this regime would be appreciated.
Thank you.
