this summer i want to go on a strength based routine but i need help in developing one.. ive started the madcow 5x5 routine but realized i wont be able to stick with all of it because i work out at my friends house and his rents dont allow deadlifting because its too loud (we work out in the morning) and theyre afraid of damage to the weights and/or the floor
all he has is a squat rack and bench, so dips and dumbell excercises (as well as deadlifts) are out of the question.
ive read about the 10x3 and played around with numbers and this is what ive come up with so far
monday:
bench 10x3
close grip bench 3x8
lat pulldowns 3x8
wednesday:
squat 10x3
military press 5x5
upright row 3x8
friday:
barbell row 10x3
lat pulldowns 3x8
bb curls 3x8
are there anything that should be changed thatll make this routine as effective as possible? any suggestions/changes will be welcome
