Kudos..
The BGB routine is easily the most effective one I have used. I modified it to the 5x5 format and it works like a charm. Not only am I getting a lot better weights from back lifts but my BB Bench is starting to move nicely ws well.
Great job Built. |

built, how often would you suggest the exercises be rotated? i'm planning things and am wondering because my gym has limited equipment..
out of the back exercises i can only do bent BB rows, seated cable rows, DB rows, lat pulldowns and pullovers  |

Jumping chinups are probably better than assisted anyway. Stand on a box/chair so that you can comfortably grip the bar with a flat foot. Then jump/pull at the same time. Sounds like an easy cheat, but you'll be surprised at how much back/arm work you actually get.

Anthony - I've been very fluid with rotating exercise order, rep range, tempo, and accessory lift selection - keeps it fresh, and avoids the plateau thing. I should be more organized about it, but even rotating it casually like this I've seen excellent progress.
And the jumping chins idea sounds like a winner! I'm gonna try that! |

Good article.

But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"

Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

OMG it's fierce! /
Now, as I've seen it mentioned and I've wondered about this also- where can some minor chest work come into BGB during the second leg of the week? Would you put it on the Ham Dominant day? If so, what would you recommend? My one limit is dips- can't do 'em.

I think ham dominant day would be the best place for it - still doesn't combine it with shoulder work, and since chest also works tris, it's not a large change from the general format.

Where to even start with the questions...*dives head first*
I'd love to try this routine, but my concern is it still possible with DB's, a bench, and a BB? A few concerns of mine are: -Rack pulls. Is it alright to leave that out and simply do T-Bar row (5x5), Bent over BB row (3x8), and hammer row (3x8-10)? -How would you suggest I split up my Hamstrings and Calves (dominant and accessory) with only BB and DB's for equipment? -When do you take days off? Do you think it best to take a day off after each workout day? -You have several exercises to choose from within the different groups, such as Vertical plane shoulders and Vertical plane back. Do you think it best to rotate these exercises listed, or is it ok to pick a few to stick with like the example you provided? I know my choices will be less due to my access to less equipment. |

1. Sure. Or do off the floor deads.
2. Hams: do RDLs, GMs, fake some sort of a GHR arrangement, get a swiss ball to do leg curls (good for higher rep ham work, google swiss ball leg curls for example). You can do calves with the barbell and a step, do 'em one leg at a time. 3. day 1, day 2, off, day 3, day 4, off off works well. Or EOD. 4. Try it either way. I tend to leave the heavy compound alone and rotate the accessory work. Oh, and get a chinup bar. If you don't have a powercage and can't fake one, do front squats, walking lunges and bulgarian split squats. |
