rate my strength routine
« on: January 03, 2007, 06:32:26 PM »
here's the layout

Monday
Bench Press
Weighted Dip
Seated Cable Row (alternate with t-bar, bent rows every now and then)
Upright row

Tuesday
Squats
Straight leg deadlift
Good Morning
Calf raise (alternate with standed and seated)

Thursday
Partial rep benches (substitute for board presses)
Close grip bench
Incline bench
military press

Friday
Deadlift
Leg Press
Weighted Pullup or Pulldown
Curl (different variations)

All exercises are 3 sets with 4-6 reps per set, not counting warm up sets done at the beginning of each workout.  My idea for this plan was to basically create an upper/lower split 2 times a week, although on Friday I do some upper back and bicep work.  Also, I like to split up my body parts so that I'm working each area at least twice a week, hence the lower back work on Tuesday, the leg day, and a leg press on friday, the back/bicep day.

What are your goals with that routine?  From the post title, I know its strength -- but is it overall stength?  Strength specific to a particular musclegroup/lift?  Other goal?  Knowing your goal will help you and others craft your routine.

my goal is to increase overall strength, with an emphasis on bench press (my weakest lift)
