| Too Stocky - Can't breathe | Incase you don't know Workout A Squats 3 x 5 Military Press 3 x 5 Bent Over Rows 3 x5 Chin ups 2 x 8 Abs Squats 3 x 5 Bench Press 3 x 5 Deadlift 1 x 5 Dips 2 x 8 Abs This is a decent routine, I've gained strength off it, but squatting heavy every workout is killing me. My motivation is dying because I know what's about to happen, the excitement just isn't really there, especially with gains slowing down. I've been training for 3 years now, 19years old, 15.5 stone, 20% bodyfat. Anyone help me out with a new routine?:lift: |

Deadlifts - 5 x 5 Side lats - 2 x 10 Bent over rows - 4 x 5 Pulldowns (or chins) - 2 x 10 Bicep curl - 2 x 10

With strength comes size. Is there any reason why you train twice a week? I'm curious as I train twice a week you see.

| Too Stocky - Can't breathe | Re: NEED A NEW ROUTINE! 3x5 Rippetoe is boring/slowly killing me Sorry, I apologise. I work out 3 times a week. So it'd be. Week 1: Workout A, Workout B, Workout A Week 2: Workout B, Workout A, Workout B I try to increase the main lifts every week.
