I dont dig the whole 1 set thing either tbh.

I just get in the gym, lift some heavy ass weights. Normally about 8 to 10 sets per session. Then thats me done

Please could we keep to the point :P

What do you guys suggest ?
Trying out the Ripptoe for about 2 month ?

Rippetoes starting strength is a good routine yes.

Or just do 2 full body routines a week. Mon/ thurs

Tues you could do some cardio or whatever.

Or do an upper/lower split and alternate.

There is loads and loads of these klinda threads mate, use the search button ;)

nathanlowe · 31-01-2008, 09:24 PM

Will i be ok doing the rippetie routine monday, tues , thurs ?

Robbie · 31-01-2008, 10:57 PM

Not really, you need that days rest believe me!

What stops you from working out mon/wed/fri?

nathanlowe · 31-01-2008, 11:11 PM

Wednesday is rugby training

Big_Dan · 31-01-2008, 11:14 PM

try doing 5sets of 5 reps , on squats , deadlifts and bench mate !!!

my fav way about things ;)

nathanlowe · 31-01-2008, 11:24 PM

So keep my current route but when i do squats, deads and bench do 5 x 5

nathanlowe · 02-02-2008, 03:15 PM

Does everybody agree that i should keep my current routine as i cant have day on day off , but do bench, deads and squats at 5 x 5 ?
Should i not squat monday and thursday ?
Also, by the time ive done my 3 chest exercises i really struggle on the tricep ones, they seem very tired already.
Should i do tricep exercises then chest then tricep or all one muscle then all of the other ?

Robbie · 02-02-2008, 05:51 PM

The problem with not having a day off is your not going to give yourself any rest...

Can you do Saturdays?

nathanlowe · 02-02-2008, 09:52 PM

Would nothing work like
monday - bench, squat, dead, dips, pullups, millitary press, bent over row
Tuesday - Smaller isolation movements ?
Thursday - bench, squat, dead, dips, pullups, millitary press, bent over row

Robbie · 02-02-2008, 09:57 PM

You could do just two days at the gym Monday and Thursday and still do rippetoes starting strength...

Monday
Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift

Thursday
Squat
Military Press
Bent over Row

use the Tuesday as rest! if you keep adding weight you will need it!

Robbie · 02-02-2008, 09:58 PM

Then later maybe add in dips on the Monday and chin ups on the Thursday
