hello,

i do 5x5 mon, 3x10 wed, and 3x15 fri.

Each workout consists of at least:

hang cleans
deadlifts
some form of squat, single or reg
bench press, some form

thats not the right order but each of my workouts have all of those plus a couple more excercises. Is this too much?
let me know
Thanks
 
ok so you guys are saying its perfect the way it is? but I should not to cleans on 3x15 days? because those arent fun

Also if I went to the gym and I did those 3 lifts and I rand out of time and didnt do my bent over rows, shoulder press would that be ok? I tend to take up 1 hr 30 min doing 4 of those lifts. I dont know why
 
that sounds like alot of time, whats your time between the sets? and for the cleans, id stick to no more than 3 reps.. though 5 could probobly work..
 
ok so on my 3x10 and 3x15 days what could I do?

as of now I do:

cleans
some form of squat
some form of bench press
dead lifts
bent over row
military press
lateral raises


So if I remove cleans and only do it on my 5x5 day what will i replace it with?
let me know
 
This is what my workout looks like:
Workout A:
Cleans
BB Squats
Bb Flat Bench Press
Dead Lifts
Military Press
Pull Ups/Pull Downs
Cuban Press 3x8

Workout B:
Walking Lunges
DB Flat Bench Press
Dead Lift
Bent Over Row
Military Press
Pull Up/Pull Down
Shoulder Raise 3x8

Workout C:
Cleans
Bulg. Squats w/ DB
Incline BB Press
Dead Lifts
Pull Ups/Pull Downs
Military Press
Lateral Raises 3x8


I switch these on the 5x5, 3x10, to 3x15 every week. For example:

A, B, C
C, A, B
B, C, A

Something like that is used. But i think thats right.
So I dont know if Im doing too much. LEt me know

Thanks
 
Workout A:
Cleans
BB Squats
Bb Flat Bench Press
Dead Lifts
drop these Military Press cuban press is enough
Pull Ups/Pull Downs
Cuban Press 3x8

Workout B:
drop these Walking Lunges deadlift will do legs ok
DB Flat Bench Press
Dead Lift
Bent Over Row
Military Press
Pull Up/Pull Down
drop these Shoulder Raise 3x8 military press is enough

Workout C:
drop these Cleans do a horizontal pull b-o-r etc
Bulg. Squats w/ DB
Incline BB Press
Dead Lifts
Pull Ups/Pull Downs
drop these Military Press do lat raises only.
Lateral Raises 3x8

this is the way i would do it IMO.
 
lol who says i dont die. I want every workout to be the best so thats why i do them all. I have been doing that for the past 3 mos before stopping.
Is it bad doing all of them every workout? I can handle it but I am unable to do some other excercises later
 
well, you could burn out doing all that heavy stuff in one workout. All of them are pretty CNS intense..
 
i see what your saying. So i worked out yesterday doing, walking lunges, bench press, and dead lifts. I only do cleans no on 5x5 days.

So today I feel good not really tired but i know my muscles are tired. Monday ill be ready for my next workout. So what do you recommend me doing? All of some?
 
I think your doing too much. Why not try to get on a full-body-workout 3 times a week.
WXWXWXX and then repeat (w=workout, x=rest)

Try this:
Compound movements----
Quad/Glute= Squats
Ham Pull= Striaght- Leg Deadlift
Horizontal Push= Bench Press
Horizontal Pull= Bent-over-rows
Vertical Push= Military Press
Vertical Pull= Powercleans or Deadlifts

Isolations----
Abs- Core workout, 2 circuits: crunches, side crunches, planks, side planks, back extensions, hanging leg raises, twisting motion
Calves- Seated Calve Raises, Calve Raises, Tibia
Forearm- Forarm Push (Hold a bar behind you back with palms facing outward and twist the wrist..you can go alot heavier then you think on these too) and wrist curls and hammer curls every now and then.

Every 3-4 weeks change up the exercises. For example, today I did dumbbell bench press instead of barbell bench fand I switched bent-rows to upright rows and switched military press to seated military press.

And whats with all the rep changes? If your goal is strength then do 5x5 and for size to 3x10 or 3x8. If you plateau switch the exercises or try pyramiding for 2 workouts. Get on a good linear progression like every week increase the intensity (by adding weight) or increase the volume (adding more sets, reps) or every 2 weeks increase the frequency (adding another workout).

I think this should help you. Your workout must not be working if your posting this, that means your doubting it.

edit: get some whey protein to drink after you work out to help recovery if your not doing that already.

Jman, he already has a full-body routine. It looks like you're trying to pigeonhole the very basic lifts into a full-body, but soccergod already has those with more variation though. Training for strength vs size cannot and should not but into specific frames either, it's very beneficial - especially for athletes - to work in different rep ranges (not the same ones).

Protein is important, but more so for your overall diet. Carbs are more important than protein for post-workout nutrition.

Also, nobody should be benching and military pressing three times a week, especially at really low-rep/heavy weights.

Good Points...Maybe thats why I'm plateuing lately because I bench and military press 3x a week. Didn't think of that..Thanks for the advice.
 
ok first of all I got all my information from people on here. I am looking for strength and size to aid in my sport. People on here told me to traing a different rep/set scheme each workout so I dont plateau and I can work everything. So i beleived them because I trust you guys.

They told me to do 5x5, 3x10, 3x15 to train everything and also to do workouts different. I used to do 5x5 before and did if for about a month the same excercises everytime every workout.

I used to do:

5x5 M/W/F

squats
bench press
deadlifts
bent over rows
pull ups
milatry press


Now I really want to add HANG CLEANS. They are fun.
I got put on the other workout I got a few days ago above and it seems like Im doing different reps each time meaning I cant add weight or intensity.

So What do you guys propse I do? go back to full 5x5 doing:

Cleans
Bench press
squats
bent over row
deadlifts
milary press
pull ups


OR I CAN DO WHAT YOU GUYS TOLD ME:

Workout A:

BB Squats
Bb Flat Bench Press
Dead Lifts
Pull Ups/Pull Downs
Cuban Press 3x8

Workout B:

Walking Lunges
DB Flat Bench Press
Dead Lift
Bent Over Row
Military Press
Pull Up/Pull Down


Workout C:

Bulg. Squats w/ DB
Incline BB Press
Dead Lifts
Pull Ups/Pull Downs
Lateral Raises 3x8

Then I am planning on doing 5x5 CLEANS every day or only once a week. WHICH ONE SHOULD I DO ?

Thats what I would like to do if it isnt too much. Let me know
Also I only work Mon Wed fri and nothing more. I dont like splits
I also have protein shake after workout.

Thanks

do A, B, C. like you already had. in different rep ranges. feel it out and see what works. the 15 may be too high (more endurance based) if you aren't used to it. but try it out and then make changes accordingly.

the explosive lifts, ie the oly lifts, are better at lower reps. keep in mind that you don't necessarily have to put specific rep ranges on specific days either. for example oly lifts (cleans etc) would be at lower reps, but most auxiliary work...supplementary stuff like rotator cuff work (external rotations and so on) would be at higher reps.

protein and CARBS after you workout, the carbs are more important imo
 
ok thanks for that!
Also so the oly lifts, should i do cleans every day? or just once a week on my 5x5 day?

I was thinking that putting cleans everyday but once do 5x5 and 5x3 to mix it up. Those would be put on the 3x10 days as well.

Also yes the 3x15 is endurance which is not really helping me so, do you think I should do 5x5, 4x8, then 3x10? Or any other suggestions?


I still dont really understand how I would put the oly lifts in my program
