This an okay workout?

newbienewb Tue 03 May 2011 03:21:00 No.7228357 View View Reply Original Report

Having 3 workouts a week, changing between these two workouts. I will be doing A on monday, B on wednesday, A on friday, B on monday and so on..

Workout A
Deadlift - 5x5
Bent-over Row - 5x5
military Press - 5x5

Workout B
Squat - 5x5
Bench Press - 5x5
Pull up's - 2@ max

I haven't noted the weight since I'm still working on form and I don't really know my max other than bench press, which is 50kg

This an okay setup, too short maybe?

I very much prefer 3x5 over 5x5. Also 5x5 deadlifts is way too much anyway. I'd also switch rows to workout B, remove pullups and add 3x5-8 chinups to workout A. Once you're able to do full sets of chinups add weight.

sure is SL in here. Just read the sticky. You can even skip to the workout sections where it links you to SS and SL if you are that lazy.

When you do a bent-over row does the BBell touch the ground each rep or do you just extend your arms and let the BBell hang there for a second?

How does /fit/ train their traps? Im currently doing barbell rows, but i feel that im not doing it properly. So, what other exercises are good to train traps (except deadlifts)?

OP here

>>7228698
uhm.. both I suppose, sometimes they touch the ground, other times they hang just above for a second and I'll start the next rep..

To the people telling me to read the sticky, this is taken from the sticky, just a slightly different version, so fuck off :D

depends which part of the traps, superior (ascending fibres), middle or inferior (descending) fibres?

shrugs for superior (ascending)
any kind of cleans or upright row or OHP for superior (ascending fibres)
bent over row/deadlift for middle and inferior trap fibres

Yeh, that's just the one, but I haven't seen or read about it, wondering if it's a good one to start of with or if there's any better out there.

Yeah, it's okay. More balanced than SS/SL imho.

But: I'd replace pull-ups with weighted chins and switch them around with BORs.

Also the volume will be okay for a while, but after you add some weight you'll need to dial back a little (to 3x5) to keep your progress going, especially on deads.

yeah i don't know OP, i've been doing it for about 5 weeks now, except ive been doing 3 sets of 8 reps (was told females should do higher reps of lower weight). the program has been good to me so far, but I cant do a real pull-up yet, so i put in inverted pull-ups instead.
