i do a full body workout 3 times a week. i am a newer lifter and thought this would be good. i am already in good physical shape as i have played sports, hockey and basketball my whole life.
here is what i do. its very simple and i have not fine tuned anything. just looking for suggestions/input:
i do every excersise with 3 sets.
bench
sqaut
pull-ups
dips
calf raises
deadlifts
that is usualy the order i would do things in.
ok, so i do 3 sets of each. i find a weight for each where i fail at around the 5th rep. i keep the same weight for all 3 sets. the next workout day i dont change any of the weights on my lifts, i just try to get more reps. i will keep the same weight on each excersise until i can do 10 or more reps with it. the workout day after i have reached the 10 or more reps i will find the new weight that i can only get 5 reps in and repeat the process.
i have read that you should constantly be trying to increase either the reps or the weight, so i figured my logic was on the right track. i would also think i am getting a good mix of strength and hypertrophy in doing this.
let me know if i am spinning my wheels.
