    Muscles twice a week??

    I notic i gain strength much better when i work a muscle 3 times in 2 weeks, rather then just 2. Right now i am just looking to get some strength back (i took off for a while) before i do a serious powerlifting routine for strength. Heres what im thinking of doing

    Workout A
    Flat bench 5x5
    Incline DB press 2x 8-10
    Fly's 2 x8-10
    Military 5x5
    Standing DB curl 5x5
    Longbar curs 2x 8-10
    (this seems like alot, but monday i did this exact workout minus the military and had ful energy up untill my last set of bi'. so i think it will be ok)

    Workout B
    Lat pull down 5x5
    Row machine 5x5
    db rows 2 x 8-10
    close grip bench press 5x5
    tricep pushdown 2 x8-10
    Squats 5x5
    (will prob throw in leg extensions 2 x8-10)


    MONDAY-A WED-B FRIDAY- A Monday-B Wed-A and so on and so on

    this workout may seem alittle odd, but i put My Bis on my push day and Tris on my pull day because i feel like after i do my chest and shoulders my tris will be to weak to get ne progress, same as pull day with Bis. This is kinda a hybrid between a 5x5 and the iron man
