    my cross training idea......

    we'll here is the idea...its a new work out program that I have been brain stroming for the past 2 wks....since tthere is all this take about full body work outs I decided to jump on the bandwagon and see how it turns out for me.....

    I am a 5 day a week gym kind of guy....

    so I decided to do the 3 day spilt focusing more on upper body then lower due to several knee surgeries and a low back injury (military related injuries)......

    I came up with a 4wk plan trying to minimize the use of the same excersise over and over.....and I also took some of dogshits principles and came up with my own thing......

    now ont start screaming overtraining and all that junk , I know what my body considers overtraining and I know how to listen to my body in response to the work out.....

    plz chime in and share your thoughts.....this is the first time I come up with a cross training type of ordeal.....

    by the way I'm just posting the wks, days, and excersises and NOT the reps or sets....give me a few to post the actual routine since I'm using my phone to get on here and post since I'm at work at it takes a bit of time....lol.....BRB

    ok so now that its finally all there....what do you think...


    by the way the compound movements will be more strength training orientated and the isolated movements will be more towards hypertrophy training related.....

    trying to combine the 2 a bit and see how it goes.....

    Are you going to be on a cycle? You really have to be careful about overtraining if your going to do a particular body part more than once in a 7 day peroid.

    no cycle..... now are u asking if I'm bulking or cutting?


    many months ago I used to do muscles twice within a 7 day period but then I went to once a week.... so I think with the one day on and one day off it shouldnt be too bad plus I'm trying to hit different angles of the muscle each time ....... ill fill you guys in by the end of the month and let you know how it went....I just want to give it a shot and see if it works for me......
