Hey, just about to start back at gym in 1 week. i was going to start back at the program i was useing but i got recommended anouther one. so i thought i would come and ask which people would recommend for me. i am trying to put on some weight bw.
day 1 exercise reps type
chest dumbell flat bench 4sets 7 reps light to start finish on one rep max
dumbell incline 4sets 7 reps superset with incline flies fast
incline dumbell flies 4sets 7 reps heavy still
barbell bench press 4sets 4 reps fast up 4 seconds down heavy

TRAINING PROGRAM
All exercises are done in 4 sets per exercise.
I do 8 reps per exercise (unless otherwise noted) with muscle failure occurring on the 8th rep.
MONDAY - pecs & abs
flat bench press, incline bench press, decline bench press,
cable pec machine
abs routine:
3 different crunches (lying on floor with legs in air, sitting on bench in v-shape, exercise ball crunches)
all are done in 3 sets with 15 reps per set.
Feel the PAIN, if no pain then you are simply NOT squeezing those abs hard enough! Abs are like any muscle group they must be train in low reps to the point of failure to grow. U not gonna grow deep rippling abs by doing 200 crunches in a row...
TUESDAY - shoulders
(Note: some people prefer to switch the shoulders and leg routine around so that legs is on Tuesdays and shoulders on Wednesdays.)
Lateral raises, front raises, military presses, standing front barbell upright rows (or whatever one call it!),
shrugs
WEDNESDAY - legs
leg extensions, squats, leg extensions, squats, calve raises
THURSDAY - back
straight bar pull down, flat bench barbell raises, straight bar pull down, seated rows
FRIDAY - biceps & triceps
biceps and triceps exercises are done in supersetting mode - without resting in-between. Provides a great pump.
seated biceps curls (alternating, dumbbells), triceps extensions, barbell curls, triceps cable extensions, standing hammer curls (alternating), triceps dips, concentration biceps curls, triceps extensions
