    Heliums new workout!

    i put this together with some ideas from skullsmasher.

    so body parts 2x a week:

    monday

    chest
    2 sets incline db/bb
    2 sets dec/dips
    2 sets flat db/bb
    shoulders
    2 sets military press db/bb
    2 sets arnie or side laterals
    2 sets rear laterals
    2 sets shrugs
    back
    1 set of deads
    2 sets rows bb/db
    2 sets lat pulldowns
    1 set of straight leg deads or hyperextensions if needed
    abs(any)

    wednesday

    legs (limited machines)

    2 sets squats
    2 sets leg press
    2 sets calves
    2 sets lunges

    arms
    2 sets bicep chins
    2 sets hammers/curls
    2 sets tricep pull overs/french press
    2 sets cgb
    abs(any)

    friday repeat mondays
    saturday repeat wednesdays

    did this routine this week and loved it,finishing up tomorrow,i dropped the sets during legs to 2 sets and added 2 sets of lunges,one thing i noticed was being able to really concentrate and hit the desired muscles with full effect,im gonna run it for 8 weeks total and see how it goes but judging by this week its gonna be good.
    workouts take an hour with training partner before it took one and half hours

    i basically start the first week at around 16 reps and drop 2 reps per week(roughly) increasing the weight as i go.until i reach 4 reps then i spend 1 week maxing.

    no overtraining issues as the total number of sets equals what id normally do with a standard split per week,per bodypart.

    I like it. I'm looking at tweaking my HIT program to look a lot like this actually. I'm not sure I would do back with chest and shoulders though.

    yeah,its difficult to put back with legs as a strong leg workout zaps you big time,plus deads and squats on the same day is a no no.
