New workout

[Machdiesel]

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

A few things i notice here.
1. Looks like you are doing a modified version of Ironman's HIT routine combined with 5x5 training as well. Interesting idea but I would add in some higher and lower reps every once in a while.

2. Your thinking on the whole bicep/tricep issue is flawed. In essence, you are hitting each one of those EVERY time you work out. You involuntarily involve the biceps to a great amount on back day and then hit them again on your chest/shoulder day. Same with your triceps. I would rather work them when they are tired than when they are recovering.
