Power Lifting Program Critique
I recently decided to get back into body building after taking 3 years off
I was pretty big before - weighed about 230lbs with 20% bf... had a 270lb bench press and 17in arms when I stopped.
I currently weigh the same but my strength is WAY down then it was before. Kind of flabby but I think I can pull it all together and gain what I had before back in a year or so.
Lemme know what you guys think of this routine
Here's the routine I plan to follow:
Monday: Chest
Flat Bench Press: 3 sets heavy (3-5 reps), 3 sets light (6-10 reps)
Incline Bench Press 2 sets (6-10 reps)
Decline Bench Press 2 sets (6-10 reps)
Flat Bench Flies 4 sets (6-10 reps)
Sit Ups 2 sets (6-10 reps)
Tuesday Arms/Back
Rows – Close grip 3 sets (6-10 reps)
Rows – Wide grip 3 sets (6-10 reps)
Lateral cable pull downs – Close grip 3 sets (6-10 reps)
Lateral cable pull downs – Wide grip 3 sets (6-10 reps)
Bicep Preacher Curls 3 sets (6-10 reps)
Over Hand For-arm Preacher Curls 2 sets (6-10 reps)
Under hand For-arm Curls 2 sets (6-10 reps)
Sit ups 2 sets (6-10 reps)
20 min cardio

Sunday: Power Lifts
Dead Lifts - 3 sets/3-5 reps (heavy), 3 sets/6-10 reps (light)
Hang Cleans 3 sets/3-5 reps (heavy), 3 sets/6-10 reps (light)
Plan to eat 240g/day of protein - 4, 60g shakes
1 breakfast, 1 PWO, 1 dinner, 1 bed time
Protein powder consists of 40% whey, 40% casien, 20% BCAA's
Looking to stay more lean and gain lean body mass
But definitely wanna get back up to a 270lb bench max and the 17 inch arms I used to have
I'm 23 years old, 6'1'' and 230lbs with a average-to-slow metabolism

Definitely a big difference. Just depends on your goals. For strength, have you ever considered a 5x5 program?
