    Old school push_pull

    Wednesday — Off
    Thursday — Light/Moderate Pull
    Friday — Light/Moderate Push*
    Saturday — Off
    Sunday — Heavy Pull
    Monday — Heavy Push

    Monday (Heavy Pull)

    A1. Dead Lifts, 8 sets of 3
    A2. Supported DB Curls (lean against one of the posts on the power rack so that the post sits flat against your entire spine and back of your head — it prevents you from cheating), 8 x 3
    B1. Weighted Pull-Ups (full extension, of course), 8 x 3
    B2. Straight-Leg Deadlifts, 8 x 3
    C. Serratus Crunch, 3-4 x 8-10

    Tuesday (Heavy Push)

    A1. Front Squats (start with the bar at the bottom of your range of motion, i.e., you duck-walk under the bar, get in position, and lift up), 8 x 3
    A2. Smith Machine Bench Press (wide grip, bringing the bar to the neck, just below the chin, Vince Gironda Style), 8 x 3.
    (I know, I know, it's the freakin' Smith Machine, but it allows you to bring the bar to your neck with some degree of safety, which makes benching a good chest/mediocre triceps movement instead of just a good triceps/mediocre chest movement).
    B1. Standing Overhead Presses, 8 x 3
    B2. A2. Dips (forearm touches biceps in the down position), 8 x 3
    C. Leg Press Calf Extensions, 3-4 x 8-10
