Could you set up a complete sample routine for me with the compounds and isolation movements.also is this a three or four day split

[HawaiianPride.]

It's not hard man, I've done enough by creating everything above off the top of my head. Now it's time to use yours. When you come up with something, I'll critique it...

[bigcwithane]

i am just confused on how many isolation movements i needto do and how many need added to which days.
ex.D1. Upper Power
5x5
Barbell Bench Press
Barbell Rows
Military Press
Barbell Shrugs
Skull crush
BB Curl
D2: Lower Power
5x5
Back Squat
Conventional DL
SLDL
6-8 sets of Seated Calf Press 8-12 heavy rep range
Quad ext.
Ham. Curl

does this sound good?im just confused if i need to add one isolation for each muscle or just pick a couple i like

[bigcwithane]

aldo would this be split like
mon.upper power
wends.lower power
fri.upper power
mon.Lower power etc.

Yep that's an example right there. Isolations aren't really a necessity if you have all those compounds in there, so I would stick with that layout. See how it pans out.

[bigcwithane]

okay do you think i should just change the isolation movements up every other day or so like one day ill do bis and tris other day ill hit a back and shoulder

[knifehead]

what was your splits and how many lifts did you do each day. Can you give me a better out line.

Also the madcows 5x5 looks good

[green22]

Ill chose just one movement for 5x5 per bodypart. say for legs 5x5 on squats then 4 sets 14-20 leg presses as well as extentions.

And for chest it would be 5x5 on incline in 3 sets flat DB at 10-12 reps and flys as well.
also 5x5 is for barbell movements only, least for me.
