View Full Version : How would you structure a routine aimed at building...
... and focusing on The following lifts:
*pull ups and dips
*barbell row
*front squat
*military press
and also plenty of hypertrophy
Answers on a postcard:D
How many days a week?
Additional exercise, if any?
Experience of lifter?
Why those specific lifts?
Okay, it is, it is purely hypothetical for the moment
as many as you like
same as 1
let's say six months of heavy training for now
for simplicity's sake, choose three of those five movements to focus, or all of them if you like,... I chose them because they are original movements to focus on as opposed to the standard squat, dead lift and bench

Basically I've kept the routine very general.
There are many ways those exercises could be put into a routine, need more info.
1. (mon)
OHP - Lots.
Row - Lots.
2. (wed)
Front squat. Lots of. Heavy too. I like what I am doing at the moment: Work up to a 3RM, back off 20% and triple it till you only get a double. LOTS of volume at reasonably high tension.
+1. preferably PC. I.e. Pull throughs.
Core stuff, cuff work, whatever else taketh your fancy.
3. (fri)
Dip - Lots.
Chin - Lots.
OR
1.
Front squat - 5x5
OHP - 5x5
Chin - 3x8
2.
Front squat - 3x8
Row - 5x5
PC - 3x8
Okay, I hope to focus on those movements in the future, but I don't know when my knee injury will get better so may not be able to do any legwork for a while
I also want to build strength within quite a high rep range (8-10) rather then 1rm
this is what I had in mind done like weights, cardio, rest/cardio, repeat:
1)
pull ups 4 x 8-10
overhead press 4 x 8-10
biceps work (Barbell Curl, hammer curl, close grip chin-ups, hammer curls)
traps (shrug,Chest-supported Trap Row, etc)
forearms
abdominals and obliques
2)
Dips 4 x 8-10
barbell row 4 x 8-10
triceps work (close grip bench press, hammer grip dumbbell bench press, bench dips)
rear Delts/upper back (T-Bar Rows, cable rows to face, scarecrows, bent over lateral raises, fat man pull ups etc)
hyper extensions
one days off do RC, flexibility, Pilates/yoga/core stability, postural work
Nothing done to failure
and assistance work varies in sets and repetitions, and may include one or more exercise for each
Or something like: (done like weights, cardio, rest/cardio, repeat)
1)
dips
pull ups
overhead press
biceps work
hyper extensions
2)
bent over row
horizontal push
upper back/rear delt would work
tricep work
abdominal work
one days off do RC, flexibility, Pilates/yoga/core stability, forearm, postural work
