I think that changing the rep ranges every 8 weeks will enable the body to continue to progress by changing the focus between slow twitch, fast twitch and 'medium twitch' muscle fibres. So instead of 5x5, 3x10, 3x15, 5x5 the routine will be 3x10, 3x15, 5x5, 3x10, and then after 8 weeks of that it will change to 3x15, 5x5, 3x10, 3x15. The rep ranges in the program will be changed every 8 weeks. 5x5 stronglifts).Д«1 3x15 Single leg standing dumbbell calf raise It concluded that varying rep range during the week lead to more rapid muscle gains compared to doing the same rep range every workout (e.g. I have designed this routine inspired by a science journal I read called 'A Comparison of Linear and Daily Undulating Periodized Programs with Equated Volume and Intensity for Strength'. Do you think I'd be better off doing a more intense routine to see quicker results? I have two months from today to get into shape before I head away for the summer.

And when I look at the pictures of people who have been following the program for 2 years and yet look pretty much as they did before (just a little slimmer) it doesn't fill me full of confidence. It's just that I have started this 5x5 workout and I'm in my 5th week and haven't noticed any physical difference. He obviously isn't on steroids due to the fact he get drug tested every week. That said my interests/bias are towards heavy lifting (not BB, powerlifting/strongman/oly lifting), so once I am able to thats were my focus will lie, and thankfully there is a CF site geared towards that ().Yeah but what about someone like Cristiano Ronaldo who looks both ripped and strong. I tried LOTS of programs, CF was and is the only one that has delivered, were all the BB routines that one typically finds/is directed to have failed (I get comments daily about my vastly improved fitness and physique). Basically I was always trying to find 'the' program that would get me the results I wanted (bigger/stronger/with cardio/endurance to go with it) cause of the army. I have a bit of a library at home (including Arnolds Bible), did some courses, read alot from whatever source I could, picked my friend's brain (personal trainer, and national level track athlete, with uni degree in excercise science). Certainly not what I expected from a kool-aid drinker. Jos1985 wrote:48highlander, your fitness knowledge is quite remarkable. For the medicine ball push-ups place your hands on the side of a medicine ball and do the push-up.Д¤8highlander, your fitness knowledge is quite remarkable. To make it work your grip even harder use a false grip (thumbs on same side as fingers). The reverse barbell curl will challenge not just your biceps, but also your forearms and grip (both of which are important in LE). Reverse Crunch 3x12 Reverse barbell curl 3x8 Workout A targets your triceps, Workout B targets your biceps. If you want to really make your arms burn try this.

No piracy or any illegal intentions are made on this website by myself, or any other party. I am merely archiving old content which was and is given away for free. So say do your first 3 sets with a regular or wide grip and the last 1 or 2 with a close grip (and also less weight). Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with Stronglifts or their coaching team (including Mehdi Hadim). The closer your hands are the more emphasis on your triceps. Or you can change your grip on your bench press. Like 48 said, do chin-ups to get your biceps and close grip push-ups for your tris. Inverted rows with a supinated grip (palms facing you), and pullups with supinated grip (aka chin ups) will tax your biceps, especially if you do weighted pullups.ДЄlso the isometric contractions you are using to hold on to a heavy bar, when doing deadlifts, will strengthen your entire arm. With the routine listed in that link, sub in dips where it says push ups (you can do 'tricep' push ups, ie hand close together, but its much easier to increase the weight your doing, by using a dip belt that you hang plates off of). How or when do I put dips into this routine?ДЄnd which excerise is working my biceps the most? Weighted dips/pullups are more than sufficient work for you arms.

Having that burning feelin in your arms by doing isolation work is meaningless. With strength programs like these, if you are doing them properly (at least starting strength) ie with heavy ass weight and a proper warm up, you should be too tired to move. I like to feel those burn at the end of a workout, so adding something in for those is needed. The only thing with these kind of all body work outs is that there isnt anything specific for arms - Bi and Tri. TorontoCopper wrote:Im going to start this next week.
