I actually might do this coming up after my contest. I was trying to make a routine like this before but I couldn't come up with a good layout that I liked. It'll be good to see how it goes since you're trying it out Islander. I imagine it comes with eating like a hog though so you have enough energy, haha.

Improvisation! Give me some iron and a bar and I can show you a million lifts, haha! Those changes seem minor and don't really deviate from the overall regimen. I'm sure you'll be feeling the pain just as much.

I have done something similar to this and have made fantastic gains. I did upper hypertrophy monday, lower power tuesday, thursday upper power, and friday lower hypertrophy. One recommendation is to push through it the first 5 or 6 weeks even if you feel like you are over training. Then if you feel like you need to deload or lighten the intensity do that for one or two weeks. I did that and continued with that until week 7. After week seven I reset the weight on my power days and tested everything and at that time all my lifts went up. I found the 4 day a week split extremely grueling but I did one 8 week mesocycle of this and made fantastic gains. Just an example. 8 weeks ago I box squatted 355 x 5 and at the end of this I did 405 x 5. I've had problems with my chest and this seems like the only program that I've made significant gains in my chest with. I was incline pressing 90 lbs dbs 5 times and after I'm up to 105's x 5. Definitely a good program but my exercises varied a bit and like I said I only did this for a four day a week split. You will definitely like this though and good luck because I could only imagine what 5 days a week is going to be like.

Only prob ive run into so far and its a pretty major one. I cant do this wo smoothly esp with all those supersets. Im not sure its going to work. Half the time I need something someone is using a certain machine or bench. I end up having to do something else or stand in the vacinty of what I need to be able to jump on it, Ive already asked people who all lollygagging to move it but thats bull**** and so is waiting. grrr I dunno what to do wait times are to long.

I did this for a few months on my cut and had good results with it, I would do HIIT on the off days as well. The only problem is that the "power workouts" (Sunday and Monday in this template) were generally extremely short workouts (~45 minutes - 1 hour) while the hypertrophy days (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) were pretty long workouts (averaging 1.5 hours). Now it didn't really bother me that much because I love spending time in the gym, but just saying.

Also, on the power workout for lower body, I did some leg press as well.

I feel your pain. Im not on this workout, but one kind of similiar that incorporates supersets that are a key to the wo scheme. It sucks balls when someone can clearly see your doing supersets, but decides to jump on your superset station while your doing the first exercise. Luckily this has only happened to me once and I wanted to kill the guy very badly, LOL!
My gym isnt very crowded most of the time which is good. I couldnt imagine trying to do these at a gym thats crowded.

You can use it on your bulk, for the power days just do 5x5 instead of 3x5, and follow the template for the hypertrophy days.

Word, I dont f^ck up anyones sets, but hate when they do it to me when they know that I am using both. Thats why I bring a towel and water, so if my superset is spaced out I leave one at one spot and then the other.
But I try to superset using things in arms reach of each other.

Might give this a go feeling stalled out on mine right now, Might look to start this soon prbly not this or next but maybe for the month of May. Have not really ever done an upper body lower body split(powerdays) so i hope I see some results, I have always done ti by parts and not sections.

I would make some tweaks here and there, have to figure those out but I am going to mess with it and see what happens and get ready for May.


Nice post Islander

These workouts are pretty insane, they give you an awesome burn. I did back/shoulders/traps today and it was awesome.

just thought i'd give my 2cents here..

i am on week 2 of this split and i love it so far. i do a bench contest at least once a year (which i just finished), so i enjoy the powerlifting days - but also like the intensity of the supersets on the hypertrophy days..

i was on a 5x5, so i'm accustomed to longer rests between sets. however, since starting this split, i've been working out in the early mornings - so i'm forced to keep focus and limit my down time. it actually makes for great intensity. i also have no problem with people interrupting my supersets by working out early a.m...

i very much appreciate this split being posted.. it was exactly what i was looking for.. thank you.

^ i don't have a set time.. i don't think there is any added benefit to short versus long rest periods. i simply go when i feel ready..

in a 5x5 the weight is greater, and i want to be able to do as many reps as i can and this is typically to failure (or very close) - so my rest time is greater..

in the hypertrophy days that utilize supersetting, the weight isn't as much and we are stopping before failure so I find I don't need as much rest...

I get wicked pumps from the supersets, I can barely take my shirt of after chest/arms day.

In a 5*5 don't you want just five reps?

I think I'm going to start this soon. I néed go switch up my routine and this looks intense!

Since your doing squats and deads I wouldn't worry about an ab workout. Unless your doing MMA I would just do the squats and deads.
