Lozza, I’m gonna start something like this soon, what you think? its hard to get all the muscle groups I'm trying to limit the workout to around 1hr. reps around 10 at 3-5 sets all depending on your time constraint and feeling for the day!

Day 1

Squat
SLDL
Military
Upper chest DB
Chins
Dips
Ez Bar


Day 2
Off/cardio/core workout

Day 3

Hack squat
Leg curl
Lateral/front
Mid chest BB
T-Bar
Pull downs
Wide grip curl

Day 4
Off/cardio/core workout

Day 5
DL
Upright rows
Shrugs
Pull over’s… could leave the chest alone and sub something else…
Calves (hit em hard and intense)

Day 6 you could sub 5 for 7 and take 2 days of and repeat or…

Day 7
Snatch & press
Squats smith machine heavy 2-3 reps
Low chest
Forearms (intense)
BB row wide
Concentration curls (21’s)
Skull crusher… now take 2 days off and repeat…

I would encourage you to utilise a full body workout if gaining mass is your initial aim. Full body programs instigate a larger endocrine response within your body, which results in higher hormone release and muscle production. This is my current program, which I do 3 times a week, has been working wonders for me. Give it a go if you want and see how it goes.

*Clean and Press-4 sets
*Squats-3 sets
*Bench press-4 sets
*Barbell row/or chins-4 sets
*Dips (triceps)-3 sets
*Straight bar curls-3 sets
*Calf raises-3 sets

Take note that it may seem far less than any split program, but it is just as demanding, if not more intense, and your body will need sufficient time to recupourate. Listen to your body as to when to do your workouts. Combine this with monster eating and sleep, your set!

Any q's, PM me bro

I do three full body workouts per week.

Lozza: what are your goals? What are you trying to achieve by lifting weights?
Secondly, if you can only train mon, tue, friday you may want to look into an upper/lower (or push pull) split for mon and tuesday, then a full body workout on friday.

Liquidyolk: Squats on the smith machine, especially heavy, are dangerous and counterproductive. They put your back at a biomechanical disadvantage and can increase the forces on your spine 9 fold. Forget the smith machine even exists.
Also, doing core on your day off will leave your core weakened and fatigued for the following workout, which, consequently if you are snatching, squatting, etc. relies heavily on your core musculature to perform the work.

Lozza, I agree with ZR on the Mon - Tue split due to recup time... perhaps you split

Mon shoulder/chest/tri
tue back/bicep/
fri full body but more on legs.


ZR thanks, never heard that before but I see the logic, I don’t use the smith machine as a rule, my thinking was it would help stabilise on the heavy lift and concentrate on the “main muscle" rather than stabiliser muscles also, thinking I could get a heavier lift, I would have probably gone for BB at end of day.

So you say it puts your back at an awkward posture due to the one line of motion , do you think this would be the same principle for the sled hack squat machine? Or different coz the back is supported?

the plans not black and white, if more rest is required in betwen days then sit back and relax and carry on where you left off if time permiting I'll put the core into the main workout as and when it seems good, if the workout is not in the morning then i have more time, like you say the core is worked on legs...

ZR whats your routine mate?

There will always be forces on your back, using the hack or sled will allow you to keep a neutral back while performing the exercise. That said, nothing is better than a free weight squat.

Not to hijack, but my program is split into three days. A snatch dominant day, and clean dominant day, and a squat/Dumbbell bench dominant day.

hey thanks so far for the info, i primarily want to increase my mass, particularly muscle mass and strength, so would low reps of heavy weights be better suited to the regime?
