so im benching today so would i go
20 of light weight
then 12 of a bit heavier
then my set range of 5-6 for 2-3 sets (at my high weight - keeping it the same for 3 sets)
one last q-
I usually do Bicep / back and Tricep / chest days together,
So if I warmup for my first bench set should I then ill do 1 chest exercise then ill do another tricep ex - ie skull crushers, should I warm up for that as well or only use 1 warm up per muscle?
Or should I not be breaking up my tricep exs with chest work in between?
Id never suggest doing a smaller muscle between your bigger muscle groupds when training...i.e
Chest:
Bench
tricep pressdown
incline bench
tricep extension
etc etc....thats not a good idea...
Train your bigger muscle group then finish with the smaller muscle group...
I've found that if I do all big muscle exercises first I really die in the arse quick so I started alternating big and small muscle groups and found that I could lift heavier and for longer. This is similar to how i used to do my full body workouts e.g squat > bench > dead > MP. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this more Joel as split routines are pretty new to me
Yeah I just found mainly on chest and shoulder days I struggled with multiple pressing movements in a row, it seemed to be easier if I broke them up with something in between
I think im so used to training for strength and concentrating on how much weight I'm lifting my ego gets a bit bruised when the weight drops so rapidly after the 1st or 2nd exercise lol
If you're wanting to work something else in between I'd be changing the split, I did chest/bi's, back/tri's, shoulders/abs/legs for that reason. I just find using the "supporting" muscle in between affects how much you can work the bigger muscle group.
silly routine IMO.
What are your goals ?
