@Adrian: LOL, yeh we got the kids a desk, and I went to the beach 2 days before that pic, got a bit burnt.
@Hamburgler: Yeh I thought about it, but I really want to go to the gym 4 days a week from now and try a split, I'm still comin up with the routine as I write this. Maybe a more simplified version of the one I posted earlier, either way, I just need to change it up a little.
This is a modified version of the one I posted earlier;
I took out the side laterals and added chins for biceps, it still has my big 4 lifts to work on, so I can still go for the numbers on those. With the reps, I just put 8-10 but really will only use them as a guide, if I'm feeling strong I will go heavier with lower reps, if I'm feeling just normal I will just use the usual method of adding weight to each workout. I try to do a max effort workout every 4th week to reset my 1rm and see how much strength I gained, but really I mostly feel comfortable around the 8 rep mark.
Again, the chins, wide chins and dips, I'll do as singles until i can rep them. I'm prob gonna try this out, I really love doing front squats so I want them in my routine, I just don't know if this is more balanced or not. As Dave mentioned before, the upper workout is kinda push centric still, but is that really bad? I don't want to do the beginner routine 3 days a week anymore, I really want to hit the gym more, even one extra day a week, it will keep me a bit more honest with myself.
