Good workout, im rocked right now. I really think doin this will get me through this plateu im in from doin the same shit for a year and a half. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
For the rest of the routine im gonna do back, biceps and then the 3rd day legs. im debating on whether to do this split 2 times a week and take one day off any ideas?

Attention - we have another journal!

Good stuff Doyle, nice workout! 300lb bench, nice! funny stuff bout that skinny spotter haha

Nice choice to do the 3 day split, I believe thats the routine I've used myself for the majority of my lifting life

I'll be checking in

I'll be sticking around in here.

Solid workout, nice numbers on bench as well. Like Wala said a 3 day split sounds good, keep it up for a while and see how you do with it.

Looking solid to me. Good numbers.

As for how many days to take off that's a tough one. Most push/pull/leg splits have you setup for M/W/F and 4 rest days but it really comes down to your goals and what works for you. 6 days a week might be overtraining for one person and just the right amount for the next.

wala

Exactly dude!

Basically, it all comes down to personally experience coupled with trial and error.. Its taken me over 4 years to find out just a few things about how I respond to certain styles of training..

Today was Back and Biceps. I felt good, pretty strong workout. New PR on deadlifts! Decided to do just 5 reps on the pyramiding up to the big stuff. Usually I do like 225x12 315x10 so on but i think the way i did it today would be better for strength. Idk tell me what you guys think

315x5
405x5
425x2
440x1 YEAH BUDDY PR!!

Good workout today, i have another question. THis guy at the gym told me if i really wanted to get my deadlift numbers up i should buy some straps. Does anybody here use straps and if so are they good?

Michael

Wow strong numbers dude!

You're putting up some great numbers on the couple of workouts you've posted. What kind of diet are you following?

Doyle

i dont really follow a super strict diet. i just mostly eat a lot of eggs, steak, rice, tuna, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Also i drink 2 protein shakes a day. and i drink a ton of milk.
