My CURRENT plan is

MWF:

10 minute warm up on row machine. Vigorous effort.
Seated dips 3 sets, 8-10reps 200-235lbs,
Lateral pulls 3 sets, 8-10 reps 235-250lbs,
Pectoral butterflies 3 sets, 8-10 reps 145-165lbs,
Overhead press 3 sets, 8-10 reps 75-100lbs,
Incline bench 3 sets, 6-8 reps 165-190lbs.
Each set is one circuit and I run at full sprint between sets for 1 lap around gym. No rest.
TuThSa:

10 minute warm up on row machine. Vigorous effort.
15 push ups, 4 sets,
34 15lbs medicine ball ab twists, 4 sets,
50 Bicycle kicks, 4 sets,
30 Raised leg crunches, 4 sets,
30 Leg cross overs, 4 sets,
Each set is one circuit and I run at full sprint between sets for 1 lap around gym. No rest.


I'm curious about any plans that y'all have tried and had success with?

    What day do you do legs? Your MWF is in a really inefficient order. Dips, fly and OHP should be towards the end after you do the bigger compound lifts.

    I follow a program built by a professional. It ensures I hit all body parts equally through the week and uses them in the appropriate progression from compound lift to isolation work.

    usmcmp, What would you suggest to gain more efficiency? I've been doing this for about 5 weeks now. About to change to doing Supersets for 6 weeks and then I'll switch over to compounds for another 6 weeks

    I'm a competitive bodybuilder. I've followed PHAT, HST, and PHUL. I loved PHAT (the original version, not the updated one).
