I am currently deployed and I am looking for a new weight lifting routine that will add lots of strength and mass. I am not a beginner lifter by any means, just looking for something new to do that has proven results. Any suggestions? Thanks guys and gals.

    I have access to a simple cable machine. lots of dumbbells, benches, incline and decline, leg press machine, all legs actually except for calves, squat rack, smith machine and pull up rack.

    I feel ya man.. i asked several months back about some things i could so at home as far as lifting goes without access to a gym or weights.. or which hand weights i could even buy to start out, and what i should start out doing.. ive never lifted in my entire life.. unless ice cream counted! and not a single soul replied.. i commented on my own thread THREE times.. NADA! At least you got a few replies... I wish i could help ya.. but maybe someone will help me through your thread also!

    Good luck & best wishes with your deployment! If you would like a care package, send me your address! I send several throughout the year to soldiers! =)

    Take care! ~Heather

    I have never seen that variation of PHAT. I think the one that has lower hypertrophy in between shoulders/back and Chest and Arms would be the better split.

    A few suggestions:
    The already mentioned PHAT
    5/3/1
    20 rep squat
    Upper/Lower with one day being strength based for upper and lower and the next being hypertrophy based for upper/lower
    Texas Method

    all solid choices. my own routine is a lot closer to PHUL/PHAT than Layne's because there's no way I'm going 5 days. I always post that one anyone because 1. I like the principles and it's explained well 2. it's not SL/SS/-5/3/1 3. it's literally the only link I have.

    Not very many people know how to successfully strength train without weights beyond the noob stage.
