Hi guys,
So I've been lifting weight for about half a year, following stronglifts. I guess I'm still considered pretty much a beginner while I can only squat just a bit more than my body weight. So far my strength gain is really a lot but still no where near enough. But I'd like to move into a different routine, with more emphasis on body building, instead of strength, and also more focus for my upper body and achieving hypertrophy at the same time.
I'm thinking of the following workout. Hope to have you guys opinions on it.
Mon - Upper body
Tues - Rest
Wed - Lower body
Thurs - Rest
Fri - Upper body
Sat & Sun: rest
Upper body routine:
Overhead press 3x8
Barbell bent-over rows 3x8
Incline dumbbell press 3x8
Dumbell flys 3x8
Bicep curls 3x8
Lower body routine:
Back squat: 3x8
Weighted Calf Raise: 3x8
Leg Press: 3x8
Deadlift: 3x5 (maybe less)
Thanks guys. really appreciate your comments. I don't have any friends with body building experience to talk about this
