It is fairly understandable that humans avoid extremely difficult tasks. We perform the exercises we prefer. We design workouts that play to our strengths and ignore our weaknesses. And the most effective workout for me are the ones that I devised. My secret? I follow the same course of action I use to write workouts for my clients. Guide yourself with them, and you will create a custom routine that can have you looking stronger.
1. What Exercises should I include?
DEADLIFT (1 or 2 times a week)
Includes traditional barbell deadlifts (arms outside legs), sumo-style (wide stance, arms inside legs) and straight-leg lifts, and more variations than most of us could do in a lifetime.
SQUAT (1 or 2 times a week)
Includes barbell back and front squats and all the dumbbell variations.
SINGLE LEG (2 or 3 times a week)
Includes lunges; deadlifts with body weight, a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells.
HORIZONTAL PUSH (2 times a week)
This includes: the bench press with barbell or dumbbells; dips; and all their variations.
HORIZONTAL PULL (2 or 3 times a week)
You can perform horizontal routines. So if you're doing a seated cable row or a bent-over dumbbell row, it's still considered a horizontal pull. This category also includes face pulls and inverted rows.
VERTICAL PUSH (0 or 1 time a week)
Includes all the variations of the shoulder press.
VERTICAL PULL (1 or 2 times a week)
Includes chinups, pullups, and lat pulldowns.
2. What should I do initially?
The first routine that needs more power should be the one to be performed first. If your objective is overall vigor, begin one workout with a squat and another with a dead lift, and separate them as much as possible. You can tweak your blue print to accomodate the changes that you want to have. On Wednesday, you could start with an upper-body exercise. If your main goal is upper-body size, do the reverse and start your Monday and Friday workouts with upper-body exercises.
3. How many sets?
The key is to deal with the total volume of each workout. That is not a standard number. It is possible to yield results with less or more volume that the said value. Nevertheless, it is a superior yardstick for most men, most of the time.
4. How will I make progress?
Power
One way to measure progress in terms of strength is the progression of weight increase, Let's say you're doing 5 sets of 3 reps of the front squat. In the first week, you use 135 pounds for your fourth and fifth sets. The second week, you might go up to 155 pounds for the final sets.
Size
Muscles grow larger when you make them stronger, which is easy adequate to comprehend even if it's sometimes hard to pull off. They grow because of the effort you exerted. This is possible by constantly increasing your reps or sets.
Let us say you are doing the barbell incline bench press. You start with 4 sets of 6. For the first week, you should see steady increases in strength simply by adding more weight to the bar. When you are already feeling the easeness of the routine, and you realize that there is no challenge anymore, simply add more reps or weights. Or you could add a fifth set. That gives you more total work, which should lead to larger muscles.
5. How can I keep my plan new?
Your workouts will turn boring maybe even counterproductive if you don't revise them every 4 to 6 weeks. You have two ways to keep them challenging.
1. Revise the order.. If you've been doing 3 sets of 10 reps of the final exercise in a workout, try doing it first, using heavier weights for 5 sets of 3 reps.
2. Tweak the routine in every category.
It is imperative to pace yourself in between programs to facilitate growth and recovery. You don't need to take the week off; just use that week to do less-fewer sets, lighter weights. You will likely find that this "rest" helps boost future gains. In addition, it is especially imperative if you are feeling beaten up and run-down.
Lastly: The sure fire way to increase strength and grow larger muscle is to put in a lot of effort. No pain, no gain. Until then, the best-written tactics are just pieces of paper in your gym bag.
