My Workout Philosophy View My Full Workout Program

My Workout Program is the Push-Pull approach and I train a muscle group once a week.

"My Workout Program is the Push-Pull approach and I train a muscle group once a week."

My routine is three workouts per week. I train a muscle group once a week alternating between a heavy week and a moderate week.
Heavy Week
The emphasis is on myofibrillar hypertrophy training. The compound exercises are done in 3 to 4 sets with reps ranging from 6 to 8. The rest interval between sets is long enough to recover for maximum effort for the next set.  The isolation exercises sets vary from 4 to 6 with reps in the 12 to 15 reps with rest between sets is long enough for breathing to return to near normal.  My workouts are based on concentrating on training the muscular system and not the cardiovascular system.  The latter is reserved for my steady state cardio sessions.  The number of exercises per muscle group is limited to two or three exercises. I can concentrate on maximum effort on a few exercises rather than reserving energy to pace through a series of exercises.
 
The upper body is trained in Push-Pull fashion. Given this approach to training the muscles of the arms are trained last and require only one exercise due to the muscles assisting in the compound exercises for other muscle groups.


Day one

Quadriceps
    Full Squats
    Front Squat
    Leg Extensions

Hamstrings
    Barbell Romanian Deadlift
    Lying Leg Curls

Glutes   
    Barbell Hip Thrust

Calves
    Donkey Machine Calf Raise
    Seated Calf Raise

Day Two

Chest   
    Supine Barbell Bench Press   
    Reverse Grip Dumbbell Bench Press
    Cable Crossovers

Shoulders
    Seated Dumbbell Press
    Prone Incline Bench Dumbbell Hang and Swing
    Dumbbell Side Lateral

Triceps
    Close Grip Bench Press

Day Three

Back
    Pendlay Barbell Row
    Front Grip Pull-up or V-Grid Pull-up
    Seated lever Pullover (homemade device)

Traps
    Barbell Shrug
    Prone Incline bench Dumbbell Shrug

Biceps
    Barbell Curl

Abs
    Rope Crunch
    Vertical Leg Raise

 

Moderate Week
The emphasis is on Sarcoplasmic hypertrophy training. The number of sets for the compound exercises remains the same as for the heavy week, but the range of reps is increased to 12 to high as 20. The poundage is reduced to allow the higher reps.  The rest interval between sets is determined by the same approach used for the isolation exercises mentioned in the heavy week.

Day one

Quadriceps
    Platform Hip Belt Squat (homemade apparatus)
    Seated Cable Unilateral Leg Extension (homemade apparatus)

Hamstrings
    Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift
    Seated Cable Unilateral Leg Curl (homemade apparatus)

Glutes
    Cable Hip Extensions

Calves
    Donkey Machine Calf Raise


Day Two

Chest
    Reverse Grip Dumbbell  Bench Press   
    Parallel Bar Dip
    Supine Dumbbell fly

Shoulders
    Seated Behind Neck Roller Bar Press (Homemade device)
    Cable Unilateral Side Lateral   
    Cable Unilateral Posterior Delts Lateral

Triceps
    Cable Rope Pulldown

Day Three
   
Back
    Seated Low Pull Row
    Lat Pulldown
    End of Bar Row

Traps
    Dumbbell Shrug

Biceps
    Preacher Curl

Abs
    Abs Roller

This is my basis routine for the spring and summer of 2012 with little variations.      I do change my routine a few weeks before a contest.  I change from the Push-Pull training to concentrate on training chest and back muscle groups on the same day.

AmazingAt60plus
AmazingAt60plus Good to hear from you, Jerry. Glad your training is going well. I, too, am on track. As lean right now (10 weeks out) as I was last year with only two weeks to go. Should allow me to get as lean as I want and still be able to come in full (not depleted, a mistake I made last year, big time). I am still glad, however, that I am a lightweight and don't have to slug it out with you in the same weight class! Wouldn't mind it in the finals, though. That would be good news for both of us.

AmazingAt60plus
AmazingAt60plus Hi Jerry. How is your training going for the Masters Nats? As we get within the twelve-week window, everything about the training, diet and cardio goes up a notch. It's tough but also exciting at the same time, don't you think? (Looking forward to meeting you in person.) Regards, Tony DiCosta Apr 25, 2012 10:38pm

Buka Hey Jerry I have a pretty fast metabolism. I do steady state cardio on a variety of cardio equipment. Usually after my weight training. Anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes seems to be good for me. Apr 3, 2012 7:02pm

OutOfStep Yeah, the noobs ask the same stuff over and over again. I ususally don't bother. Apr 2, 2012 11:05am

guest Jerry, I'm almost 64, and have been lifting at least three days per week since 1958. Only a few layoffs of a week or so. I did a routine like yours for about twenty years. Lately I keep the reps high to avoid injury. For instance three sets of dips, thirty reps each. Same with pullups. If I add weight I'll blow out my shoulders. I'm not a bodybuilder -- just an exerciser. Like you, I do hip-belt squats. Mar 31, 2012 9:27pm

AlphaSaiyan Thanks, I appreciate that you liked my post. I thought it was important to say because it's such a common misconception really. Good luck with lifting. Jan 1, 2012 11:32am
HoustonTXMuscle
HoustonTXMuscle Just a note to thank you for adding me to the list of members that inspire you. I am humbled, yet most appreciative. Despite similar remarks by others, I don't see myself in quite that way. Am proud of losing the 100+ lbs, getting my bf down and staying fit, yet at the same time when I've competed in NPC show, I keep asking "what am I doing here? I'm not even in the same league." Best wishes for the holiday season and coming New Year and again, thank you. Bob Dec 25, 2011 6:16pm

AmazingAt60plus Glad you enjoyed my article, Jerry. You know, I have always thought that you had the best over-60 physique on Bodyspace. As far as meeting at the 2012 Masters Nats...I had actually hoped to NEVER run into you in any show I was competing in! (LOL.) But seriously, wouldn't it be great to run into each other in the Over-60 finals? Nov 10, 2011 4:03pm
