Ok so I've really been putting alot of thought on my weight schedule this summer. I looked at almost every program out there, and made up some of my own to take into consideration.
Now I'm not in the most perfect of situations, I'm going to be cross country running the same days I lift, practically right afterwards. What happens is, I get dropped off at the gym at 7ish, then work out until around nine, then I walk over to the school which is almost next door to the gym. I then stretch and run with the cross country team. Now I know this will affect my weight lifting progress, by alot. But I need to compromise with this.
So I was thinking about what I need, Upper body strength, lower body strength, and overall dynamic strength. I can get this done with a modified WSFSB:III form that looks like this...
Monday- max effort upper body
Tuesday- rest
Wednesday- Dynamic effort total body
Thursday- rest
Friday- max effort lower body
So I'm just looking for opinions on a routine like this, because I'm very inexperienced in this field, and just want to know what people are thinking. I'm not a curl monkey, and I don't usually do isolation exercises like tricep pulldowns and the like.
I've narrowed it down to something sort of like this routine here or Bill Starr's 5x5 primer like in the FAQ.
Any input is greatly appreciated and I take constructive criticism (that means I don't bitch about being flamed)
