Hey there, im looking for advice for my weightlifting routine, don't worry I read the FAQ a long time ago, I just want to see your opinion on it.
Im 5'9, 160 pounds... I train BJJ 3 times a week, im looking to gain around 5-6kg (I guess that would be around 10-12 pounds) for next summer, I guess thats a realistic goal. Am I wrong?
The thing is im looking to gain size and strength, but im not eliminating the "esthetic" aspect, im not looking to realize a 5x5 routine or a strength only program, I want to gain some lean muscle and size as well, knowing that Diet is the most important aspect. I would train 3 times per week, tuesdays thursdays and saturdays (M-W-F Bjj), my routine consists of a simple 3 day split Pull Push Squat:
ROUTINE A
DAY ONE
Deadlift: 4x10-8-6-4
Pullups: 3x8-6-4 (with weights)
Barbell Row: 3x10-8-6
Dumbbell Alterning Curls: 3x10-8-6
DAY TWO
Bench Press: 4x10-8-6-4
Dips: 3x8-6-4
Inclined Dumbbell Flyes: 3x10-8-6
Triceps Rope Extensions: 3x10-8-6
DAY THREE
Squat: 4x10-8-6-4
Leg Press: 4x10-8-6-4
Overhead Dumbbell Press: 3x8-6-4
Bent Over Rear Deltoid Raises: 3x10-8-6
ROUTINE B
DAY ONE
Deadlift: 4x10-8-6-4
Pullups: 3x8-6-4 (with weights)
Dumbbell Rows: 3x10-8-6
Barbell Curls: 3x10-8-6
DAY TWO
Bench Press: 4x10-8-6-4
Inclined Dumbbell Press: 3x8-6-4
Declined Dumbbell Flyes: 3x10-8-6
Skullcrusher: 3x8-6-4
DAY THREE
Squat: 4x10-8-6-4
Calve Raises: 4x15-12-10-8
Military Press: 3x8-6-4
Lateral Dumbbell Raises: 3x10-8-6
I would spend 6-8 weeks on one routine then switch to the other one. Im hoping some muscle gain will aid me when grappling, and will help avoid injuries while rolling. And will overall benefit me.
Well, what do you think?
PS- I know that there is a low enfasis on the legs in comparison to the other big muscle groups... but the fact is I ride my bike for transportation means daily (im a college student) and I really believe my upperbody needs more work.
