It's got a weight section but nowt special
 


Kid I train with wants to take two weeks off but training well at the minute will probably take a week but dont want to really! Anyone else in this boat? Its surprised me been training a year and loving it
 
Is there anything obvious thats wrong with this routine? 5x5 style so training Monday Wednesday Friday alternating between workout A and B

I just mean have I got anything in the wrong workout or does it not really matter?

A) Squats, barbell row, shoulder press, barbell curls

B) Squats, Bench press, skull crushers, deadlifts.

Might have a week off what with travelling/gym opening times over the festive period.

A) Squat, Bench, Row

B) Squat, Press, Deadlift

Yes the order matters to an extent. But not as much as not doing them. Not sure about the accessories but I'd save them for after the main lifts.

Just for this instance which ones would you put the accessories on?

The nearest thing I can think of to what you're doing is Jason Blaha's version of 5x5 which will see you doing tricep/bicep assistance on the same day. Which is on day A & B.

Dependent on your goal swapping them for other assistance work might be an idea. But it's all personal preference at the end of the day. Assistance is just that... assistance for the main lifts.

I was just wanting to add 1 bicep and 1 tricep specific exercise along with the 5x5 stuff.

Not looking to train them both 3 times a week but I'll have a look at Blahas and see what its like.

Cheers for the advice mate.

Just a question for you all, if you can help me out at all ?

Sometimes when I bench I get an electric shock type feeling shooting down my upper arm, somewhere around the tricep area.

Do I have bad aids? If not what it is ?
 
Need to buy a CPAP machine I think. Going to rent one for a month and see if I feel much better

Both or just one? Do you arch your back so you're on your upper back?

During or after?
