Workout A Squat 3x5 Bench 3x10 Deadlift 4x6 Dips 4x6 Abs Workout B Front Squat 3x5 Incline Bench 3x10 Military press 4x6 Power Clean 5x3 Abs Week 1 Tuesday A Thursday B Saturday A Week 2 Tue B Thur B Sat A etc I've been doing Mark Rippetoes starting strength routine for the past 5 months and now I'm trying to shift to a more hypertrophy/strength routine then just straight strength lifting, but I'm unsure if this is too much with all of the extra reps and whatnot. Some advice would be appreciated.
Do what Rippetoe's program says, but instead of 5x5, do 4x8-10. You don't "need" to add a load of stuff. And size will be in line with the amount of extra good food you're getting. At 5 months of lifting, food will get you bigger than any extra reps really.
I thought about doing that, but I really want to have incline bench and front squats in my routine, mostly because those are lifts they measure for football at my school and I am terrible at them.
Do front squats or back squats. do incline or flat bench. One week do one, one week the other. Rotate. do: deadlifts front squats OR power cleans CORE incline bench military press dips CORE
Ok, I see what you're saying. Keep the original routine, but alternate front squats and incline bench.
