Hello.
New on board. Seems like a cool group. Currently train 3-4 days a week on an upper body - leg/back split routine. Working like a champ too. Been training nearly 30 years. Current routine below:
Upper -
Seated high incline press using a specially made barbell that's akin to a giant triceps bar. It's freaky and heavy. It allows for a parallel grip and really gets the shoulders. 5-6 sets of these
Weighted Dips - 3-5 sets of these
EZ bar Curls - 5x5
Pullover and press with an EZ curl bar - sets and reps until tired
AB work - Roman chair situps
Leg/back -
Squats - 5-7 sets to a heavy set of 10 reps - occasionally I'll also do rack squats from various positions for a few singles, doubles or triples.
Stiff leg deadlifts - 3x8
Calf Raises - 3x15
DB shrugs - 3x15
Weighted Chins - 1-3 sets of as many reps as possible
Roman chair situps
I'm interested in hearing from other trainers in their 40's (like me) who have any advise on training and staying lean and mean.........
Cheers,
JP
