3 day strength training routine

Zenkei18 Posts: 277 Joined: 2005/06/22	2006/04/14, 12:06 PM I'm trying to gain a lot of strength in the bench press and squat... but I only have 3 days a week to train with gas prices being so high etc etc. I want to know what I could do to make these lifts go up the most plus not neglect any of my other body parts at the same time... auxillary work etc.

I don't do a lot of auxilary work, as I don't have much need for it (what are shrugs going to do that a 400lb+ rack pull wont?) and I don't feel I am neglecting anything. -------------- Iron and chalk. Pain is only temporary, it is in your mind. If you can still walk, then you can still run.

Concentrate on your core movements. This will build the overall muscle belly and build nice strength. Train like this, eat, rest, repeat...you will gain nice strength and muscle size. Save the isolation stuff....does nothing much for building muscle anyway. Stay in the 5-8 rep range for maximum motor recruitment. -------------- Strength and Honor!
