JBlack is BACK!!!

I AM BACK GUYS!!!!

This site has grown a lot since I have been gone for what 4 months? Feels pretty bad not lifting for 4 months, but usually when I get home from work at 4 (go in at 6), finish my homework, I pretty beat!

I finally got a power rack though today, and am going to put it together right after I post this!

I just wanted your the Muscle and Brawn Crew to help me decide what I should program I should start back up with.

ROUTINE #1

Squat 1x20
Deadlift 1x15
Bench 3x10
Row 3x15
Overhead Press 3x12
Curl 3x10
Sit up BWx20
Some oblique exercise x20

***This program will be done every other day, with increasing the weight each time I nail all the required sets.

ROUTINE #2

A
Squat 3x5
Bench 3x5
Row 3x5
Curl 2x8

B
Deadlift 3x5
Close Grip Bench 3x5
Tricep Pull over 2x8
Reverse Curl 2x8

***This program will be done every other day example, Monday = A, Wednesday = B and Friday = A, with increasing the weight each time I nail all the required set (lower body up 10lbs, upper body 5lbs)

Both are good routines, but I think I might lean towards the 1st routine. It seems since I have been the second program for quite sometime and wanted to switch it up.

I did get some compliments from family members during the holidays that I have gotten stronger!

Welcome back JB. Hope life is treating you well.

I like the first routine, but I would probably limit deadlifts to every Wednesday, or every other day - maybe doing rows on Monday and Friday. I like it because of variety, but mileage may vary.

We also have a fullbody challenge taking place if interested:

My vote is always for the routine you are most motivated to do. (All things equal)

Whaddup man! Good to have you back. I'm really loving the steve reeves routine from the challenge thread so that one gets my vote
