Dave's Reeve's Classic Remix
 

Okay, I'm going to apologize immediately to glwanabe and Carl for bastardizing this program.....

Sorry guys, but I've recently recovered from Tricep Tendonitis on the left elbow, and am going to limit it to 6 sets or less of any type of elbow extension move. (Press, Pushdown, Pulldown)until I feel it's no longer an issue. (Fingers Crossed)

I've made some substitutions, highlighted in RED, to see if I can keep gains coming in size and strength without being reinjured.

Let me know what you think:

Day 1:
Squats 3 x 8
BB Rows 3 x 8
DB Shoulder Laterals 3 x 8
Bench Press 3 x 8
DB Curls 3 x 8
Tricep Pushdowns 3 x 8
Seated Calf Raises 3 x 15
Decline Crunch 3 x 12

Day 2:
Squats 3 x 10
BB rows 3 x 10
DB Shoulder Press 3 x 10
Cable Cross/Fly Machine 3 x 10
Barbell Curls 3 x 10
Tricep Pulldowns (Underhand Grip) 3 x 10
Smith Machine Calf Raises 3 x 15
Cable Crunches 3 x 12

Day 3:
Goblet Squats 3 x 12
Deadlifts 3 x 5
DB Shoulder Laterals 3 x 12
Bench Press 3 x 12
DB Curls 3 x 12
Tricep Dips 3 x AMAP =>12
Seated Calf Raises 3 x 15
Hanging Leg Raises 3 x 15

Most of you that follow my routines will be shocked that there are no Super Sets! :p

Probably will launch on Monday, December 5th.

Wish me luck!

Dave

Great to see you back training again Dave. Smash it!

LtL

You got to do what you got to do.

Best of luck. These style of workouts usually make me want supersets instead. :mh:

looking good Dave, good to see you back at it :)

CArl.

Good start Dave. Survive, then thrive.
