Would like your opinion for either of these 2 routines for my upcoming bulker

I heisted this from T-nation. It looked interesting b/c to be honest I've never done a workout like this ever. I've always done the usual one body part once per week. I think I've made decent gains over the years but I'm still pretty ignorant when it come to working out to my full potential I believe. You guys are way more savvy than I in this respect. I'm planning on hitting a bulker the first of Oct. The goal is more overall mass. My weakest body part are arms by far. Chemcial wise I'll be on for at least 14-16 wks. So I'm assuming if one of these would be good idea to hit it for 6-8 wks and then move on to something else?

They are Bill Starr-style programs that have been fucked with.

Basically, with a full body workout, you're looking at a squat, a pull, and a press. It's balanced, you're training the lower body, the back, and the pressing muscles. The routine is progress driven, meaning you guage progress with weekly increases in weight lifted.

In my opinion, there is just too many unnecessary "twists and tweaks." Like the supersetting with A1 and A2 and timing your rest and all of that stuff. Also, on option B, I'd personally do the assistance work at 2x8-12 instead of 2x5. It is like the author of the routine was like "okay, cool, 5x5, 5 reps, lets write an article and see what we can do to make it a good read." It just seems like typical t Nation to take something perfectly fine as is and tweak it inexplicably for the sake of churning out an article.

Weight selection is extremely important, I haven't seen the original article, but if there is no mention of weight selection, you need to make sure you understand how to implement a 5x5-style program or you'll be miserable in week 2 if you're just gonna go all out 3 days a week.

If you have the urge to train M-W-F- full body workouts, I have had great success with them and recommend them. I think you'd be better served with more of an advanced Bill Starr-inspired setup that stays true to what works about the program. Basically, Mon is your heavy day, Wed is light to add workload, and Fri is a medium day to not only add work, but mentally prep you to hit bigger numbers the following Mon.,

I'd suggest you check out the Bill Starr link here when you've got a free hour or so and once you're familiar you'll be able to "read between the lines" and see what you should take from the 2 above routines and what you may want to scrap.

If you are still thinking of giving it a go, feel free to post something or PM me, I've trained like this a lot over the years, and I think it would be pretty cool to see what kind of gains a physical specimen like yourself could make with this.
