Personally, don't approve of programs which combine such large group muscles as chest and back together. I know it's antagonistic movements but that is just too much volume for one single workout.
I've already tried this combination and it works great. Remember OVT and what I told you, but you were pussy to try it :D

I'm doing this on Mo,We and Fri, the rest of the days are reserved for Jiu-Jitsu, which means that at the moment I don't have enough time for cardio.

Also I decided to change my leg workout a little bit, I find it 10X10 too demanding at the moment.

I hope you're getting a minimum of eight hours sleep then, if you aren't taking a rest in between workouts like that it can be counter productive. Also that schedule of yours looks heavy on your body, are you taking calcium supplements?

Well I wanted to do GVT, but I'm definitely in no shape for that, so it will have to wait.

I'm sleeping around 7-8 hours, sometimes I sleep an hour during the day, it really depends. And I'm taking Wellman vitamins, even though they are hard to digest, so I will probably switch them with something else.

Do you have some advice, about work-out program or anything else. It's nice to hear some advice from a guy who know stuff, not like Dule :D

Lately i've been cutting off from white carbs after 4pm. I see a major difference in my appearance in terms of definition. I suggested this to my cousins bf who is a professional rugby player & he's getting the same effect. Also when we do our weight session, we do 10min of cardio immediately after that to decrease the body fat percentage.

When i have time, i'll post our weight training schedule here.

I'm really split between many programs, I'm between something like GVT to 5X5 workouts. I really can't find myself anywhere, but my real problem is that I think too much instead of training. I'll try something like I've posted or I'm going to the total opposite direction and doing this:

Monday:

* Olympic Squats: 5X5
* Bench Press: 5X5
* Barbell Rows: 5X5
* Accessory exercises: weighted sit-ups and a tricep exercise (note that these are not compound exercises and are done to simply round out the program. You do not need to follow the same 5X5 protocol as with the exercises stated above and should do 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps).

Wednesday:

* Olympic or Front Squats: 5X5 - note that you can reduce the weight by 25% or so on this day if you are having difficulty with recovering.
* Military Press: 5X5
* Deadlifts: 5X5
* Pull-Ups: 5X5
* Accessory exercises: 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps of a bicep and abdominal exercise


Friday:

* Olympic Squats: 5X5 (same weight as Monday)
* Bench Press: 5X5
* Barbell Row: 5X5
* Accessory exercises: 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps of a tricep and abdominal exercise

I don't think Full Squats or Olympic Squats are your best Squatting exercises as an amateur. Those tend to be heavy on the knees because they focus on your quads. Also, why no deadlifts?

Hey, I'm not amateur :D

I'm definitely doing deadlifts, but I will rotate them with squats, mainly because I think that those two exercises in one training might be too much.

Still I definitely decided to train chests and back, legs and biceps and shoulders triceps, also I will focus mainly on compound exercises with few isolation moves and that should be it.

I have lately totally dropped the weights and I am only focusing on core sessions with body weight and of course running. Next week I will try kettle bells.

I hate that.

I have some dude on facebook who only workouts with kettle bells and I hate it. I hate everything about it and it's probably the thing that annoys me the most in bodybuilding world.

Freakin' kettle bells!

May I know why the hate? Have you tried them or is this just based on your Facebook friend?

kettle bells are supposed to give you a fantastic workout let me know how you get on with them jack
They did give me a fantastic workout and I will do it again. I think I will have pain in every inch in my body tomorrow but it was all worth it.
