Well...I did some more reading today. Instead of leading me further astray I think what I'm going to try and focus on is fairly basic. The difficulty I'm having with program design is that I want to ultimately get much stronger but I still also have an interest in bodybuilding. Now of course size and strength go hand in hand but the biggest are not the strongest and the strongest are not the biggest so specificity of training is hugely important.
I've realized that what I have setup now is a little too diluted when it comes to some isolation exercises. However I do think I still need to keep some and I won't be doing farmers walk or fat bar deadlifts...at least not right now...so I need to find a middle ground.
I want to incorporate heavy high rep sets and triples for squats, deads, bench and mil press. I like the exercises I've choosen for legs/back so I'll keep those.
The days will be setup like this (reps for last set indicated)
Squat 20, Mil 3, DL 3, Bench 10, Squat 3, Mil 10, DL 10, Bench 3 (then Squat 20)
Standing Military Press
Flat Dumbbell Press
Rolling EZ Bar Tricep Ext.
EZ Bar Curl
Dumbbell Laterals
Dips
Standing Calf Raise
Barbell Bench Press
Seated Dumbbell Press
Rolling DB Tricep Ext.
Seated Dumbbell Curl
Dumbbell Laterals
Dips
Standing Calf Raise
I think for dips I want to aim for 20 total reps done with as little rest as possible. Once I get stronger I'll have to buy a dip belt. I would have liked to incorporate biceps into a pulling exercise but I can't because I've split back and biceps.
