I’m working on my workout routine

I keep trying to make my own workout routine but its not working out for me so well. I switch between high-reps and low-reps programs every month. However, I seem to have problems with my low reps. Doing exercises like pulldowns for 5 reps just seems wierd. I’m talking to a good buddy to try and solve my problem to my low-rep program because it’s very hard to stick with. I would also like to increase my bench. It went from 160-200 in a flash but platued right around 210-215 and its not wanting to move for me. Imma go on monday and kick some butt in the gym and get that bench up.

    maybe you can try some max-ot training for certain things like your bench and go with a moderate rep scheme for other things like pulldowns (maybe 8-10 reps? or 6-8 reps?). that might help you get rid of some of the "weirdness."

    Hey bud,
    Personally I try to stay in the 8-12 range for all weights I use. If can do something more than 12 times then I go higher, and if I can only do something 5 times then I make sure I can do a lot of the work with a spot to get to 8. But if i’m bustin balls to get 5 and losing for then it just doesnt work well for me. My bench went from 275 x 1 to 315 x 6 in about 2months because I changed my whole aspect of working out, just be sure pushing yourself everytime you get at the gym and chage the weight up every chance you get.

    The right thing to do is having Goals.
    programs with rep range:
    in 15-20 is for fat loss and muscle tunning.
    around 8- 12 is for muscle growth but in hypertrophy
    1 to 5 rep is for strength training and mass builder. :P

    dont feel weird doing 5 reps. just worry about your progression. keep "adding" weight as soon as you are used to the previews workload. (keep the program simple and short)

    Practising and training major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses,, and snatch and mastering the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, splits, and holds is the best way to BUILD MASS! ^^

    You already have a good physic. just add some more mass at your sholders (and back) and arms.

    good luck
