I downloaded the "Strong" app and added all those workouts.
Created 2 routines: "A Day" and "B Day"
Added all the workouts with initial weights.
A Day (upper body)
Overhead dumbbell press 2 sets 8-13 reps
Wide grip rack chins (with straps) 3 sets 8-13 reps
Dumbbell bench press 3 sets 11-15 reps
Preacher curls 2 sets 5-10 reps
Lateral raises 3 sets 11-15 reps
Kroc dumbell rows 2 sets 25-40 reps
B day (legs, core)
Rack pull deadlifts with a shrug (pull the bar up over your junk and hold it for 5 seconds at the top)
3 sets 5-8 reps
Bb squats 2 sets 6-10 reps, 1 set 18-20 reps using 60% of what you used on your first two sets.
3 sets of planks held for 1-2 minutes.
Now my question is:
Should I stick to the same weights the sets? Or up the weight after the 1st set and lower the reps (within the given rep range).
I usually up the weight after every set, BUT, since I'm doing split days, I'll be doing the workouts more frequently, so I guess it would make sense to stick to one weight for 1 day and see if I can hit the far end of the rep range the next, if so, then up the weight.
