Although I change routines often, this is the routine I use most often. I perform one or two warmup sets, increasing the weight each time. My heavy set is taken to failure, where I then perform partial movements, or a static hold for several seconds.
Tuesday: Chest, shoulders and triceps
Benchpress 1x4-8
Close-grip bench 1x6-10
Triceps dip or kick-backs 1x8-12
Barbell press 1x6-10
Dumbell side-lateral 1x6-10
Thursday: Back, biceps and forearms
Dealift or back extensions 1x10-15
Shrugs 1x10-20
Bent rowing 1x6-10
Chins 1x6-12
Barbell curl 1x6-10
Hammer curl 1x8-12
Saturday: Legs
Squats 1x10-20
I do a set of crunches every other workout and stretch at the end of each session.
I train each muscle one time per week. I prefer the split routine over the full-body because I believe you promote growth hormone release each time you train. Doing the three day split promote's more of an anabolic state for your whole body, than doing one full-body workout per week. Performing the split routine also allow's me to put much more into each set than if I were to do sets for the entire body in one workout. It is much easier to focus on giving your all when you are only doing a few quick, hard sets. This way, you get maximum stimulation and anabolic response, with little risk of over-training.

Pleasure vs. Pain
When I listen to a speaker, even if I get just one or two things from them, it’s a success. I don’t expect you to do everything I say, just take the things that work for you. Take a few nuggets and apply them to your life and you’ll start seeing dramatic results. Now the name of this article is Pleasure vs. Pain. If you think about it, there are really only two reasons why we do anything, either it is pleasurable or it is painful. If things cause pleasure, that’s what we tend to move toward. If it causes pain, we move away from it.
