Hi,
I have created a workout that is very similar to the one in this article: (The last routine I did was Max-OT and that was right before swimming began. Now that swimming season is over, I want to go to the gym more often and I also want to try a bit of a different routine than I have done in the past)

Here is my routine:
Day 1
Clean and Press (15 sets of 2 reps)
Curl Grip Chin (15 sets of 2 reps)
Medium-Grip Bench Press (10 sets of 1 rep)
Deadlift (20 sets of 1 rep)
Day 2
Dips (12 sets of 3 reps)
Squat (20 sets of 2 reps)
Bent Rows (12 sets of 2 reps)
Curl and Press (6 sets of 4 reps)
Stiff-Legged Deadlift (15 sets of 1 rep)
Here’s how I am going to do the days:
Monday: Day 1
Tuesday Day 2
Wednesday: Rest
Thursday: Day 1
Friday: Day 2
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Rest
Couple of questions:
- How would one go about warming up for this type of workout?
- What kind of ab work would you add to this? What set/rep range?
Is this a solid routine to follow?
I know it is a little different from the other routines but I want to give it a go. What do you think?
P.S. - I have been lifting for about 6 months seriously before swimming began. My diet is clean right now but I need to up the calorie intake a bit and I will do that.
Thank you
