Change

It is definately time for a change for me. I have been on my full body routine for a very long time (way too long), and I think my body had adapted to it quite a few months ago. I guess I was just afraid to leave this program as it worked at the start and maybe my new routine would be a useless waste of time. However, I know my body needs a change in order to progress and even if my new routine is'nt that good I can always tweak a few things to make it work for me.
I know the outline of what I am going to do, but there are a few things I am still thinking about....maybe nows the best time to put it together actually, seeing as I am at the gym tomorrow!
Well here is the layout:

Monday - Upper 1
BB Bench Press
Chin Up
BB Standing Press
Hang Cleans
Dips
Tuesday - Lower 1
Back Squat
Deadlift (standing on plates)
Split Squat
Leg Press/Calf Raise
Leg Curl
Wedensday - Upper 2
DB Bench Press (incline)
Pull Up
DB Seated Press
BO Row
Dips (wide grip)
Friday - Lower 2
Back Squat
Good Morning
Front Box Squat
Cleans
Leg Curl

As you may see, there are alot the same exercises for the different upper/lower days. This is because I am going to work with some light sets (8-10 reps) on one day and do heavy sets (3-5 reps) on the other. I havn't yet decided which exercises are going to be heavy/light, but I can easily decide when I am about to do them depending on how I feel.
Leg curls are in there twice as I feel I need to do some extra work on my Hamstrings. Usually if I ever attempted leg curls my leg would cramp, this leads me to believe there may be an imbalance there, and it is also the reason I will be starting very light on these.
Anyways, well see how my first week goes and see if I want to change anything. Until then, good night and god speed
