I am trying to find a simple no nonsense program for building full body strength and muscle. I have been doing classical hypertrophy/strength training with dumbbells and barbell for about six months. It is clearly working since I gained 14 lbs and a lot of strength in the first two months but it absolutely bores me to tears!
The program I'm following involves both compound and isolation lifts, its working but there's just to many different exercises and takes forever to complete. What is your best effective full body program for strength and size? I looked in "Beyond Bodybuilding" and read about fatigue cycling programs like this one:
Workout A Workout B
1. Deadlift 3x3 1. Clean and press 5x5
2. Weighted dips 5x5 2. Weighted pullups 5x5
3. Clean and press 5x5 3. Deadlift 3x3
4. Weighted pullups 5x5 4. Weighted dips 5x5
I am also in a different situation now where I am travelling a bit more so something like the above would be easier to do when I don't have as much equipment.
