Notes:

The bigger compound exercises are set to stay inside the 5-8 rep range and gradually increase from Rotations #1-4. This rep range is ideal for both developing strength and mass at the same time. You must however pick a weight that is extremely difficult to get the last rep that is noted in the workout. You should have to give it all you got to get that last rep to see optimal results from this Superman workout plan.

Almost two weeks into this workout plan and I really like it. It hits each muscle group at least twice a week (while still providing ample amount of time between repeating the same bodypart so your muscles are fully recovered and ready to go again). Definitely would recommend this plan if your looking to add size and strength.

    Pretty good workout plan. I tried this one after spending some time on a mostly self-directed powerlifting-style program. (Mostly 5 reps and under with high weights.) A few observations:

    1. It doesn't give your back or legs much of a break if you do Mon-Fri : You do deadlifts on day 1, squat and lower back on day 3, deadlifts again on day 4, and box squats on day 5. That's pretty intense, and hard to keep up if you go heavy at each of those workouts. I might split this to have one of my rest days between workouts #3 and #4.
    2. It's pretty light on upper back development -- just pullups on day 1 and wide-grip pulldowns on day #4. I personally like to add a row (bent-over BB or one-arm DB) to balance this out a bit. Likewise with shoulders -- there's more shoulder work, but I add a little bit on shoulder days.

      Yea I agree, it would definitely be a good idea to take a rest in the middle of the week (between #3 and #4). I usually like to take a middle of the week break in all my workouts. I guess it really depends on how your body is feeling, if your muscles are sore then it is definitely smart to allow your body to recover before trying to tear it down again (your body gets stronger when recovering, not in the gym).

      All workouts can be tweaked to a persons preferences and goals (I personally almost always switch some things when following a workout). Adding in a row isn't a bad idea at all. You do hit your back though more than just with the Pull-Ups and Wide-Grip Pulldowns. Deadlifts are one of the best exercises for building bigger/stronger traps and with a lot of the chest exercises like bench press and push-ups you are also working out your back.

      To add on to what you said - one other modification that I made was to do snatch grip deadlifts in place of regular deadlifts for one of the two per week deadlifting days. I can't go quite as heavy but I definitely feel a different focus on my back and legs.

    I am really liking this workout so far. One positive thing to this workout is that so far it seems to have a really nice mix of different body parts each day so you get a nice pump going :)

    This is workout plan that will definitely have you feeling like superman by the end of it. I saw gains in all areas and was very pleased with what I saw in the gym and physically in the mirror.

    I had to add in some workouts on some days as there are things missing as others have noted or there is more emphasis to one body part or muscle group than than the others. Also added in ab work when I could too. But overall as I said, awesome workout plan and if you stick to the notes and what to do and push yourself, you'll see gains and increases in strength.

    Just a quick question. I should be doing as many or all of the rotations everyday of the workout? So monday I would do workout #1 with all of the rotations?

    thanks.

    I just finished my month on this workout plan, and it was great overall. It hit some new areas for me, just needs some variation in some of the leg exercises I think, as some others mentioned. It was good to mix in some leg press and Romanian deadlifts for me.

    I really saw improvements in the strength of my chest in going from being able to handle 5 depth push-ups the first time I tried them to 3 sets of 10 on my last try = pretty awesome if you ask me!
