I am confused about a few of the exercises in Schteevie's bulking program from his sticky. To make things simpler I will repost the exercises/days, with my questions below each exercise in bold (I removed a couple and compressed it into 3 days, but it is basically the same).


Day 1: Chest/Triceps

flat bench press
- warm up x 3-4 sets
3x6-8

Incline bench (30 degress)
3x6-8

weighted dips
- warm up (on "dip assist machine") 1 set
3x6-8
Regular or tricep dips?

close grip bench press
3x6-8

cable tri extension
2x6-8

Day 2: Legs/calves/shoulders/traps
No Questions here



Day 3: Back/Biceps/forearms

pull-ups
(warm-up with lat pull down) 3-4 sets
3x6-8

one arm dumb bell row
warm-up - 1 set
3x6-8

standing bar bell curls (EZ bar)
3x6-8

standing reverse hammer curls (fore arm)
3x6-8

seated fore arm curls (forearm on leg)
3x6-8
What exercise are you referring to here?

close grip pull ups (chin-ups)
2x6-8
Is this with palms facing toward the face or palms facing away from the face? When you say close grip, do you mean hands very close to one another?

Regular or tricep dips?

I think he's referring to dips with an empahasis on chest. Either way the triceps will still get worked.

What exercise are you referring to here?
Barbell wrist curls with your arms placed on your legs for isolation. I wouldn't worry too much about these....I'd much rather see another lift for back on this day instead of a forearm specific movement. Try deadlifts....those will get your forearms working.

Is this with palms facing toward the face or palms facing away from the face? When you say close grip, do you mean hands very close to one another?

Normal chins are typically palms facing you, hand shoulder-width apart.

In general-
Remember, there's a ton of different lifting programs out there, and this is just one example. Find what works best for you.

Hope this helped!
