Workout plan posted by Natural Pro.
Quote:
Advanced bodybuilders should do two warm up sets (when using heavy weights) for each muscle group worked (doing 10 reps at 50% of the weight to be used and then another 10 reps at 70% of the weight to be used.) Advanced bodybuilders should perform 3 sets per exercise and 3 exercises per muscle group (so 9 sets per muscle group). 6 to 8 reps per set, 30 to 45 seconds rest. Less rest would be higher intensity keeping your heart rate in the fat burning zone.
To advance to this stage you must be able to up your intensity by increasing your weight or decreasing your rest between sets.
Concentration and visualization (see yourself completing the movement) is critical. Because this is a difficult phase of bodybuilding, you must push yourself to achieve the results you want. Vary your exercises to challenge your muscles as well as to avoid feeling stale. And never sacrifice technique for weight!
Group Muscles As Follows:
1. Chest, Shoulders, Triceps
2. Legs: Quads, Hams, Calves
3. Back, Biceps

Is that a good workout plan? It was posted by Todd Opheim, Natural Pro.
And also, what about upping frequency a bit, I mean doing each bodypart once every 5 days.
