Below is a cool routine I found that is similar to something that I have been doing for a while. It is based on red muscle fibers which need more sets, more reps with a low weight and white muscle fibers that need lower sets lower reps and more wight. Really a good routine.
The S.A.I.S. Training Program
Based on these findings, the Nutrex Research Group developed the following S.A.I.S. Training Program, which is to be performed over a 6-week period:
Monday: Chest, biceps
| Bench press (free weights, barbell) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Incline press (free weights, barbell) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| Vertical bench press (machine) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch red muscle fibers) |
| Barbell curls (shoulder wide grip) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Dumbbell curls (seated) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| EZ-barbell curls (narrow grip) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch red muscle fibers) |
Tuesday: Legs
| Squats (free weights, barbell) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Leg press (machine) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| Hack squats (machine) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch muscle fibers) |
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Shoulders, triceps
| Behind the neck press (free weights, barbell) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Standing upright rows (free weights, EZ-barbell) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| Front overhead press (machine) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch red muscle fibers) |
| Lying triceps press (free weights, EZ-barbell) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Overhead triceps press (free weights, EZ-barbell) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| Triceps pushdown (machine, cable) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch red muscle fibers) |

| Front latpulldown (machine, shoulder wide grip) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Seated cable rows (machine, narrow grip) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| Dumbbell rows (one arm at a time) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch red muscle fibers) |
| Standing calf raises (machine) | 3 sets | 6 reps | (fast-twitch white muscle fibers) |
| Seated calf raises (machine) | 2 sets | 10 reps | (intermediate muscle fibers) |
| Bend-over calf raises (machine) | 1 set | 20 reps | (slow-twitch red muscle fibers) |
