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)

Squats (free weights, barbell) 3 sets 6 reps (fast-twitch white muscle fibers)
