Build Your Own Training Program

I favor full-body workouts for a variety of reasons, not least of which is efficiency and efficacy. I also favor multi-joint movements over isolation movements. So when I construct a program for myself, these are my primary concerns: good use of time, little or no isolation work, go heavy, use supersets, and limit use of machines if possible (this is rough in a "family gym," like Bally, that isn't designed for serious lifting).

Tony Gentilcore, writing at T-Nation, has put together an article that uses the basic theory that I favor and will help you build a solid program on your own. He also provides a sample program so you can see what it might look like.
