need some quick ideas on lifting routine

[Titan]

Hi all, I need to email my trainer by this afternoon so I could use some quick ideas on lifts and exercises to do. My workout journal is in this forum if people need to reference details.

I've been building up core strength a bit. I am at a point where I'm getting bored with my routine and need a new one that is more flexible so I can plan my social life around it. I plan to do it in the morning, but possibly in the evening if I miss out.

I discussed it with the trainer last night and he want me to send him a list of suggested lifts that I am interested in. The minimum plan is 3 60-90 minute workouts a week, with optional ones when I feel like it. We threw the idea out there of doing different days, but we might end up having a dalily staple like squats and do different things different days.

Problem is I don't know what I want to do. I haven't power lifted before. I'm thinking I should just say the five power lifts.

Squats
Deadlifts
Bench Press
Power Cleans
Overhead press

I'm moving to a university gym that has 6 power racks so I am stoked. I need to find my starting weights which won't be high. But I can build up quick.

This is part of my fat loss program. Considerations am I am tall, have had some minor lower back issues, but I have kept them in check with core work.

Any better ideas?

I wouldn't forget that for each pushing motion, you should have a pulling motion. I would add some form of pullup, whether it be weighted, unweighted, jumping, aided, etc. Other than that, those movements will get you places, most definitely. Be sure to perfect your form with DL and power cleans since you have minor back probs. We don't want those getting any worse

No need to reinvent the wheel. Just get a copy of Starting Strength, do the routine described inside and use the books excellent instructions to learn all the lifts. Alternatively, Stronglifts 5x5 is a similar routine and the website a free resource. Start at low weights, work very hard on your technique, and build up gradually. These routines will strengthen your "core", as well as every other muscle in your body.
