I'm not looking to get huge. I want to focus on getting definition in my muscles, work my core and get it defined as well. In addition flexibility and explosive strength are big too. 3-5 days a week to get me into shape again within around 90 days is what I'm looking for.
For explosive strength, the key is in the execution of the rep. Slow on the way down, and explode up with each rep.
As far as your overall goals, I feel that a 12/10/8/6 rep scheme with 4 sets per exercise. You should be starting with lighter weight at the 12 rep point (where the 12th rep is very difficult) and ending with heavy weight for 6 reps (where the 6th rep is extremely difficult). The 5th day is a combination day that focuses on your most lacking exercises and MUST always be the last day of training before your 2 rest days.
Day 1 - Chest/Tris/Abs -
Bench Press, Incline Dumbbell Press, Pec Flies, Close-Grip Bench, Tricep Pulldowns, DB Kickbacks, Hanging Leg Raises, Decline Situps
Day 2 - Back/Bis/Calves -
Barbell Rows, Lat Pulldowns, Cable Rows, Olympic Bar Curls, DB Concentration Curls, DB Seated Hammer Curls, Standing DB Calf Raises, Donkey Calf Raises
Day 3 - Shoulders/Traps/Abs
Standing Overhead Press, Seated DB Shoulder Press, Front/Lat DB Raises (supersets), DB Shrugs, BB Shrugs, Weighted Situips, Roman Chair Situps
Day 4 - Quads/Hams/Calves
Squats, Deadlifts, Leg Press, DB Lunges, Leg Extensions, Leg Curls, BB Calf Raises, Seated Calf Raises.
Day 5 - (Combination Day - focus on exercises that you need the most work on - the below list is JUST a sample - you can make changes as needed)
Decline Press, DB Flies, EZ Bar Curls, Standing DB Curls, Skullcrushers, Rope Pulldowns, T-Bar Rows, Lawnmower Rows, Military Press, DB Shrugs, Hanging Leg Raises.
