Re: Does this look good? If not help me tweak it

Tell us all you're joking about the 'being a doctor' comment before I flame the **** out of you. Please...you being a doctor lets you know that he's not going to like this split? Just like that?? Please. Don't go throwing around that doctor comment if you're not. Some of us have actually worked hard to earn that title.

Haha..relax bro..the kid is what 19..20 yrs old I'm im not mistaken..


Anyways.. I have 2 say I dont like your workout routine.. all that "light" part is not clickin' with me..

Stick with simple ****:

MON: CHEST AND TRICEPS OR BICEPS
TUE: SHOULDERS AND BICEPS OR TRICEPS
WED: OFF
THU: BACK, CALVES
FRI: HAMS, QUADS
SAT: OFF OR CARDIO
SUN: OFF OR DARDIO..

This works best for me.. it gives me enough time 2 rest..and get the job done.

Re: Does this look good? If not help me tweak it

that totally makes sense. The reason for doing shoulders/traps in one day is because there my weak point. My arms and legs and chest and back are good. I do traps on shoulder days cuase by the end of a heavy back workout my grip is gone. What if i were to switch it and do tri/shoulder/traps and then legs/bis?

I see. Considering those are your weak areas, then I totally understand. Here's a trick you can try to get those stubborn areas to grow. What you do is follow your normal routine except when you get to the stubborn muscles, you kill them like normal and then you go in the very next day and kill that same stubborn area again. Yes, hit your stubborn areas back to back. Do this for one month and then go back to normal. This should push those muscle towards the over trianing point and as soon as you drop back to once a week, they should begin to recover and grow. Give 2 months of regular training before doing it again. That would allow you to do this 4 times a year. That should get them caught up with actually over training them. You can, and I recommend this, skip them totally the week after you finish the over load phase. This will speed up the recovery process. So, 4 weeks of over load, 1 week skip, 7 weeks of normal frequency, then do it again.

Re: Does this look good? If not help me tweak it

I would try to keep at least 2 off days.
My current routine looks like this.

Mon- chest/tris/calves/abs
tues- back/ bis
wed- off
thurs- shoulders/calves/abs
fri- legs/forearms
sat- off
sun- off

I'm thinking of going to a push, pull, legs routine. On Mon,Wed, Fri. Not sure yet.

Re: Does this look good? If not help me tweak it

Yes it looks like alot but my volume is relatively low. I only do 4 working sets for chest and 5 for tris. Low volume, high intensity. I used to do many more sets and gained nothing. Lowered my volume and things started working nicely. Now this works well for ME. I don't know enough about you so no this probably won't work for you. The right volume and intensity for each individual is very difficult to find.

Re: Does this look good? If not help me tweak it

yeah i think ill start out with one bodypart per week see how i handle it, if it doesnt work ill change up volume/intensity accordingly
