I am interested in a new routine........

djrx06 · 11-19-2003, 07:52 AM

Any suggestions?? Any advice would be helpful.
I was training for a while to gain some serious weight about a year ago. I put on a good 30lbs. I jumped from 195lb. to about 225lb. My training consisted of very low reps (6-10) with heavy weight. I relied on my diet to bulk up but yet try and stay "somewhat" lean. After changing my workout several times, 2 months ago I decided to do a form of High Intensity training. I basically dropped the weight considerably and stayed within the 15-20 rep range. I minimized the time between sets and excercises to get a form of cardiovascular training while lifting as well. I have dropped 20 lbs. I am looking leaner than ever but my body is drained and I am looking for a new workout with some new goals. I would like to maintain my weight maybe shred down to 200 or 195. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

My current split:

M - Chest/Tri's
T - Legs/Abs
W - Cardio
Th - Back/Bi's
F - Shoulders
S - Off
Sun - Cardio (Morning/Evening)

My body feels drained. I think I have reached the point of over working myself. Hence the desire for a change.

Your probably hitting a sticking point because you havent changed up your routine or exercises.

I would suggest

Chest and Quads
Back and Rear Delts
Shoulders and Abs
Arms and Booty

Well in that case I will apply the new split.....Do you have any recommendations for the days in which I will work on those body parts?? Sets/Reps??

Thanks by the way......

i would work with a 2 day on 1 day off cycle.
as a general rule work 3 sets of 6-8 for building a body part and 3 sets of 10-15 for toning a muscle.
i would do the split as its laid out.
post the exercises you usually do and i can find some new ones for you hun.
