Thread: Can you improve my routine?

I normally do the 4 day split as follows:

Monday Back and biceps
Tuesday Chest and triceps
Wednesday Rest
Thursday Legs: Quadriceps (Quads), hamstrings, and calves
Friday Forearms and shoulders: deltoids (delts) and trapezoid ( traps)
Saturday Rest
Sunday Rest

This seems to work for me,I'm one week in and it's great!

Are you trying to cut? if not you might wanna cut out some of that cardio and split your workout a little more.

hey deeznuts ans uturn,

uturn that sounds like an interesting way to split up the week.

and deez yeah im at about 15% bfp, so im tryin to get down to about 8%. what do u think i should do?

i'm tryin to add lean muscle and lose some flab too.

Finish one bodypart completely before moving on to another.You`re jumping from chest to biceps ,back to chest ,then back.Not good!Then you do quads ,hams,calves then quads again!!!!

tjwes,

yeah i know its different. for example...

on my upper body days, i jump back and forth so i wont burn out right in the middle of my lift.

if i did incline bench, flat bench, and pec dec in a row i would burn out and wouldnt be able to finish strong on the sets. thats why i kinda jump around.

to me i feel like i get a good workout in, because im sore the next day and felt as if i worked the muscles well enough.

Sorness means nothing as far as progress goes.Always concentrate on one bodypart at a time for best results.If you get weaker as the session goes on just reduce the weight on the bar.The body doesn`t have a clue what the weights are poundage wise they only know heavy or light.Work bigger parts first then move down to the s,maller parts.You are not going to make the best progress training like this trust me.Look at anybody else`s routines on this site or other`s as well as in mags and you will see I`m correct.Just trying tro steer you in the right direction friend!

alright tj. I'll take your word for it. thanks i will try the 4 day split routine. if uhave any other advice, send it my way.

What I did while cutting was do a little cardio before and after a workout instead of deadicating a whole day. You're going to get your heart rate going before your workout this way and your heartrate's going to go up faster so by the time I did my post-workout cardio I was sweating hard. This is how I got down to my weight class...might not work for you but it helped me drop a heluvalot of body fat.

Good luck, keep training!
