id take the shake before work out too but thats u r choice

You listed 5 days including a day off. Does that mean you will have a 4-1 ratio to all of your workouts? That's not even 2 days of rest in a week. Also, you have neglected deadlifts from your back routine and squats / leg presses from your workout. This is a bad idea in my opinion. You're also doing a really high number of sets (28 for your first workout); this may not be a great idea, paticularly considering how often you are working out. Good luck.

[dms2425]

oh yeah its Day 1 and 2 workout then rest, then day 3 and 4 then Rest. 2 days I workout and 1 I rest. 2-1 ratio

[dms2425]

oh and I'm going to do only 6 sets for biceps instead of 9

[Duncans Donuts]

I'd recommend doing squats and deadlifts as the primary backbone of your routine. Go easy on the sets, and as you progress, maybe cut out an exercise here and there to avoid overtraining. At the beginning you can get away with a lot of volume, but as you progress, you'd be well advised to taper it down,

[dms2425]

ok thx for the help, anything else anyone?

[soxmuscle]

I don't understand why you can't just do a 5-6 day split in which you hit each muscle group each day.

I don't buy into that back, biceps, chest crap unless your a beginner. Thats what I used to do and although it was a good beginning workout for the first few months of my intense lifting days, I highly recommend a split that accomodates one muscle group each day.

[dms2425]

ok lets say I do each day for a muscle, If I only workout biceps in 1 day, how many sets would you say I should do for a small muscle like that one?
