    My current workout. Recovery?

    In another thread I posted what my current workout is:

    Monday: Legs
    Tuesday: Chest
    Wednesday: Back
    Thursday: Shoulders
    Friday: bi's and tri's


    To expand, I do 4 exercises for each body part, 3 sets of 10 for each exercise.

    CowPimp noted that there may be a problem with my routine related to recovery. Would appreciate any feedback in this regard.

    you might want to throw a rest day in the middle there so that you aren't wokring out 5 days in a row:

    mon- legs
    tues- chest
    wed- rest
    thurs- back
    fri- delts
    sat- arms

    Listen to P-funk.

    I'm starting to learn that you should work out more than a few days in a row. My chest and shoulders never seem to get a rest (except on leg day) and I've come to believe it's stunting my growth.

    Basically, that's what I had in mind.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...

    Id switch legs and chest. So, chest on monday, legs on tuesday.

    I like to have myday off after legs. Maybe thats just me.

    I would doubt that you would need 12 sets for either biceps or triceps,and after training for only 3 months total,I would advise doing 9 sets for bigger bodyparts and 6 for smaller ones.

    What are you going to do when you become an advanced trainer.............20 sets per bodypart?

    Start offf with less volume,but train harder.

    3 exercises,3 sets each for chest,legs,back,and 2 exercises 3 sets each for shoulders and arms.

    You are most likel;y doing too much at your stage of development!

    Good luck!
