    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.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    Basically, that's what I had in mind.

    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!
