Thread: i think iv wised up a bit about training

this is a sample day

Bench 3 sets 3-6 reps
Shoulder Press 3 sets 3-6 reps
Close Bench 3 set 3-6 reps
Sqaut 3 sets 3-6 reps
Dead lift 3 sets 3-6 reps
Barbell curls 3 sets 6-8 reps

any opinions?

two days later i might change it up like this
incline
side raises
skull crushers
leg press
bent rows
concentration curls

give me your 2 cent fellas.

They say much more than an hour of workout at one given time is overtraining for most. I would say if you can keep your workout within no more than 1.5 hours you should be fine. Outside of that it is tailoring your routine to fit your preferences and goals. For me I do a minimum of 9 sets per muscle group.

From what I see from your program, you may want to consider splitting your routine so that your doing like 2 major muscle groups per day. Then setup a rest day no more than 3 days apart. On this routine that you described you have chest/shoulders/legs/triceps on one day. In my opinion you are speading yourself out to thin. If that is how I am interpretting it anyway. Then make sure you're eating the proper diet and getting at least 1pound of protein per 1lb of bodyweight. Don't consume more than 50 grams of protein in a 2 hour period. Your consumption should be spread out about every 2-3 hours.

well se im gonna do full body routine essentially 3.5 timew a week , and these workouts probobaly will only take me at most 50 minutes.

Your bodybuilding goals dictate how you tailor your routine.
If you're looking to tone then your routine is probably fine, but if you're looking to get big then you are thinning yourself out to much in my opinion. Again though I would setup a routine that incorporates no more than 2 major body parts if you want to focus on size. Here is an example:

day1: biceps/back
day2: chest/shoulders
day3: Legs/triceps
rest
repeat

how mant sets do u suggest then mybe no more that 6-8 set per group for each workout
