Reply With QuoteIMO ... 6 days is too much considering all the sets you are doing. Try something like this instead:
Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Shoulders/Bi
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Chest/Tri
Friday - Back
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off or REPEAT

I need input for a 6-day routine
I'm currently following this routine at the gym :
Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Shoulders/Bi
Wednesday - Chest
Thursday - Back/Tri
Friday - Legs
Saturday - All upper body
Sunday - Usually off, but if I have time to kill before Pats game I do a ton of cardio and light lifting
I need help guys. I don't know if I should be doing a certain muscle group more than 1 time a week. Also, I don't know if my combination of muscle groups are a good fit. Any suggestions?
Edit: I workout for about an hour and a half a day. I usually do 3-4 sets per exercise with reps of 12,10,10 (If i do a 4th set, I do very light about 12-15 times)

Agreed! Unless you are a pro or on lotsa steroids or do not have to work or go to school, make 4 sessions per week in the gym your limit!

Amen to that...
6 days @ 1.5 hours...you'll be lucky if you don't lose whatever amount of muscle you have unless you are juiced like whoa"in the howling bleeding nights, the dogs plunge into the Volga and swim desperately to gain the other bank. The nights of Stalingrad are a terror for them. Animals flee this hell; the hardest stones cannot bear it for long; only men endure."

nothing wrong with 6 days a week as long as your not overtraining, but at 1.5 hours per workout (provided you are natural) chances are that you are training a little too much
either cut it down to 4 days like the rest have said, or cut down your workout times to 30-40mins per session
peace

6 days a week is ridiculous IMO because you don't grow in the gym, you grow when your body can metabolize the changes that were instigated during the workout itself

Thanks for the feedback guys. Also, I am in school, but am not playing a winter sport so I do have a lot of time on my hands. I prefer to go to the gym 6 times a week, so could I just do all cardio on 2 of my "off" days, or will that be just as bad as before?

Perfect...train with weights 4 days per week and do some cardio for 2 other days. As DD says, you do not grow in the gym...you grow while at rest. Don't dig a hole so deep that you can't fill it with dirt and pile more on top...understand? Originally Posted by reg56
