need some split advice

DroppinBombs11 · 01-12-2005, 07:05 PM

the situation that i am having to deal with is this. because of work and my other commitments, i somehow have to figure out a new routine that i can accomplish in 3 days instead of my normal 5. the kicker is that the 3 days are now gonna be Tues, Wed, Thurs. is there any way to break it down where it can still be effective lifting on 3 consecutive days, or am i SOL at this point? if anyone could provide a little insight i wouls appreciate it greatly. thanks.

It sucks having to lift 3 consecutive days in any circumstances. However, doing your whole body in 3 consecutive days is even worse.

Cant you take away one of those days and stick it on the weekend?

i might be able to later on, but as of right now that is the hand i am dealt. unless it would be better to try to do it in 2 days with a day break in between. hopefully, this will not last more than a couple months, but at this point i have no choice.

I'd try and do All Legs one day, Chest, tri's and shoulders one day, and back and bi's one day. Thats what i do, but i dont do them on consectutive days but it may work and maybe do your ab's the first and thrid day or just once a week

I would do chest/tri's/shoulders on Tue.

Legs (quads/hammies/calves) Wed.

Back/Bi's/traps on Thu.

Something like that. Then you've got 4 days to rest, which you'd need LOL.

i appreciate the input guys. really not how i want to do it, but i do not want to stop for two more months. just finally got my elbow and back feeling well enough to start again. figured it would be better to take what i can than do nothing at all.

and i guess maybe throw the abs in on Wed or something. guess i will just have to feel it out and see what works.

	What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)
