    need some split advice

    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.

    Mike

    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 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.
    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)

    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.
