5 day routine

Charger · 08-03-2001, 11:52 AM

I am going to try a 5 day routine where I work each muscle group once every 5 days instead of once per week.
I am going with 2 exercises per group, 3 sets each,low volume.
I know some of you will think this is over training. Any comments welcome

That's basically what I'm am currently doing, and I don't believe it to be overtraining.
Day 1:Legs
Day 2:Chest/shoulders/Traps
Day 3

ff
Day 4:Lats/Calves/Abs
Day 5

ff
I usually do 2 exercises of 2-4 sets each for the major muscle groups.Every third cycle, I reduce the volume a bit to avoid overtraining.

It would be for me but if it works for you, who cares what other people think? Good luck.

I don't think it's overtraining.
