which routine is better?

Skyliner · 08-25-2001, 11:50 PM

Sample 1:

Monday: Chest/Triceps
Wed: Back/Biceps
Friday: Shoulder/Legs

Sample 2:

Monday: Chest/Biceps
Wed: Legs/Back
Friday: Shoulders/Triceps

Sample 3:

Monday: Chest/Back
Wed: Legs
Friday: Shoulders/Arms

Sample 4:

Monday: Chest/Biceps
Wen: Legs/Shoulders
Friday: Back/Triceps

Sample 5:

Monday: Chest/Triceps/Shoulders
Wed: Back/Biceps
Friday: Legs

Currently I'm sticking with Sample 1, and feel like trying either one of those other samples above for maybe 6-8 weeks. Any suggestions?

------------------
Work hard, play hard, and sleep well.

i prefer the last one, which is a routine which has you do all pushing movements one day (and all muscles involved in), all pulling ones the next, and then legs by itself. reason being, that recovery is better, because you work your delt doing chest, your tric doing chest and delts, so some muscles will never really get a break.
