Need some help in deciding...
Hey,
I recently injured my lower back so have been off training for a week.
Need to start a new routine tommorow becuase my back has recovered good.
I need help in deciding out of two routines which to pick:
Routine #1: (I configured this personally to give priority to weaker areas)
Monday - Chest, triceps and lower back/hamstring .
Tuesday - Back and traps.
Wednesday - Calves.
Thursday - Shoulders and traps.
Friday - Quads and calves.
Saturday - Off.
Sunday - Grip and biceps.
OR
Routine #2:
1 day on 1 day off
Monday - deadlift, bench press, front squat, shrugs.
Tuesday - Off
Wednesday - Military press, squat, dips, wide chin-ups.
Thursday - Off
Friday - Deadlift, bench press, front squat, shrugs.
Saturday - off.
Sunday military press, squat, dips, wide chin-ups.
Sunday - Off
and so on
Routine #1 is a split body part routine and Routine #2 is more of a full body routine.
The last month i have been doing routine #1 and about 6months ago i done routine #2.
So which is better? I grow from both if i eat enough.
I need to know soon becuase i plan to attack the weights again tommorow.
Thanks

If you were making decent gains from the first workout then I'd say go with that one.
Seems like routine #1 is the logical choice when you factor in the decision to bring up your 'weaker' areas.
Good to hear that your back is doing much better.

I agree: go with the one that's personalized for you, especially if you had success with both in the past. I would just be careful not to overtrain, because six days a week seems like way too much to me. However, if it works for you, then it works for you, so keep on doing it. Good luck.

I like routine #2 much better, but I'm biased. Either one looks fine, although I would try to combine Wednesday and Sundays workouts with other workouts. One idea, and there are plenty of possibilities, is to stick calves on Tuesday and biceps/grip on Friday. I mean really, you're probably fine as is. I just don't see why you wouldn't want some days off!

I honestly don't think either one is better. Lift and eat, you will grow.
