Thread: Routine

Whats with all the sets for back.

..and what execises are you using?

that is quite similar to my current routine!

except I separate calves and shoulders.

Yeah, you've got a little much for back and forearms. I don't see any shoulder work.

The only other thing I don't like about it is your legs saturday then back to chest the next day. I'd consider droping the sunday workout and switching legs and back day around.

Looks good but i would have to add shoulders in there and cut back on the forearms.. and take a two day rest... keep it Tuesday, Thursday, Sat...
Also cut back on the volume.. add intensity....

Tuesday
Chest - 6 sets of 8-10
Shoulders - 4 sets 8-10
Biceps - 4 sets of 8-10
Forearms - 2 sets of 8-10

Thursday
Back - 10 sets of 8-10
Triceps - 4 sets of 8-10
Abs - 6 sets of 25

Saturday
Quads/Glutes - 6 sets of 8-10
Hamstrings - 4 sets of 8-10
Calves - 4 sets of 8-10

But........if you're getting good results.. keep it up...

Yes, I agree, if your progressing then keep doing what your doing.

I agree, I would just take Sunday off and rest.

Oops! I forgot to indicate shoulder workouts on the same day as legs (Day 3) at 9 sets (8-10 reps).

For back I do:

6 sets for lats
4 sets for traps
4 sets for lower back

As for forearms, I do 3 sets for the extensors and 3 sets for the flexors. I do not perform reverse curls or hammer curls.

So you think I should cut back on the volume and increase the weight (intensity)?

My goal is to gain mass.

If your gonna do anything, I'd cut the sunday workout.

You can drop your volume and work on lower sets w/more weight one week and then higher reps less weight the next week if your worried about dropping volume.
