Thread: is my current routine good??? thanks

I would seriously consider spliting your pushes and pulls between monday and friday, rather then waiting to train all your pushes again... something like mon- horizontal work and fri- vertical.

sorry but i didnt understand that.

i should do push/pull verticle on moday and puch pull horizontal on friday???

Yes

you got it.

just an idea.

I would rather work my groupings together then break them apart because:

a) easier to balance the volume between planes

b) you are more rested to do your presses. if you always start with bench press your over head press wont get as much stress. so breaking them up helps the focus.

c) you get to hit the muscles (push and pull) again, twice in a week with great frequency instead of waiting it out for another week to train again.

d) I always feel unbalanced if I just do a workout of all pushes (that is just me though).
