Thread: Is This A Good Routine

First of all that is not a routine, it is a split.

P.S.- Both are not good.

Is this a good routine? Or would this one be better?:

No


Push/pull/legs

or

upper
lower
off
off
upper
lower
off

The first one lacks sufficient recovery time between sessions.

Though I don't really like the split in the second program, it would probably work fine. I don't like the push to pull ratio though.

Hey ForumRules, how about this one then?

^^^^^

for me, tri's n bi's on the same day's is a must.

but fuk what i say......try stuff and see what works for u.

There is no shoulder work, and a bit too much arm isolation.

Why do you feel this way, just because both muscles are pumped and make you arms look bigger for about 20 minutes?

no cuz i ilke to superset them....and nothing else i've tried has shown more gains.

ahh crap, didn't even notice that. No shoulders or traps? Screw that.

Well I need a good split set up.

I have been doing:

day1-chest/tris
day2-bis/back
day3-cardio
day4-shoulders/traps
day5-legs
day6-cardio
day7-off

Set me up with a good split and a link to it.

do what foreman said, another option is totallbody 2-3 times a week.

How long have you been consistently training?

What are your goals?

Have you ever tried anything higher frequency?

what about this split:

• Day 1 - Legs, abs
• Day 2 - Chest, deltoids, triceps, abs
• Day 3 - Back, biceps, forearms, abs.

Or this:

• Day 1- Legs, abs,
• Day 2- Chest, triceps, abs
• Day 3- Back, biceps, forearms
• Day 4- Deltoids, abs

why dont u just try it and see how it goes. No one gonna give you your "perfect" split/routine.

How about this Push/Pull Split:

Mon-Push (Chest, Shoulders/ Tris)
Tues-Pull (Legs, back, biceps)
Wed-Cardio
Thurs-Push
Fri-Pull
Sat-Cardio
Sun-Off

How many split are you going to post? these are the only good splits, choose wich ever one fits you.

Total Body 3 times a week

Upper/Lower 2 times a week

Upper Push/Upper Pull/Legs

If you put legs in with your push's and pull's split them up... and rest a day between workouts if you do it that way...3 days a week....push/pull/push one week...then pull/push/pull the next...so on monday when you push...throw in squats and lunges with your chest/shoulder/tri's exercises....then on wednesday when you pull put in deadlifts and maybe good mornings with ur back/bis exercises......Get it??

Oh and don't search the web for a great workout....you'll find a bunch of shitty ones...the best thing you can do is learn how to put together a solid program and write your own workouts based on your wants and needs....

Read the stickies....they will help tremendously.

I think I really like:

Upper Push/Upper Pull/Legs.

But it seems there is a lot of off days. Maybe too much rest.

So do this, it does not have to be based on a weekly schedule:
Day 1- Upper Push
Day 2- Legs
Day 3- Off
Day 4- Upper Pull
Day 5- Off
Back to day 1

Ok, I'll take all that you provided and pick one I like. Since everyone is so rude on here, I"ll just stop asking. I'm simply just trying to make sure I"m doing things right. Then I get blasted.

So ForumRules, I take it, you really like that split?

My only question is, won't my shoulder exercises lag due to me doing triceps too?

No, it's just ego and you have to check that at the door....I can military 20-30lbs more if I don't train chest first but who cares....It aint a contest. You can do delts on another day if you like but stick to push/pull/legs or upper/lower...or total body and you will end up bigger and stronger in the long run.

That's actually a decent split. However, if you were to do that I would make it upper body push coupled with squatting movements and upper body pull coupled with pulling/deadlifting movements.

You also presented a push-pull-legs split as a possibility. There are a million possibilities. Just stick to no more than 3-4 days each week, try to balance out the time spent doing each workout somewhat, and try to balance out your exercise selection to prevent injuries in the future. I don't like a lot of splits people use, but almost anything can work if done properly.

On top of that, you don't HAVE to train chest first every time. You could always alternate between starting with the military press or bench press for example.

Another good way to split things up is upper body vertical and upper body horizontal. You could think of it as shoulders/back width and chest/back thickness if that helps you. Heh.

How was anyone rude? Because we offered you the help you asked for?

Alright, this is what I'm picking and I"m sticking to it:

Day1-Chest/Shoulders/Tris
Day2-Legs
Day3-Off
Day4-Back/Bi
Day5-Off
Day6-start cycle again

How's that everyone?
