The male obsession with having a huge chest and gun's are often the same guy's who have sticks for legs.

A for the first one

B for the second one (concentration curls!)

Have you ever done a split like the second one you have that you liked? I used to do that type of split but it never got me anywhere. I love working Back, Biceps together and legs on day 2 but for some reason mixing shoulders and triceps together never felt right.

I did a basic 3 day bodypart split similar to that (not P/RR/S) the first ~9 months(changed exercises, reps schemes etc) I started training and I liked it fairly well, but after I switched to Westside, going back to a bodypart split didn't feel natural.

I like the flexibility of full body routines. I like to train my legs every time I workout. I also like that if I get lazy or am just trying to unload it's not that hard to get at least two sessions in a week. Three times a week is perfect for me and allows me enough time to do other activities (biking, sprints, stair running etc.) that I like without being too tired.

I few people on this site do westside, that looks pretty cool too.

This is the first program I did when I got back into lifting with zero knowledge of how to put together a good program:

Bench Press
Military Press
Bicep Curl
Reverse Crunches
Bicycle Crunces
Ab Roller
Quad Extensions
Hamstring Curls
Cleans

Pretty funny. I did everything for like 5-8 reps if I remember correctly.



The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
