I know, I know, another critique my routine thread

Riverdragon · 07-31-2006, 02:55 PM

Seriously though. I think I have been overtraining by doing 1-2 body part routines. My shoulders especially are starting to feel it.

How about this?

Day 1
Bench Press
Shoulder Press
Dips
Cable Pressdown
Fly machine

Day 2
DB Rows
Lat Pulldowns
Pull ups or cable row
DB Curls
Preacher Curls

Day 3
Legs (I haven't gotten to this yet but probably something like this)
Squats
Leg Extensions
DL
Calf raises

Thanks.

Bye.

Fly machine....drop this do db flys or cable flys..beter yet incline DB press

Day 2
DB Rows
Lat Pulldowns
Pull ups or cable row
DB Curls
Preacher Curls....drop this

Day 3

it would help if you posted the number of sets and reps. On leg day I would drop the extensions though and do lunges like foreman said. I would also do another hamstring dominant movement like hamstring curls. The rest doesnt look too bad, but still needs some work.

Seems reasonable enough. If I changed anything I would probably throw a little extra upper back work on your day 2, and maybe some shoulder prehabilitation work on day 1, like rotator cuff exercises. I would also do deadlifts before leg extensions on day 3, and preferably no leg extensions at all. Replace that with some kind of unilateral lower body movement like lunging or stepups.
