Thread: suggestions ??

I would only hit legs once a week ( make sure you do some SLDL on that day also).

12-14 sets of leg exercises spread throughout the week is totally reasonable.

I think you have too much upper body stuff each session. Pick maybe two compound upper body movements, one lower body compound movements, and an isolation arm exercise. Then do your accessory stuff.

I would also do the lower body movements earlier in the session.

Are you supersetting those exercises at all? Just kind of looks like it the way you laid out the exercise selection.

.

If he is kick boxing 3-4 times a week he should not hit the legs with weights more than once a week.

A boxing workout alone is filled with: Lunges, stepups, kicks to a heavy bag, body weight squats, jump squats...ect.

Maybe he should change it to an upper/lower/upper?? Or a push/legs/pull>??

I do it 2-3 times a week.... and yes the workout is full with hard leg work , I guess that's what i'm gonna do , i'll just do legs on the high rep day (A)and drop it from the other low rep day , also are you saing that i dead lift at the push day after squatting?? ........:thnx foreman

I started to hate the idea of doing legs on a seperate day, i don't like wasting a day doing legs while i could do other work.. but it'll work for somebody who wants to hit his legs with high volume...

How about this:

Monday - Off
Tuesday - Kickingboxing
Wednesday - Upper body vertical
Thursday - Kickboxing
Friday - Lower body
Saturday - Upper body horizontal
Sunday - Kickboxing

How does leg day bore you? That's craziness.

Resistance training four times a week plus three sessions of kickboxing with intense lower body activity is going to be tough. If you really must lift four days each week, then I would still do an upper-lower split. Your legs have to recover at some point. I think lifting three times a week makes more sense for you though.

ok that makes sense .. I'll make another one 3 x week , upper/lower , what do you think about the chest/back ,shoulders/arms,legs ......? it will have less frequency but will give me the option to hit my delts on a seperate day because my shoulder lifts are so week...what do you recommend?

ok i liked the upper/lower set by pwgriffin ...i'll set a good routine and post it again ...thnx cp ,thnx foreman

You could think of upper body vertical as shoulders. You know my opinion on splits like that.
