My workout split, please comment on it.

Icy-Dice · 10-14-2006, 09:14 AM

This workout is designed for me to train smarter and for symmetry. Shoulder width and lateral width along with a small waist and big quads play a good role in the V taper. so i designed this routine to hit he shoulders laterals more and put first according to the prority principle.here it is-

Day1-Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders (forearms)
Day2-Legs (quads, hams, calves and glutes),abs,Lats
Day3-Rest/cardio
Day4-Chest, Shoulders, Abs
Day5-Laterals,middle back, lower back and trapezius
sat and sunday-rest

I have posted this workout for your help to make it better if possible.Thank you.

Train movements not muscle groups, Or simply work

Push
Legs
Pull

Or upper
Lower
Upper

Different strokes for different folks. But I think your routine is set up to hit the same muscles 2 days in a row.

Example you got biceps on Monday and then Lats on Tuesday. You want your biceps to be fresh to pull your back along.

Thanks for the Biceps and lateral thing. I decided to take the lats off day-2. I got biceps on day 1 because its arms day. Anymore corrections i need?

Train arms at the very end of the week. Or not at all. Your arms get blasted on every other upper body lift. Theres really no need to have a day specifically for arms. If you to do Chest and shoulders on one day I would throw in 3 sets of triceps at the end of that workout and thats it. Theres no need to blast your tris after you have already done so for the entire workout. What do your sets and reps look like?

i kno. i had arms day at the end of the week but im supposed to change the formation to avoid a plateau. I do used to do 3-5 sets of 8-10 reps but i decided to try out using drop sets. thank for the comment.

Mind i have also mentioned that i am training smarter and i am actually looking to put on mass as does everyone but i want to put it in the right places slowly to achieve a symmetrical body.

Train the muscle groups in order of biggest to smallest. For example on Monday do legs, Tuesday do back, Wednesday do Chest etc...
