A little help deciding my program

Gym Candy · 11-24-2006, 01:26 AM

i was wondering which of the three program sets are best for muscle growth:

Set A / Set B / Set C/
day 1 / day 1 / day 1/
Chest / Chest / Chest/

day 2 / day 2 / day 2/
Bi's and Tri's / Biceps / Back and Bi's/

day 3 / day 3 / day 3/
Traps and Shoulders / Traps and Shoulders/ Traps and Shoulders/

day 4 / day 4 / day 4/
Back / Tri's and Back/ Triceps/

day 5 / day 5 / day 5/
legs / legs / legs/

I just have a problem with my arms because when i combine either triceps or biceps with another body part, i tend to be weaker and would lift less so i decided to split it in the three programs above, any help as to which one is best would really help. Thanks

None of them are optimal for anything.

Dont do a body-part split, dont work out 5 days in a row.

Do a 3 day a week upper/lower or full body split.

Those are just splits, though. What exercises/sets/reps/RI's are you doing in your program?

Gazhole is right, 3 days a week is better, maybe 4. I wouldn't waste time training bi's & tri's together though. The reason you tend to lift less when combining them with other similar motions is because they're already fatigued.
