Thread: Need Help With Routine

Hey everyone im now really starting starting to get into weight lifting and i need help with a routine...i was basically going to to it in a 4-day split when i lift weights like this below


MONDAY- Back and Biceps
TUESDAY- Legs
WEDNESDAY- *REST*
THURSDAY- Chest and Triceps
FRIDAY- Abs
SATURDAY- *REST*
SUNDAY- *REST*



but my problem is that i need specific excerises to do for a specific group

like

exercise-
reps-
% of max -
and things like that

i also think it should be on an 8-10 week routine

so if anyone knows any routines that could help me, that would be very helpful!


NOTE: i also take creatine and whey protein

i take creatine when i first wake up (on empty stomach)

and then i take the whey protein along wiht creatine after i workout

is that good?




THANKS, ''I2HOT2TOUCH''

First your abs recover quickly, so doing them with your other workouts won't hurt. I start every workout with about 30-40 weighted decline situps. (I am sure there is a cool name for them, but I don't know it)

Second make sure that you are doing compound lifts and not just isolation movements as the compound lifts will help your core as well as your "focused" muscle group.

My W/O

Mon- Back/Biceps (Includes Pullups and Chinups)
Tue- Off
Wed - Chest/Tricep (Includes Dips and Barbell Bench)
Thur - Offf
Fri - Legs/Shoulders (Includes Military Press, Squats and Lunges)

I put the lifts in ( ) that have a tendency (sp?) to work your core as well.

GL with the new routine.

thanks! ok so i guess ill start off ever workout with a couple sets of 50 sit-ups or and maybe some 'leg pull up' type exercise to kinda work my abs to pfull potential
