Thread: 3 day routines

I have never done a 3 day routine before, I always plan 4 days and usually miss one and I usually miss legs. My schedule makes a 3 day routine much more reasonable so here is what I came up with:

all exercises will be in the 6-10 rep range, once in awhile I will do a set or two with more or less reps. My goal is a balance between strength and hypertrophy.

Day 1: chest/back/triceps
Bench 4 sets
Bent Row 3 sets
Incline Press >45degrees 3 sets
pullups 2 sets
Tricep exercise 3 sets
Tricep exercise 3 sets

Day 2: legs
Machine Squat 4 sets
Walking Lunges 2 sets
SLDL 2 sets
Calves 4 sets

Day 3: shoulders/chest/biceps
Military Press 4 sets
Incline Bench Press 3 sets
Upright Row 2 sets
Cuban Presses 2 sets
Bicep exercise 3 sets
Bicep exercise 2 sets


does this routine look well balanced and the split proper? I put machine squats because I have problems with joint stability and doing regular squats is very uncomfortable. I have been training for about 3 years the first and last I havent been very consistent, Im looking to start the new year out fresh, any and all criticism is welcome.

nope.
You have chest twice per week.
If you want to do a 3-day split, try:
day 1) push: Chest/delts/tris
day 3) Legs
day 5) Pull: Back and bis

There should be stickies with this workout.
Good luck
