Reply With QuoteSounds good. Do you train calves ??
How bout deadlifts, cleans or dips.
Try splitting legs up, ie train quads with say chest. Then another day train Hams with back.
Try this:
Day 1: Deadlifts/cleans/shrugs/calves/abs/hyperextensions
Day 3: Squats/bench/dips/shoulder press/close grip bench
Day 5: Bent Rows/Lat Pull/Hamstrings (sldl's or leg curls)/barbell curls
There are so many ways to change things which keep it interesting and keep you learning.

If your still progressing then why change, there is no magic number before you should change routines.
How about just changing your rep scheme or the order you do the exercises in, sometimes the little changes make all the difference.Cool

What he said. Don't change just for the sake of change. If you've reached a plateau THAT'S when you need to change things up but if you're making good progress, don't mess with it.Originally posted by Scotty the Body

Having said that, you could just change the order you do things in. Right now your order is Back/Bis - Chest/Tirs - Legs. You could try Legs - Back/Bis - Chest/Tris. That's a major overhaul. If you like the body part scheme the way it is you could just reverse the order you do your exercises. I'll use your leg routine as an example, try doing the isolation movements FIRST then move to the compound movements. As a matter of fact, that's a perfect example of a pre-exhaust routine that's worked wonders for thousands of people. It also looks amazingly like the Colorado Experiment. My one caution would be on your Back and Chest days; always train the big muscles first. Don't reverse the order so that you have arms before torso. Just reverse the order of exercises you do for those body parts.Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???
