Thread: opinion please

I would cut the number of sets to 4 for the biceps to much work doing 6 sets in my opinon.

thats sounds like a pretty good split to me .. what did you want opinions on? i workout my triceps with my chest and shoulders and leave my legz on a day of their own but thats just me yours looks straight too

by doing 2 sets for 4 excercises , is it ok , or is it better to do 4 sets for 2 excercises?

how come 6 sets for biceps is alot? i train them once a week.
what about 6 sets for tris?

Is that your whole routine?

yes it is

well um yeah i do 4 sets with 10-8-6-4 reps with biceps adding 5 pounds each time. as for tris i do variuse things using machines.

for Bis and Tris you really dont need too much volume because you are working them with various other exercises especially rows and back exercises for bi's n chest exercises for tri's

what if u have legs - triceps combo .where the tris dont get hit from anywhere while doing legs, is it ok to do 6 sets then?

i seem to be a little confused: its better to do 4 sets of bis and tris because i had worked them out as a secondary mucle while working out another another group?

example: if i did back on monday and biceps on thursday or monday chest and tris thursday, do i do 4 sets cause i had worked them out on monday or do i do 6 sets?

Are you getting the results you want from lifting with the current number of sets?

Instead of 2-2-2 for chest, I'd do:
3 x flat bench
3 x incline bench
2 x decline flies
then do 3 sets of decline bench and 2 of incline flies the next week.
Just my opinion here, your's is fine to.

As for your second muscle group, I would consider switching to Chest/Tri's
Tri's: 4-6 total sets

Back/bi's
Back 9 total sets
Bi's 4 total sets

Legs/Shoulders
Legs 9-11 total sets
Shoulders 6 total sets


Bottom line, if your routine is working for you than stick with it.

i appreciate ur help guys. when i go to the gym i dont have in mind what excercise to do. i decide right there, provided the benches or machines are available. i never have an identical routine as the previous one changing combos and excercises. i have been training for 10 years, im 27 now. i was young and foolish, overtraining for a large part of that. i had to slowly learn about protein, carbs ,i was a fat phobic. i wish iron magazine forums existed back then. i weigh 212 pounds, im around 6 feet. many people ask me if im on steroids. i tell them" r u kidding , i would weigh 275 lbs and lean if i was on roids".
since i never keep the same combos do u still suggest to cut small muscle sets to 4 whether i combine my biceps with shoulders or legs or back? and same for tris with chest or legs or back? thanx

I would use a log to keep track if your switching your routine so often, its gotta be hard to keep track of progress otherwise.

If your not doing bi's with back, then I also would probably do 6 sets, doing them together is more time efficient.
