Thread: 3 day split for a cut

I was lifting on consecutive days, one body part per day.

I felt like I was overtraining, so I decided to switch to a 3 day lifting routine.

Here goes:

Monday; Legs+Core
Barbell Squats
Seated Calf Raises
Standing Calf Raises

Hanging Leg Raises
Cable punches
Cable wood choppers


Wednesday; Shoulders+Arms
Barbell standing military press
Weighted chinups
Cable face pulls

Friday; Chest+Back
Incline dumbbell bench press
Pullups
Rack pulls/partial deadlifts

Tuesday + Thursday: Steady state cardio


How's this? My main goal is to be able to lift heavy, preserve muscle, and avoid overtraining like hell.

I'd ditch the direct arm and calf work.

Stick to heavy compounds - bench, squat, dead, chin, clean.

Maybe just alternate between workouts A and B:
Workout A: Cleans, squats and chins
Workout B: Deads, bench and GHRs - OR - RDLs, bench and rows

3 sets of 5-8 each, alternate days.
