Hey guys I'm new here, and I've been working out for about 6 months now. I was wondering if you guys could critique a routine that I've just started doing:
Any advice would greatly be apprecitaed. My main goal is to get a cutter look while building overal muscle mass.
Do an average of 3 sets per exercise, with 6-8 reps each. Add an extra set if feeling strong for a specific exercise.
Day 1 ??? Quads/Calves
- Squats
- Hack Squats/Leg Press (Alternate)
- Leg Extensions
- Lying Leg Curls
- Calf Raise
Day 2 ??? Shoulders/Abs/Oblique
- Shoulder Press
- Dumbbell Rear Lateral Raise
- Rear Deltoid Row
- Captain Crunch (25 reps each set)
- Kneeups (25 reps each set)
- Dumbbell Side Bend
- Oblique Sit-ups
Day 3 ??? Cardio
Day 4 ??? Chest/Triceps
- Incline Barbell/Dumbbell (Alternate)
- Flat Bench Barbell Press
- Flat Bench Flies
- Lying Triceps Extension (Skull Crushers)
- Triceps Pushdown
- Parallel Bench or Machine Dips
- Reverse Grip Pushdowns (same as triceps pushdown, with underhand grip)
Day 5 ??? Back/Biceps
- Lat Pull-down
- Bent Over Row
- Seated Row *
- Preacher Curls
- Standing Bicep Curls
- Hammer Curls
- Reverse Curls
Day 6 ??? Cardio
I'd like to add variation to promote muscle growth, so changing exercises were applicable from dumbbells to barbells and vice versa. I've also stated other exercises that I could alternate in place of the other on evrey other week.
I'd like to do dropsets, but I'm not to sure which exercise I could do them on.
Thanks in advance!
