Can I get some advice on my routine

[Fernando300]

is this okay for a routine

monday-chest biceps cooldown stairs 10 mins

tuesday-run 2-3 miles

wednesday-abs and legs

thursday-back triceps then cooldown stairs 10 mins

friday swim 1500 yards

saturday shoulders and traps

sunday interval running

repeat

my workout is about 80 minutes, I do 20 sets for chest and back and 12 sets for biceps and triceps.

so let me know what you think thanks.

What are your goals? It is hard to critique if you don't state your goals. You will definitely not pack on mass with that routine, too much cardio. But you could be fat wanting to cut down, I have no idea.

Without knowing your goals all I can say is I prefer chest-triceps one day, back-biceps another. They go better for me, but it doesn't really matter.

Need more info.

Rest? Day off? You gotta rest to grow. IMO you are doing too much.

^^^what he said^^^. Give your body a break

Agree with the others. You need to give your body a day to rest. Also, that is a lot of cardio so if you're trying to gain mass, I would defineitly cut down on the cardio. You don't build muscle while working out, you build it while you are recooperating.

It's not the cardio that's killing your recovery. It is the lack of rest and no days off. Your body needs a break to repair itself. Take at least one day off a week, so your body can rest. If your goal is shedding more body fat, you will still want to get your cardio in.

If you're trying to get to 10 or 9% BF naturally, make sure your diet is clean (high protein, moderate to high carbs, low fat, low sugar, low sodium). Nothing is more imprtant than what you eat! Also, running 3 x's a weak won't cut it. If running is your thing and you like shorter distances (2-3 miles), keep your pace at about 8 mins per mile and run 4 to 5 days a week. If you add swiming (I do too) cut your runing down to 3-4 days. Also, be sure to stager your workout so that you're not training back on the same day as swimming. I typically swim on my leg days. If you're worried about losing too much mass, add some extra calories. Pasta and flank stank is my favorite! Oh yeah, don't forget to hydrate!

Good Luck!
