Evaluate My Workout Please

[HunkaChunk]

Hi,

I have been lifting for about 6 months now and I have been doing a full body workout two to three times per week during that time.

My aims are to decrease my body fat and attempt to add some lean body mass. In addition to the workout I preform cardio three times a week, on non-lifting days and I have one day rest.

My cardio consists of two sessions of basketball and one of hill walking. I feel my legs get a pretty good workout hence the low amount of lifting that targets the legs.

I am still a newbie and I obviously sponge from all the information sources I can. The power/reps/shock format is something that GoPro kindly posted on this board.

Any help or comments are greatly appreciated!

My only recomendation would be to split it up even further, if you can. Instead of a 2 day, try a 3 day split. My split is...

Monday - chest/back
Wednesday - legs
Thursday - shoulders/arms

Otherwise I really don't see a problem. With your current plan, how long do you train? From what I have read here, if you train longer than an hour, it's a big strain on the body (something like that). That's just my $.02

I'm guessing you are a Python Fan? ("tis but a scratch")

It is actually a three day workout bud, Tues, Thurs and Fri. The workouts last for about 45 mins to an hour.

Yes I am an avid python fan, as you must be to spot the reference.

My bad! I didn't move the page over! LOL! Sorry! I still think that you should keep the legs for one day and shoulders and arms for another instead of splitting them up. From what I have read and have been told, you will see better results this way.

Ok! Not that I'm certainly not an expert or anything but how about splitting it into 4 days instead. I really thing legs needs there own day as well because your hitting the largest muscles in your body.

How about:

Day 1: Back/Bis/Abs
Day 2: Legs (including calves)
Day 3: Chest/Tris/Abs
Day 4: Traps/Delts

Also, I think you need a few more ab exercises as well!

JMHO!

It's a little hard to try and get 4 days off lifting in as I play b'ball twice a week, but I am going to try and get off my butt early one weekday morning and do a leg workout then. More ab exercises too hey?? I will have a search through the forum to see what I can find.

Thanks
