Hey guys, want to know what you think about this 2 day a week split I've come up with. I've been training on a 3 day a week split for about a year now and need a change. I'm wanting to bulk up. Also, my wife and I are having a baby in Oct so I know my time will be short for lifting weights when that time comes. So I found this routine and made a few adjustments to it to fit my needs. Tell me what ya think.
A = 3 sets of 5-8 reps, starting at approx. 80% of 1 rep max. After 8 reps is reached with initial weight selection, 5% is added next "A" workout for that exercise. The idea behind the A routine is to get a hard workout, but not hit failure.
B = 2 set of 6-10 reps, to failure (HIT style). After 10 or more reps is reached with initial weight selection, 10% is added to next "B" workout for that exercise.
Chest = Bench Press
Back = DeadLift/Bent Over Rows (alternate each time)
Shoulder = Dumbell Shoulder Press
Bicep = Straight Bar Curls
Triceps = SkullCrushers
Legs = Squat/SLDeadLift (Alternate each time)
Calf = Calf Raise, Standing or Donkey
chest A, Monday
shoulder A, Monday
back B, Thursday
bicep A,Monday
tricep A, Monday
legs B, Thursday
calves B, Thursday
then alternate routines the next week like so
chest B, Monday
shoulder B, Monday
back A, Thursday
bicep B, Monday
tricep B, Monday
legs A, Thursday
calves A, Thursday
