Routine
There's a newbie in the house!
Finally back in the gym after several years off. I'm 41 6'5" 340lbs and trying to get back to respectable shape. I'm going 3 days on with one off. If anyone has suggestions I will gladly listen as I am not sure if I am allowing enough rest.
Chest/Tri's
Bi's/Back
Legs/Shoulders
4 sets of 10 each body part. Keeping reps up as I don't need any additional size just FAT loss. I workout alone and get this done in about 45 minutes so I don't screw around in the gym. I get in and get out. No time for gossip in the gym. I have always been that way. Actually prefer to workout alone due to time constraints. I have just added the bike to the mix and will work towards 25-30 minutes.

me neither...of course..it is becuase I find a way to piss away my cardio time...
well, with me, it's because I'm avoiding cardio for bulking purposes. I could do cardio, but then I"d have to eat even more, which I can't really afford to do. So, I sacrifice the cardio. I'm not fat, I look "okay" and I'm happy with my strength and size gains and how they're coming along. Once I get to a certain level of fatness (hell, maybe that'll never happen) I'll do a cut. I don't stress it though. Plus, cardio just plain sucks and I hate it

I used to run 3 miles a day. grew to love it. Thought I was fat at 155lbs. What a putz I was! I wondered why I never added any muscle.
Mon - Chest
Tue - Back
Wed - Rest
Thur - Shoulders/Legs
Fri - Arms/Light Chest
Saturday - HIIT
Sunday - Rest
Tue - Back
Wed - Rest
Thur - Shoulders/Legs
Fri - Arms/Light Chest

I basically train all bodyparts twice a week except Legs and Shoulders, which I do once a week.
Mon - Chest
Tues - Shoulders/Tri's
Wed - Back/Bi's
Thu- Rest
Fri- Chest
Sat - Legs/Tri's
Sun - Back/Bi's
Mon - Rest
and so on, and so forth...

Tues - Shoulders/Tri's
Wed - Back/Bi's
Thu- Rest
Fri- Chest
Sat - Legs/Tri's
Sun - Back/Bi's
Mon - Rest
and so on, and so forth...
I could never do another body part in addition to doing legs in one day. After I do legs, I am too drained to do anything more.
5-6 times a week.......
M - Chest/Tri
T - Legs/Abs
W - Cardio
TH - Back/Bi
F - Shoulders
S - Rest
Sun - Cardio

6 Day Cycle
I'm currently on a 6 day cycle that has always worked well for me. I find I require 6 days on all the larger muscle groups and 7 days is often too much, hate to waste a day. The exception is smaller muscle groups, but they get involved during squats, deadlifts, bench, etc... Then I specifically hit them again, so they are rested a little less.
1st day - Chest and Shoulders
2nd day - Back
3rd day - REST
4th day - Arms
5th day - Legs and Abs
6th day - REST

well, as with many others here, I only do one body part per day, and opposing bodyparts in succession.
1) Chest
2) Legs
3) off
4) Delts
5) Back
6) Arms (if not do them with major body part
7) off
By the time I workout the same body part, it is has been a week and no longer sore.

Once every 5 days.
Trying Mentzer's method in "HIT the MM way".
It's working, slowly. In 5 months I've grown about .8 inches in biceps, and dropped 12 kilos (about 26 pounds) in weight.
To me, it's great, I train once every five days, 40 minutes per session. Is that cool or what? I make progress every session, either more weight or more reps. It's slow, but it works, and there's lower potential for injuries.

How often I train
Used to try 3-day cycles, but was overtraining. Now following advice I've received based on the fact I'm training quite heavily. Trying 7-day cycles. I workout 5 days of weights, 1 cardio, and 1 day of full rest. So far, so good.
I'm feeling a lot better than I was; my body has time to heal and I don't feel so far like I'm losing anything. I'm on a 3500-4000 cal. diet. Slight weight gain, but seem to be losing fat (my waist is shrinking ) However, I tend to get more stiff/sore from the workouts (probably because there is more space in-between), but not too bad.. Hopefully this works out for me.

I workout three days a week, do cardio 2 - 3x a week.
Monday - Chest/Shoulders
Tuesday - Cardio
Wednesday - Back/Biceps/traps
Thursday - Cardio
Friday - Legs/abs
Sunday - Cardio sometimes.
I do high intensity for shorter periods. My cardio doesnt really last more than 20 minutes, and I go hard during that time.

I work a 5 day cycle....
Day one chest and tri's
Day two back and shoulders
Day three legs and bi's
Day four chest and tri's
Day five back and shoulders
Sat and Sun are days off
I start Monday on the next day in the cylce ie. if Friday I work back and shoulders then on Mon I do legs and bi's, Tues chest and tri's.. and so on and so on. This is great for me because four body parts get worked twice a week, and each week it changs what parts are only worked once.
