My Routine

[Shobe]

Hey everyone, can you take a look at my routine?

Day1-Chest/Tris/Abs
Day2-Back/Bis
Day3-A.M. Cardio & Abs
Day4-Shoulers & Traps
Day5-A.M. Cardio, P.M. Legs

Then the cycle begins again. Keep in mind , I dont' like nor do I want to do cardio on my lifting days.

the way he has Body parts split up. I noticed he had no break days and he should do abs on training days. I suggest he do a push/pull/legs routine for awhile and see how it goes for him. He can do cardio on his off days aswell

What is good about the way he has his bodyparts split up?
How does it look good if he has no rest days?

give him a break...he's prolly new to this. no one has a rest day lol. everyone prolly uses the same muscles everday to do there job or whatever they do.

dude do a push/pull/legs routine. heres how it is:

Monday: push(chest,shoulders,triceps)
tues. rest or do cardio
wednesday: Legs
Thursday: rest or do cardio

I never recommend lifting weights more than 3-4 days each week.

I agree from a harsh history...

 

[bigss75]

He is only lifting 4 days a week unless you consider doing abs lifting

 

[CowPimp]

He is only lifting 4 days a week unless you consider doing abs lifting

He said he would repeat the cycle as soon as it was over. Meaning he is lifting 5-6 days each week; 6 days most weeks.

 

[bigss75]

Well thats called overtraining then

 

[Gazhole]

I agree from a harsh history...

Amen to that. *Shudder*.

 

[Shobe]

well the reason I bumped it up that much is, I felt like I wasn't training enough. My old schedule looked like this:

day1-Chest/Tris/abs
day2-Bis/Back
day3-cardio
day4-shoulders/traps
day5-cardio/legs
day6-cardio
day7-off

Then I would start the cycle again, but with that schedule, there is 6 days in between my 1st day. And to me, that is too long. Plus I figure, my cardio days are my off days, I mean how hard is it to do 15-20 minutes of cardio

By the way, I"m 22, 5' 11" and weigh 175lbs. I'm trying to cut BF% and build lean mass.

So any responses from anyone????

What do you think about this routine: If you don't like either of mine?

• Monday - Chest, Back, Arms
  Tuesday - Legs, Abs, Shoulders
  Wednesday - Back, Arms, Forearms
  Thursday - Legs, Abs, Shoulders
  Friday - Chest, Arms

 

[Gazhole]

Bad points:

Arms is 3 times a week.
Its 5 days in a row with no rest.
Its a body part routine.


Good points:


Go and read the training stickies. If you do a decent 3 or 4 day a week split like push/pull/legs, upper/lower, or a full body program, thatll be worlds better.

Losing fat is primarily diet, so any cardio (though a good idea) is additional to that where you can fit it in. Rest is more important. Never work out more than 2 days in a row without a complete rest if it can be helped.

 

[mike456]

all of you routines suck.

Do what gazhole said.

Shobe, you're falling into the trap that a lot of dedicated lifters fall into. They think that the more you train the better. You have to balance training with recovery. Growth is a product of sufficient recovery. If you don't allow for it to happen then it won't. It's great that you're dedicated, but you must understand that you grow while you're resting not while you're training.

Dive into the stickies here. It won't take you all that long to read when you realize the time it will save you in terms of reaching your goals in the long run.
