My training routine

[Josh99]

This is my new training routine that I have started this week. So far I like it I just wana here your opinions on it.

I don't have it on specific days I just go by a pattern

Day 1-Chest, tri, shoulder. Jog 4 miles at 8:30pm
Day 2- back, bi, legs. Jog 4 miles at 8:30pm
Day 3- off
Day 4- legs, bi. Jog 4 miles at 8:30pm
Day 5- off
Day 6- repeat whole thing over again. Same jogging routine

I am hitting legs/bi twice a week because I want to improve those body parts more than the others.

That's a lot of volume, I would cut that in half and up the intensity. And deadlifts and squats should be done first and probably on a different day. Legs are the biggest muscles and you need to train them more than your shoulders and biceps.

 

[Josh99]

Which exercises would you cut

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Legs and back aren't too much volume though.

 

[Josh99]

K.
So if I do
Day 1- chest, tri, shoulder
Day2- back, bi
Day 3- off
Day 4- legs first then some bi
Day 5- off
Day 6- repeat

Would that be better? And what do you think about all that cardio? I'm trying to cut btw.

Chest
Flat bench- 215lbs 5x5
Incline- 185lbs 5x5
DB flies- 30lbs 4x15

Shoulder
Military press- 135lbs 5x5

Back
Deadlifts- 275lbs 5x5
Pull ups 4-burnout
Some kind of rows

Do legs on it's own day
Squat- 185lbs 4x10
leg press
cleans or front squats


5x5 is fine but just make sure you are trying to progress every time you work out.
The exercises I cut out aren't bad exercises except kickbacks are lame. Just rotate them in your routine to switch things up every week or two.

 

[ihateschoolmt]

Cardio is fine I prefer biking because running is so bad for your joints. Oh and if you are cutting then I would take out all the isolation arm work it's hard to get bigger and smaller at the same time. Just focus on heavy compound movements for right now.

 

[Josh99]

K. And I bump up everything 5lbs every week to keep it intense

 

[Josh99]

Thanks for the help

 

[ihateschoolmt]

If you can make strength gains on a cut that's great but don't worry about it if you can't. It's hard for the body to loose weight and gain strength unless you are brand new. And don't forget diet is just as important as training when it comes to loosing weight, and gaining.

 

[Josh99]

Ya I track everything I eat am alternate my carbs/calories depending if I'm training that day. On days I train I bump up my calories to like 3000 and 200+ grams of carbs and protein. And on days I have off I max out at like 1900 calories with 160 grams of protein at least to protect muscle and no more than 30g of carbs. So far this has been working great and ya I have been making strength gains.
