Hey guys, me and my workout buddy have been doing this routine for a month and a half now and I am really seeing great results. Its Sunday - Friday w/ Sat off.

And as for cardio, I do 1/2 a mile warmup and I run a hard mile after each workout. Please tell me if I need to change anything!

how about something like this:
sunday- arms/shoulders
monday -quads/calves
tuesday- off
wednesday- chest/abs
thursday- back/hams
friday- off
saturday- off
2on 1off 2on 2off
give yourself some time to rest.
as for everything else, the number of movements is rather high. how many sets/reps do you plan on doing for each? be careful this is pretty high volume, dont wanna overtrain.

1) Even though you are training your Chest once a week, 7 exercises is simply way to much. Try reducing it to 4-5 if you really want that high of a volume. Be sure that it involves intensity and warming up (same goes for the rest). I'll most likely do Bench Press, Flyes, Incline/Decline Press and Bar Dips.

2) Looking at the exercises you're doing for your Quads, most of them will also affect on your Hamstrings. So maybe you wannma combine your Hamstring with Quads during the same day, and put in Straight Legged Deadlift to your workout. Oh BTW, it'll be better to alternate Hack Squat and Leg Press, not both at the same workout. But maybe it's just me.

3) You might wanna also combine your Calve exercises in your leg day, and throw in Shoulders to Friday along with Arms. Thus having a day off at Thursday.

4) Your Back workout seems gruesome as well. Try reducing the exercses, and do some Pull Ups. Barbell Rows are great too.

5) For Shoulders, maybe you wanna replace one of the Military Presses with Arnold or Dumbbell Presses instead, and if I were you, I'll do one arm reverse grip cable curls rather than kickbacks (if not, close grip bench press). Try alternating Cable Curls with Barbell Curls too)

Hope that help a little

Work hard, play hard, and sleep well.

Well as for sets and reps we have been doing this is it:

2 Weeks for 12/10/8/6
1 Week 25/20/15/10
1 Week 8/6/4/2

So two weeks of muscle workouts
One week of endurance workouts
One week of strength

As for cardio we do 1/2 a mile before a workout to get really warm and we run a really hard mile after a workout.

I realize that this maybe a bit much but I would appreciate it if anyone could make me a plan that is a great fat burning workout.

Thanks!!

PS: Anyone have any articles on cortisol? My workout partner doesnt believe that it exists!! That dumbass haha lol
