Advice on new routein... 24 August 2009 18:02 (permalink)
Hello,

For the 6months - year i've been doing a full body workout so i thought that it was about time to change back to a split.
I was wondering if people could give me some feedback/constructive criticism on what they read please, Thanks.
Where there is two options e.g. for triceps - skull crushers/tricep kick backs if either is alot better please advice.

DB Bench Press - 3 x 8
Incline DB/BB Bench press - 3 x 8
Pec deck flys - 3 x 8
CGBP - 3 x 8
Skull crushers/tricep kick backs - 3 x 8
Tricep dips (weighted) - 3 x 8

Wednesday - Bicep/Back

Wide arm pull ups (weighted) - 3 x 8
Close grip pull ups (weighted) 3 x 8
Seated Row - 3 x 8
Dead Lift - 3 x 8

    Your exercises seem ok, but legs and shoulders on the same day would be quite a long one - if you're training legs all out will you have the energy for shoulders too?

      yeh leg and shoulders day doesnt look too great mate..
      think about splittin the workout into a 4 day split imo..
      i would drop one of the pulldowns/ pullups as well and switch it for another row to be honest.. a freeweight row like barbell or DB rows..

        Cheers for the reply,

        Well the shoulder exercise i could probably fit into my tricep/chest day and most of the compound exercises will cover shoulders anyhow.

        Mr.M when you say 4 day split do you mean add more work to the shoulders?  and i'm doing bicep/back on monday (just for the fact that theres deadlifts and want my legs to be in the best condition they can be for the friday beasting!

        Are the 3 exercises for Legs okay or would you suggest any more?

        Many thanks

          if ur goin to add shoulders to ur monday workout i would reduce the volume on everythin on the monday. i.e.

          monday-
          bench
          dips
          shoulder press
          skulls

          weds-
          squats
          lunge
          ham curls
          calves

          friday-
          deads
          rows
          DB rows
          chins
          curls

          that'd be a bit better imo mate.. its just a basic push pull legs routine tho, v similar to that of frankie NY's mass routine
