sheriff_jonny -> Split advice, what do you do? (May 2 2008 5:35:04)
hi guys i'm thinking of changing my routine up a bit when i get back from ibiza next week. At the moment i do a 4 day split with wednesday being my rest day, and monday being bis/chest, tuesday being leg, thursday being delts/tris and friday back. Now one of the reasons i'm thinking of changing is that i feel i should be hitting the major groups twice a week now, and another being that the weekend seems wasted without any lifting. SO what i want to know is what you do and the pros/cons of it.

tuesday - legs thursday-chest / tris friday- upper back and bis sunday deads and shoulders pros, get to split my back over two workouts to hit it all properly shoulders almost get their own day cons, arms are trained when already fatigued, not ideal imo but they are just arms.....

Mon - Chest/Triceps Weds- Back/Biceps Fri - Shoulders/Traps Sat - Legs Advantages - each body part gets plenty of rest before being worked again - shoulders get their own special day - leaves three days for rest Disadvantages - triceps and biceps get worked when already fatigued, like the above poster - temptation is great sometimes to skip legs training, especially as it's the last session of the week

Day 1 - Pull (Back/Traps/Biceps) Day 2 - off Day 3- Push (Chest/Shoulders/Triceps) Day 4 - off Day 5 - Legs & Abs Day 6 - off Day 7 - off Try to do one HIIT session a week, when ever I can fit it in without it affecting my workouts. And recently added in a bit of SSCV for when Im off and not commuting. Also add in RC training once a week (usually after Push workout), ROM / flexability work and stretching 3-4 times a week. +ve Simple Legs get their own day Plenty of rest -ve Shoulders can be a bit fatigued if I have gone up to the next set of DBs on Chest. Workouts can take up to 1hr 15minutes if gym is busy, or im too slow (usually aim for 1hr, or just under) I prefer low volume arm and isolation work, focus is on the Squats, Deads and other compounds.
