Hey guys, Im just looking for some advice on a good training routine here. I currently blast on body part everyday of the week, eg - Monday -Chest, Tuesday - Arms, Wednesday - Legs, Thursday - Shoulders, Friday - Back. Is this a good routine or should I combine?. if so can anyone direct me towards agood routine?
Thanks

too much volume if you ask me...try to narrow it down to 4 days a week.
 
i agree ,,, try this

monday: Legs (this is when you are the freshest)
Tuesday: chest and tris
wed: OFF
thursday: back and bi'
Friday shoulders and calves
saturday: OFF
sunday :OFF
 
you should NOT be focusing on bodyparts but rather compund lifts and doing some assistance type work along with those compund moves

save those splits for the assnozzles in muscle and fiction

hey Blackbeard... who is this directed at ?
 
he's saying that the superior way to train is focussing on compound lifts rather than assume that you can break the body into parts. compound lifts = more weight moved = more hypertrophy... yet this eludes many. at the very least, i'd suggest a split where you'd do something like:
M: legs, abs
W: upper body
F: repeat M
Sunday: repeat W
make most lifts larger compound lifts... keep out as much cable and foo foo iso stuff as possible. M & W can be heavy and F & Sunday can be speed days (around 50% of max done with high speed - squat OR deads for legs & flat bench for chest/tris/bis + some assistance)... try to increase weight every week on heavy days
 
FUnniest thingi heard all day

ok,, well i'm not sure that i subscribe to that theory. there is no way that i want to do deads, then the rest of my upper body in the same day.

the way that i split it did NOT suggest anything about what movements,,, just a split. personally i live Squats, Deads, bench... and they ALL are used in my rotation. so again,,, im not sure that there is a right or wrong here... and personally think that Blackbeards comment is rediculous. JMHO .

who suggested upper body after deads? i'm confused.
anyway, you say that you don't subscribe to his theory of doing compound lifts but you say that squats, deads and bench form an important part of your rotation. again, confused.
anyway, if your already focussing on compound lifts then it's ok. i guess we all tend to assume that someone working a split is going to clutter up his program with too much iso stuff - seems a wrong assumption in this case. :)
i think you might want to try out the split i gave you... increase the frequency - you might like it , just a thought :)

it is not directed at anyone

"assnozzle" refers to the bodybuilders in the magazines..you have to remember those guysdid not get that big doing isolation type work..they got big by eating a ton taking a lot of drugs and lifting heavy weights

how many times you see a guy doing 3 different moves and about 10 sets for rear delts yet hes got chicken legs?????

maybe i just got confused at your "split"... could you post a more detailed version of it please... i love compound movements and revolve everything that i do around them ,,, so i'm sorry for the confusion. thanks
