is this training regime ok?

[sust250]

Ok, i changed my routine as feedback on my old one wasnt so good!

DAY 1:
Deadlifts , 3 working sets of 8 reps
Hamstring curls, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Leg extension, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Calve raise, 4 working sets of 8 reps

DAY 2:
EZ barbell curls 3 working sets of 8 reps- narrow grip
EZ barbell curls 3 working sets of 8 reps-wide grip
Seated row, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Dumbell rows, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Chin ups underhand grip, 3 sets to failure.

DAY 3
Flat bench press, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Incline bench press, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Dumbell or cable flies, 3 working sets of 8 reps
Tricep pushdown(pulley) 3 working sets of 8 reps
Skull crushers, 3 working sets of 8 reps.

DAY 4, 5 and 6 off then repeat.

Please advice if this is ok..i know i say 8 reps, this is a guide, i go till failure on the last two sets.

I know theres no squats in there but i just dont feel comfortable doing them, ive tried many times and it just doesnt feel rite..i know i know but im leaving them out for now.

I know everyone will have opinions of how they would change this -every1 is different, so i just want to know if there are any major flaws that need changing.

Thanks

just to note: on day 2 , that is not the order i do those exercises in,ill be doing the chinups first, then the rows, then the ez. I aslo forgot to add i do some forearm work there too, as my final exercise(reverse grip barbell curls and wrist curls with a barbell)

and i forgot to note, im training for size.

Just a few suggestions.

1. Deadlifts when you train back.
2. If you don't like squats, do legpresses for training legs.
3. You not training shoulders?

How about,
Day 1. Chest/ Triceps
Day 2. Back/ Biceps
Day 3. Legs/ Shoulders

ok, yes i do deadlifts when i train legs..correct me if im wrong but the muscles worked in the deadlift are:glutes,hams,LOWER back, traps ,quads and calves. On day 2 i train the upper back without any strain on the lower. Maybe im missing something, if i am then i am all ears.thanks.

deadlifts does do those muscles,but when i do deadlifts with 260 kgs for 6 reps my legs dont come in to it that must. they do burn a bit, but squats man, nothing can replace that. i find deadlifts dont give thoses quads enough work... sorry.... squats,squats and more squats... you need a leg press movement

and day 2- back first, then biceps. try this for biceps barbell curls then hammer curls then close grip ez bar curls. but day 3 looks sweet

 

[bigmitch69]

deadlifts work your back, sure your legs come into it a little but mainly works your back.

bench for chest
deads for back
squats(legpress) for legs

 

[bigmitch69]

day 3 is ok but i wud do skullcrushers before pushdowns. pushdowns when triceps are burnt out, safer exercise if your triceps gives out. IMO

 

[estray]

Deadlifts on back day. i wouldnt call legpress a good substitute for squats. everyone should squat. That routine pretty much sucks and you need days off in between workouts. all you need is a push/pull/legs split done on monday, wednesday, and friday.

 

[gives110%]

i do like bigmitch training split

 

[bigmitch69]

Everyone SHOULD squat but if he isn't going too, then don't you think legpress would be slighter better than leg extensions?

 

[Double3]

No need for all the curls.

One exercise 3 sets would be fine.

 

[gives110%]

week 1 leg press
week 2 hack squat

 

[Double3]

Everyone SHOULD squat but if he isn't going too, then don't you think legpress would be slighter better than leg extensions?

Yeah fuck the leg extensions and ham curls

Yes. More than slightly better. leg extensions do have their place though in a bodybuilders routine. not really in a powerlifter routine.

 

[gumbo]

I stopped doing leg extensions 6 months ago and my knee pain went away. There is no need for them.

DAY 1:
Leg Press, 3 working sets of 8 reps

DAY 2
Deadlifts , 3 working sets of 8 reps

Is it an issua that im working out 3 days in a row even tho they are totally different bodyparts ? 3days on 3 off and repeat.

Thanks for the feedback

 

[gives110%]

3 days in a row.... the question is...... CAN YOU PUT IN 110%, IN THE GYM ON EVERY EXERCISES, THREE DAYS IN A ROW? truthifuly i would do
day1 legs
day 2 chest triceps
day 3 off
day 4 back and biceps
day 5 off
day 6 off
good thing about this split, is a good break between legs and back. to save your lower back. take it carefull with backs and joints.

Not very good.. again you have to vary the rep ranges. 3 sets of 8 is crap for every lift. Deadlifts work the lower body a LOT so keep that in mind as well.
