Training programme critique.

Caz84 · 04-09-2005, 05:16 PM

Hey,
Ive been away from the gym a while, but even when i did train i was completely self tought... with alot of success as well. Nevertheless ive formulated a new plan for when i resume the gym and thought id seek a critique and some advice (note that i will be starting a new cycle when i resume training).

Day 1: Abs and 30mins cardio in the morning, then chest and triceps at the gym.

Day 2: Lats, lower back, biceps and forearms.

Day 3: Abs and 30mins cardio in the morning, then delts, traps and triceps at the gym.

Day 4: Quads, hamstrings, glutes, inner & outer thigh, and calves.

Day 5: Day off and then repeat.

looks ok bud but if your only training everything once a week make sure you push your self to failiure on each set to hit the muscles hard as possibble.

why do you train triceps twice ?

how many sets and what rep range ?

Hey, firstly thanks for the feedback.

I wanted to train triceps twice a week because i was under the impression that they represented a larger proportion (2/3) of your arm compared to biceps (1/3) but if this is not a valid reason please let me know? But also my triceps are,lingering and do need some work as well.

I do around 4 excersises (1 compound, and 3 isolation), at 4 sets 6-8 reps.
