Default Routine Adjustment

...currently doin 3 on,1 off, 2 on, 1 off, etc...with each body part getting its own day...Whatda all think about this...

2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 1 off, etc...
Day 1:Chest & Tris:
Day2: Shoulders & Legs
Day 3: Off
Day 4:Back & Bi's
Day 5: Chest & Tri's
Day 6: Off
Day 7: Shoulders & Legs
etc, etc...
...wondering if this could be overtraining...the thing im gonna try is keeping it to just two heavy sets for most exercises...the first exercise will be 4 sets (1 light, 1 medium, two heavy), the second exercise will be 3 sets (1 medium, two heavy) and the rest for the day will be two heavy (or working sets) for each exercise...so in total for both body parts only doin about 22 sets, but the majority of them are work sets with heavy weights...I'm Listening!

I was thinking of doing something similar to ramp up - i think its overtraining if you do this all the time, but maybe for a shock month i think it would be good. Also, day 2, a bit heavy isn't it ! shoulders and the entire set of leg muscles - blimey !

Good your keeping the sets fairly low, what rep range are u doing?

Grouping chest tri's and back bi's is deffo the way to go, but I think you will be overtraining slightly there.

I do...

Tue - Chest, Tri's & Calves
Thu - Back and Bi's
Sat - Shoulders, Hams & Quads

Yup soz buddy My computer has been really slow recently. My routine looks like this at the moment, with emphasis on my tri's and calves as they are weaker area's.

MONDAY - Triceps & Shoulders & abs
TUESDAY - Back & Bi's & cardio
WEDNESDAY - Quads & calves & abs
THURSDAY - Cardio
FRIDAY - Chest & Triceps & abs
SATURDAY - Back & Bi's & Calves & cardio
SUNDAY - bugger all

Most people will look at this routine and say it was overtraining and I would not recommend anyone this routine. This is the same routine my training partner follows (except he trains chest on monday instead of tri's)

This routine works really well for both of us, we are sensible in the amount of sets performed and we train with weights for no more than an hour.
