My split.

Mon - Legs and Deadlifts
Tue - Chest and Triceps
Thu - Back and Biceps
Sat - Shoulders, Traps and recently incorporated grip strength work.

Andy, can you list the exercises you do? Would like to start this kind of split myself.

ok...here's my two choices...number one is kinda standard and number two is totally different...

1) Mon: chest/tris
Wed: Back/Bis
Fri: Shoulders/Legs

2)MONDAY: (WEEK 1)
Chest: Flat Bench
Shoulders: Military Press
Triceps: either close grip or skull crushers
Traps: Shrugs.
Deadlifts

WEDNESDAY:
Pulldowns and chin ups.
bent rows
biceps: dumbell curls
calves: standing calf raises
quads: squats
hams : leg curls

FRIDAY: Same as mondays workout
Monday: SAME AS WEDNESDAY ON WEEK ONE AND SO ON.

First set is light warm up, second is medium (6-8) reps, followed by 3 work sets (6-10 reps, 3-5 reps, 11-15 reps) each set taken to failure...

...what ya'll think, which way should I go?

crazycal1 · 01-03-2006, 03:11 AM

well i would make deads and squats the first exercises of their workout and calf raises should be done after squats(i`m told its dangerous cos thy may be unstable-cos their tired)

I do 12-week routines followed by a week off, mixing up bodyparts each time. Im currently doing:

Mon: Quads / Triceps
Tue: Chest / Calfs / Abs
Thu: Back / Traps / Hamstrings
Fri: Shoulders / Biceps

Weds/Sat/Sun: Days off.

that was actually what i started with several years ago and then I rotated away from it...I would be used to it and i would be comfortable with it, but I feel pulled toward the second one because it is completly new to me and looks like it holds potential...i blatently stole it from the "ironmanHITT" routine...any other thoughts?

I gotta say I quite like 2. Plus trying a new routine is always refreshing
