new Routine

british beef

hi there just wondered what people thought of this training split

(all exercises 1x set warm up, 1x work set, 1x set 30% less than work set)
Sat
Squat
bench press
incline press
shoulder press
skull crushers

Wed
deadlifts
chins
bicep curls
abs


have been doing garys full body routine but find the body parts trained last (usually arms) are lagging a bit
i hope all that makes sense!

any other suggestions would be appreciated

how come its only a 2 day split??
What are you aiming for- Size or Toned?

your 2 workouts are too varied for my liking!!
so do like Chest - Arms on 1 day
Shoulders Back on another and throw in Legs on one of them..

Abs on Both sessions!!

Its difficult on 2 day splits...Im not 100% sure what is best!! 3-day split i reckon is the best..

Someone on here will give you a better idea

Hopefully!!

Good luck

thank for the reply!
aiming for size and lots of it!!!! thought 2 day would mean more rest and less likely to miss any workouts. trying to keep it simple and focus on increasing the weights/reps every workout

Your workout is pretty similar to mine mate. I workout every third day, so thats pretty much twice a week.

I like your routine, but i would change a couple of things.

sat

Squats
bench press
d/b incline press (i would personally drop that tho)
shoulder press
dips (far superior to skull crushers imo)

wednesday

Deadlifts
wide grip chins
some kinda row (bent over row, cable row etc)
bicep curls
abs


IMO you have got the right idea mate! concentrate on compound movements, especially squats, deads and bench press. Make adding weight to the bar on those exercises mainly each week your main concern and you wont go far wrong!! Its all about progression, poundage progression! a small amount of weight on the bar each week soon adds up!

I think training twice a week is ideal as i read in another thread you have a very physical job. Training more and you could just run yaself into the ground.

Just my 2 pence as they say

crazycal1

yup-what he said.
twice a week training is very effective.
i`d also say dont try to gain on a 3 day split if ya cant gain on a 2 day one

einsteins mind was the key to all things...to understand more than to know.

thanks for your help! i was thinking of changing my work out to:

SAT
squat
incline press
dips
shoulder press

the reason for inclines is that ive been doing flat bench presses since i started and as a result have no upper chest and poor front delts so i thought inclines and dips would help build upper chest and cover lower chest and also triceps.(do you think this enough for triceps?)

was going to do this workout till the weights stop going up then switch it around but include flat bench press.

Seems like you have it sorted mate,,, you can't beat dip's and i envy peeps who can do them. I can't.

bulldozer

Yep!!

Makes sense to me mate.
