Is this better?
I've always been a fan of working out one muscle group per day. The idea is to go in and lift, ballz to the wall for 45 or so min. Here's what I'm thinking:
Day1: Legs
Day2: Rest
Day3: Chest
Day4: Back/Abs
Day5: Tris
Day6: Rest
Day7: Shoulders/Traps
Day8: Bis
I'll go in each day with 3 different workouts for each muscle group and 3 sets per workout of 6-8 reps. I start at 6 reps with the heaviest weight I can move then lower the weight to where I can stay within the 6-8 range for each consequitive set. This applies to all workouts except for legs and calves. Legs I'll probably do about 5 sets of 6-8, and calves...hell, I'll just wail the hell out of em. So, how does this look guys?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but every consequtive set past the first causes your body to lose more and more energy, therefore the last half of the workout would be much less quality than the first half. This is my philosophy on lifting. Do you think the loss of energy isn't significant enough to really matter?

Move tris to day 6 and rest to day 5. I would never do this split. It just looks kinda funny maybe under training.

O.k. here we go.
Chest/Tris: When you work out your chest it warming up your tris. Since this is happening why not go ahead and workout your tris.
Back/Bis: The same thing applies here back warms up bis.
When hitting the bis and tris just go for heavy compound movements. 3 sets for each with the reps like this 10,8,6 or 8,6,4 depending on how heavy you want to go.
Its not going to take much to kill your tris and bis after chest and back. Doing it this way makes it easier to not overtrain. Hope this helps.

I appreciate your time, man. That's some good reasoning; I'll give it a try.

I personally gain more with a 8 days cycle. I like to have plenty of rest.

Follow Brew's training cycle. That looks better
