How many exercises per workout do you guys do? 8? 9? 10? 4?
How many?

And how many days a week do you lift?

[slobberknocker]

On my current routine, I do 4 days a week. 2-3 exercises per workout. Low volume works for me.

[znak]

I do three or four exercises, four times a week. One intense hour.

Monday- Chest
Wed- back
Fri- shoulders
Sat- Legs

[Roidfever]

I do about 4 exercises for small bodyparts and 5 for the large ones. Every exercise consits out of 1 set all out, low volume.

[Slugger]

Is 8 exercises too many?

My workout is this (all sets 10,8,6,4,2 or to failure)

Mon:
Dumbell Press
Incline Dumbell press
Incline Flys
Tricep pushdowns
Neck machine
Bent over flys
standing side lat raises
standing front lat raises

Weds
Squats
Deads
Leg curls
Leg extensions
calve raises
Barbell shrugs
upright rows
Back Hyperextensions

Fri
preacher curls
reverse preacher curls
hammer curls
front forearm curls
reverse forearm curls
seated rows
lat pulldowns
chin ups

Would this be better?....
Mon
Dumbell Press
Tricep pushdowns
standing side lat raises
standing front lat raises

Weds.
Squats
Deads
Shrugs
Neck machine

Fri
Seated rows
Lat pull downs
Preacher curls
Reverse preacher curls

Is it necessary to train calves? Wouldn't doing the core lifts like squat and deads hit the calves?

[JGK]

I do four days a week 5-6 exercises per day. Has worked well so far.

[DARKSEID]

3-4 days a week. 2 exercises per workout, 5 with dc

[Slugger]

5 with dc?

Also, how does my workout look?

[Optica]

8 diffrent excercises X 5 sets = 40 sets a day.. thats nuts. I like to do sets of 5s and pyramid my weight, but i did alot less excersies mabye like 4 or 5 and thats even pushing it.


You gotta judge your body right, i was doin 12, 10, 8 before and gained strength. IM about ready to start bulking so im switchign to 8,6,4. With the same excersises but alto heavier weight and i feel just as sore when i was doin hi reps AND hi amounts of sets.

If ya cut down the excersies by half mabye, then you have that half of excerises to switch to in the next 4-6-8 weeks that will stimulate your muscles diffrently producing better results later on

Just my 2 cents..

[Mr. Death]

5-6 days a week. Number of exercises always varies.

[LM1332]

4 to 5 reps 3 days a week

Sunday Monday off, Really don't like doing anything upper body after working shoulders hard since it will also hit shoulders and overtrain them. Back day hit's my biceps good enough during a bulking cycle, because of intesity and weight being used. I switch between workout 1 and 2 every other week Do plenty of warmups and only 2 all out sets per exercise. This seems to work good for me for size but will need to change things for cutting up. I also try get 3 days of calves in since it's my weakest point.
