    Critique my new 6 day split

    Monday: Chest/calves (20/10 sets)
    Tuesday: Bi's/Squats (20/8 sets)
    Wednesday: Shoulders/Traps (20/15 sets)
    Thursday: Chest/Calves (20/10 sets)
    Friday: Tricepts/Quads,Glutes,Hams (20/10 sets)
    Saturday: Back/Cardio (20sets/30min)

    20 sets may seem like alot but I'm including my warm up sets for each exercise so I guess I come out to around 14 actual work sets.

    To be honest i dont like your split, your doing back once every week but chest and calfs twice. I could never do triceps the day after chest..

    How long are you spending in the gym each session??
    Do not ask me for a source check.

    Usually around an hour and 15 to an hour and 30 min..

    I NEVER wait more than a min and a half btwn sets so Im in and out quickly

    I havent had any problems doing tricepts after chest. Lots of my chest exercises DONT use much tricept. (LOTS of flys/crossovers)

    I don't like it either. What about abs? I think you should start over, and honestly I'm not trying to be a dick just trying to help.

    Shit i completely forgot my ab routine.

    Mon- I work lower abs around 150-200 reps
    Tue- Obliques again 150-200
    Wed- if abs are tired i'll skip them, if I do them I'll do some form of resistance (weighted sit-ups/crunches)
    Thurs- same as Mon
    Fri- same as Tuesday
    Sat- same as Wed

    And what do you not like about it? Could you be more specific.

    Im considering making a different split so that my weekends are free.

    It would be:
    Mon- Chest/Calves
    Tue-Bi's/Squat
    Wed-Shoulders/Traps
    Thur- Tri's/Calves
    Fri-Back/Hams,Glutes,Quads/Cardio

    Same abs as before just not doing anything on SAT or SUN.

    Do you guys like my 2nd split better?

    If you are trying to bulk up you should stick with compound movements, bench, squats, deadlifts, pullups and shoulder press.

    If you are doing these movements you would not be able to work triceps the day after chest or biceps the day after back.

    I'm also not a fan of working muscles more than once a week especially with such high volume.

    Hit each muscle once a week 4-8 sets on small muscles and 8-12 sets for larger msucles.

    Too many guys over train aand I think you are one of them with that routine.
