My current routine is..
Monday: Shoulders and triceps
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: rest
Thursday: Chest and bi's
Friday: legs
I usually split my workouts into two 20min sessions trying to beat the amount of sets i can do with the same weight or heavier
ex. Monday: Shoulders
Perform 10 sets in 20 minutes week 1, The following week when im training shoulders i would try perform 12 sets in 20 minutes with the same weight or heavier, trying to beat my previous record
On back day i spend the first half of my workout doing deadlifts, then the second part a 20 minute interval of trying to beat my record amount of sets from the week before. I do the same on leg day but instead of doing deadlifts i do squats.
I work a physical job so 40 minute workouts are ideal for me and have actually made great gains from doing this routine
My question is though there will be a point where i wont be able to outnumber the sets i can do in 20 minutes, pretty much reaching a plateau
So should i extend the time of the workouts and start new rocords?
or focus on making the weight heavier while the number of sets in 20 minutes stay the same?
Appreciate feedback
