Split question.

[Sfla80]

K so I have always done this split. Except for one day has changed recently. Which I don't know how big of a difference it would be. That's why I am here to get opinions. This schedule is based on work. Not much room to deviate from.

Monday night- legs
Tuesday morning - chest
Wednesday morning - back
Thursday off
Friday night - shoulders
Saturday - off
Sunday morning - arms ( bis and tris)

The Sunday used to be Saturday and was giving me a full two days before my chest days. Now only a day and a half really. Is this a problem. Not enough rest for my tris before chest?

And another question would be I'm doing currently 12-16 sets. Depends on the group. Too much? And would it be too much when I start a cycle?

The split looks good. 12-16 sets on larger muscle groups is fine and I'd lean towards 12 max on smaller muscle groups. Have you cycled before? What are your stats?

Yes done 3. First one no research of course but know everything after that one.

New cycle:

Test e 250/ 2x wk 1-12
Mast e 250/ 2x wk 1-12
Anavar 60 mg Ed 8-14
Hcg 250 2x wk 1-13
Ldex .25 eod 1-12

Nolva 40/20/20/20 14-18
Clomid 100/50/50/50 14-18

Sorry stats:

5-9
178
Bf 14%
32 yo

I think everything looks good. Once your cycle gets going you may wonna change your split to 4 day eg.

Mon back and bi
Tues chest and tri
Wed legs
Thurs off
Fri shoulders
Sat off
Sun repeat rotation

So that the frequency between hitting muscle groups is higher to maximize results and gains while on cycle. Also recovery will be much quicker while on cycle.

Dam no spotter, might wonna throw in drop sets and Supersets to help go to failure.

I usually do but how does that affect to total amount of sets?

To me it's counted as one set eg. If I were doing bench press and I did 1 set of a moderate weight, next set slight heavier, the last 2 I'd max out and drop the weight by half each time which is 2 more sets. So 4 sets total.

Another question bout my split so kept this thread open.

My arm day. Could I split it up. Tris one day and bis another. Would be at the gym 6 days a week I know. I wouldn't over load either one. 3-4 good excersises. Then I would jump on cardio.

Bad idea?

Doing arms the day before your chest day ain't a good idea as your triceps will be tired (you use your triceps when doing chest, biceps when doing back) imo having a day just for tri then another for bicep is not a wise idea as they are small muscles. Save your time and energy, have a extra day off ;-)

951 even at the current split I have a day and a half between arms and chest.
