Do 2 compound exercises and one iso exercise for chest and that is all you need. Read as much as you can...there is so much to learn about weight training. Also, I couldnt tell you if you are overtraining other muscles without knowing what you do for them. I can say that you should do triceps with chest and biceps with back instead of working your arms after doing chest and back on the previous workout days.

agreed. I would only do flat bench, incline bench, and an iso such as fly's. I personally can't do flies so i do cable crossovers.

Do bi's and back together, and tri's and chest together.

So all I need to do for each body part is 3 excercises, how many sets? So if I do chest and tris monday how would the rest of my routine look?

It is a great split. You do traps on Monday and then back the next day...I am sure that it works for you, but I would not like to do rowing movements (which involve traps) the day after I directly hit my traps. Does that bother you??? Do you have a particular reason for this split as opposed to the one I do, just curious?

3 reasons. i dont do legs on friday because i need to walk on the weekend. also i dont do a lot for my traps now so it doesnt interfere with back day. also i need the weekend off after i do chest.

your split looks nice too tho.

3 or 4 sets per body part. depends how that body part feels that day for me.
reps, well that depends on the body part. 12-15 for legs, 10-12 chest and back, 6-10 for small parts

[david beads]

thanx Juicy, what about excercises is it correct that I shouldn't do more than 3 per bodypart?

[catabolic kid]

If you are doing more volume and less intensity you can do 4 exercises per bodypart...we just said three to keep you form overtraining. Once you become more ecperienced you will know how to gague yourself.
