My NEW routine, critique plz

**calichico** · 09-22-2006, 09:31 PM

I have started this new routine I came up with

Mon. Chest, back, legs
Tues. Bi, tri, shoulders.
Wens. Chest, back, legs
Thurs. Bi, tri, shoulders
Friday chest, back, legs
sat. bi, tri, shoulders

I do abs, forearms, calves, and shrugs everyday.

On monday, I'll focus on upper chest, my wings, and my hams
On tues. I'll focus on inner bis, inner tris, and shoulder presses
on wens. I'll focus on middle chest, middle of back and quads
On thurs. I'll focus on outter bis, outter tris, and outter shoulder
On fri. I'll focus on lower chest, total back, and total legs
On sat. I'll focus on brachialis bi., total tri, and total shoulder

I don't lift heavy, I believe in maximum effort and training with with highest intensity possible. I don't rest more that 45 sec. between sets and I superset a lot.

I usually go 4-5 exercises per muscle group, 3-4 sets per exercise.

what do u guys think about how i split up my muslce workouts, like inner bi one workout and then outter bi the next workout, is splitting up the muscle like that a good idea?

Please give me your opinion or what you think I can do to make this routine better, thanks everyone!

I never did it like that, but definitely give it a try for like a 3 months or so and let me know how it works out.

thats alot different. never seen anything like this before. with 100 % intensity and focus, i think it will do ok. won't know until you try it out. good luck and keep us posted

yea hes typed this question in about 4 times, i answered one of them. 6days a week, hitting each muscle 3X a week with "the highest intensity possible"?

sorry man, this is overtraining to the extreme.

I would try:
M & Th
Chest, tri's & shoulders

Tu & Fri
Back, bi's & Legs

Wed, Sat & Sun off.

This allows you to hit everything 2x wk & you don't hit any muscles 2 days in a row. You get a min 2 days off in between. Just don't over do it. Too much volume= overtraining. JMO

PS, If you want to train 3x wk full body workouts, then look into HST
