man, thats always a tough one. maybe

M- back (deads), bi
T-off
W-chest tris
T-off
F-legs
S-shoulders, abbs

and every week will be different slightly. like the 2nd week tuesday would be back

shoulder shgrugg

[IronReload04]

its just too hard somtimes to let everything be the same exact day week in and week out with the higher volume 1 or 2 muscles a day thing


Either way, eventually you will get to a point where you need an extra day to recoup anyway, and you just cant skip that next workout. might as well use all of your days in a week

[l2elapse]

maybe do legs on friday and that way i could have ample time of test between back and legs

[IronReload04]

things get easier when you use a push pull method

where you combine chest, shoulders, tris

back and bis

and group those together. everything gets easier this way


then you could do

M- chest/delts/tris
T- back/bis
w-off
T-off
f-legs

this way, nothing gets overtrained, plenty of rest, the same stimulus to grow, more days to do early morning cardio and stay/get lean

i like that but i am currently doing a 3 day routine and i have to get to teh gym 4 days now or ill go crazy...i have too much time on my hand and need to get otu

[felixno9]

so keep these same ideas and just split some exercises up, like go thursday and do delts and bias, abs, adn then hit back up extra hard, upper, lower, lats, the whole thing. or split chest and tris, what ever you want. i split chest and tris sometimes so i can hit tris harder. I find that after a chest work out my trias are some what burnt and i cna' hit them as hard, so i split them.

S chest
M off
T back (deads)
W off (need the recovery if you dead HEAVY)
R shoulders
F arms
S legs / abs

i just started doing deads too and have about the same workout schedule. i asked a trainer buddy about where to put the deads. he said on back days. my split-
chest,tri
back,bis
off
shoulders, traps
legs
off, and repeat

[peteroy01]

the only bad thing im noticing is my traps are pretty sore after the deads. but they are growing great since i started the deads. if i feel that i am overtraining i just take an extra day off.

did you ever think that maybe, the stimulis from training chest and using heavy weights might be a better stimulis than doing a whole bunch of isolation exercises for an hour?

i can understand that. but you dont grow in the gym, you grow when you are resting and eating

IMO do them on leg day, any questions about deadlifts, feel free to pm me.

Here is how my routine used to be before I became a wheelchair user. (its a little different now from the chair )

MON: Chest / Tris
TUE: Quads / Abs
WED: Rest
THU: Upper Back / Bis
FRI: Shoulders / Lower Back & Hamstrings

Deadlifts being done on Friday where I worked lower back and hamstrings. I loved that split, didnt overwork anything and continued to see gains with it.

Dead's on leg day

personally, I do them on leg day also.

[Vicktor]

What's the pros/cons for doing them on leg day?

[Doc.Sust]

Dead's on leg day

YES leg day, the lift uses more legs and lower back than anything else, it is NOT an upper body movement.(yes there is some upper body musculature involved in the lift, but those muscles are not the primary target or reason to do this lift) it works , hamstrings ,glutes and lowerback(the entire posterior chain)also with some involvement of traps and lats. the advantage to doing them on leg day is simple, it is a leg lift! much better movemnt than leg extensions or leg curls, you are better off doing squats and deadlift and calling it a day, than doing leg press, ext, and curls. deadlift and squats hit the major muscle groups much mre and create a hell of alot more size IMO than any other leg movements. alot of people have trouble doing both in the same day, i myself have 2 leg days, one which i squt, and do squat like auxillaries, and another which i deadlift and than do some more squat and deadlift auxillary work
