    New Routine

    Hey guys, I have been doing this routine for quite a long time and want to switch it up:

    Day 1: Chest/Tricep
    Day 2: Back/Bicep
    Day 3: Quads/Hams
    Day 4: Shoulders/Traps/Calves/Abs
    Day 5: Off
    Day 6: Repeat

    I've never really done an arm day before, except for when i was young and not lifting right to begin with. I was thinking between these two

    Day 1: Chest/Bicep
    Day 2: Quads/Hams
    Day 3: Shoulder/Traps
    Day 4: Back/Tricep
    Day 5: Off
    Day 6: Repeat

    every odd day i'd do calves and even days do abs

    Day 1: Chest
    Day 2: Back
    Day 3: Shoulders/Traps
    Day 4: Quads/Hams
    Day 5: Biceps/Triceps
    Day 6: Off

    day 1 and 4 i would do calves and 2 and 5 i'd do abs

    Any input is appreciated, i wanted to start this upcoming week. Also will be changing the exercises that I do, but want the outline first. Thanks

    Switch up triceps with traps, and add another rest day.

    Here is the thing with workouts, you need to try them out for a while and see what works. There are workouts out there that will work for some and won't work for others (over-all results). But looking at all the ones you have I would say it looks good. What kind of reps are you doing, what results are you looking for, and what are your stats?

    Im not saying this workout isn't working, I have been doing it for an extremely long time and has progressed me the most. I just thought changing it up would be a smart idea for my gains. Because I will have a dedicated arm day rather than spliting my arm muscle to the end of heavy work out with a larger muscle. I've also heard to switch it up every now and then and I have decided to do so.

    well that's exactly why I am doing this, the program that I have been doing has worked wonders, but I'm thinking that gains will be better if I switch it up.

    By the way, on an arms only day, should I train biceps then triceps or triceps then biceps or switch every workout. Im thinking triceps then biceps.

    On arm days you really can't good wrong with starting with either bi's or tri's. See what works for you and find out if you feel stronger going with tri's first and/or bi's first.
