Planning out new workout routine, criticism needed
I feel bad making a separate thread for this and feel like it would be good if there were a sticky made solely for routines. But hey, nothing I can do about it.
My current routine is pretty simple:
Monday-Legs/Shoulders
Tuesday-Back/Biceps/A
Wednesday-Chest/Triceps
Thursday-Off
Then repeat from beginning
Half hour of cardio every day
I've decided to change it because I want to put on more mass, and hit the muscles hard and give them more time to heal
Monday-Legs
Tuesday-Shoulders
Wednesday-Biceps
Thursday-Chest/Abs
Friday-Back
Saturday-Triceps
Sunday-off
And I'll still continue to do cardio every day
Does this look good? Honestly you can tell me if this routine sucks, I'd rather be told that it sucks and make changes.

maybe u should do
Monday-chest
Tuesday-back
Wednesday-shoulder
Thursday-tris
Friday-biceps
Saturday-legs
then do it in reverse the week after..
also i rekon if ur used to doing ur whole body twice a week doing i bodypart a week will feel like nothing maybe u can add some extra sets or exercises.
for chest, back, shoulders i tend to do 5-6 exercise 4-5 sets each depending on how i feel on the day cause u wanna hit these big muscle from every possible angle so they are ripped and hurt the next day.
and for bi n tri i do 4 exercise 4 sets each
Sunday-off

Excuse my ignorance, but how isn't there enough days off for recovery? I tried to plan it out so that secondary muscles being trained weren't consecutive

Your split looks pretty good imo.
Have you ever tried:
chest/Tri's
back/bi's
legs
shoulders/traps
abs/calves
with cardio every lifting day. So I take two days a week off when I feel necessary. Somedays it's after legs day, sometimes is after chest day. My body just kinda tells me when I need to take a day off. I've been using that split recently and I like it so far.
Not trying to knock your current split, I use to do something similar, I just like changing things up every once in a while ya know?
Good luck.
edit: I see that's kinda similar to your previous split. Never mind then, rock the new split and see how it goes.Last edited by Thug Nasty; 04-15-2008 at 11:34 AM.
