    1 Ab exercise 3 sets each

    Tuesday Legs
    18 sets of Legs (all superseted with each other in pairs or calf's) 3 sets each
    9 sets of Calfs supersetted with 9 of the leg sets

    Wednesday Off

    Thursday Back Traps & Bi's
    4 Back exercises 3 sets each (short rest 1 min)
    2 Trap exercise supersetted with 2 Biceps exercises 3 sets each

    2 Shoulder exercises superseted with 2 Triceps exercises 3 sets each

    Well looks like a good split but I'd need to see the exercises being performed.

    Looks like a Blood and Guts HIT routine with volume sets..... ha

    First, I find standing there and do nothing a waste when i could be doing abs. I almost always only do small muscle groups with abs.

    Second, the pace is too slow i feel. It keeps you moving and really increases your heart rate and keeps me from doing cardio.

    I dont feel i am over doing it but please tell me if anyone thinks that I am. I know that just doing all supersets is not good because you will jeopardize gains. I try to keep them to two completely different movements because I dont want to overwork the muscle.

    I also have not superseted stuff and I don't see a strength different.

    Thanks for the feedback

    x2 why no cardio?
    good it if it works for you.
    2 days in between tris and chest enough time for your tri's to recover? mine usually hurt for 3 days.

    I do no cardio because i hate it and I dont really see the need to get lower than 8%. If I am going to do cardio its going to have to be some type of class. I just cant get motivated for it.

    Now on the recovery aspect usually I am sore the next day and tight the second but by the third I am fully recovered. The only muscle that hurts for an extended period of time is my legs. I go as heavy as I can go and do them to failure.

    maybe when you start back after not working out for a while but this shouldn't happen if you stay in the gym.

    i do them once a week, every thursday. i been doing this same thing for the past 6 weeks or so and just recently changed.
    weighted dips, then
    overhead cable tricep extension (with rope) then
    cable tricep extension with the V bar
    4 sets each

    i find cardio hard to do when starting up again. start with a few mins and increase every week.
