    Routine overview

    Im currently 18 years of age and have been lifting consistently for just over a year, I work a pretty physical job as a tradie, my following routine is

    week 1:
    Wednesday: chest and back
    Thursday: legs
    Friday: Shoulders and arms
    Saturday and sunday rest
    Monday: rear dealts
    Tuesday: Chest and back again
    rest until week 2

    week 2:
    Monday: Back
    Tuesday: Chest
    Wednesday:Shoulders
    Thursday: Legs
    Friday: Arms

    rest until wednesday of week 1

    I have extended the weeks apart so i have more rest days as i do work a physicall job and was finding if i train monday to friday every week i was burning out of energy, resulting in really shit workouts

    Ideas, thoughts and advice is greatly appreciated

    this is kind of a whacky routine.
    so w1 wed is chest. then you hit chest again in 6 day.... ok with that
    w1 thur is legs - this is getting confusing
    how many days off are you taking between w1 tues and w2 monday? a whole week?
    so if that is a whole week, then
    w1 thur legs - 13 days before you hit legs again?

    this is too confusing mate. do this for me
    run three consecutive weeks listing the days of the week and which week they belong to. don't take any shortcuts. if a day is off, then just write off. don't put two days on the same line

    do that, and i'll take another look

    thanks!

    Okay stats,
    Age: 18
    Height: 172cm
    Weight 71kg
    bf: 11 - 13%
    Bodytype: strong ecto
    Find it very hard to gain weight
    and a tradie is a tradesperson, ex. Plumber (Work a physical job)

    Rear delt day is pretty much shoulders but focus more on rear delts coz their lacking
    Here's one of my logs:

    Week 1
    4/1/12: Chest and back
    5/1/12: Legs
    6/1/12: Shoulders and arms
    7/1/12: rest
    8/1/12: rest
    9/1/12:Shoulders
    10/1/12: Chest and back again
    11/1/12 - 15/1/12: rest days

    week2:
    16/1/12:Back
    17/1/12:Chest
    18/1/12:Shoulders
    19/1/12:Legs
    20/1/12: Arms

    Appreciate the help guys, as u can clearly tell i am a bit of a newbie at creating my own routines, however have been training for a year so pretty confident with the exercises

    I suggest you don't create your own routine that looks terrible, search the web for a 4 day week body part split, with strong focus on compound movements...
    Some thing along the lines of
    Mon- shoulders/tris
    Tues- back
    Wed off
    Thurs- chest/bis
    Fri- legs
    Sat/sun-off

    I like the bis with chest and tris with shoulders as they are being worked directly and indirectly in the week, but have a search around plenty of good workouts out there, yours not being one of them though sorry.
