    Hey bro, injuries suck but dont worry. muscle memory... you will be g2g in no time!! So on monday take a chest exercise out and add one to bis. Tuesday for legs.. do not do squats and dead lifts on the same day, could cause injury.. those are heavy lifts and put a lot of stress on the body.. allow 48 hours in between the two. Wednesday for back looks good!! Thursday looks good too!! Yea add some abs and cardio if you want in your training too. Sense you are coming back from injury take it easy at first.. this training routine you have here is good, but a little too much if you are just starting again.. so maybe until you get back in decent shape you might wanna cut this routine a little short, skip a couple of exercises, then after a couple weeks hit the whole routine... and you are back in the game!! Good luck brah!!

    I actually usually do my abs every day....i forgot to mention it So do you suggest I take an isolation exercise out of the chest i.e the crossovers? The reason I had less biceps was because they seem to over power everything else lol! Seen as they get worked with Back day as well I thought I would do less? The reason I did not put cardio in as well is because it is really hard for me to gain weight haha....so deadlifts moved to which day do you think?

    Here is my suggested work out if people could comment on it that would be great! Thanks!

    Monday-Chest/Biceps
    Incline Dumbell press 4x 10 reps 3 sets
    Flat Dumbell Press 3x10 reps
    Incline Dumbell Flies 3x10 drop this
    Cable Crossovers 4 x10 reps
    Pushups-Until failure drop this
    Standing EZ-bar curls 4x 10 warm up then 2 working sets to complete failure with forced or cheat reps on the end

    add incline dumbell curls here, same as above

    Dumbell hammer curls 4x10 same again, drop the number of sets to 2 and really push the intensity of the sets

    Tuesday-Legs
    Squats-4x10 reps
    Deadlifts 4x10 reps I have done deads after squats and actually did like them.... I will say however that you definitely will not get the most benefit doing it this way..... Alternate and do one each week.... Leg press is a great overall leg exercise and you can really up the intensity with it in a safe manor

    Leg curls 3x 10 reps
    Lunges 3x10 reps
    Calf Raises-till failure This has no structure at all..... 3 sets of seated and 3 sets of standing calf raises to complete failure with rest pause sets to finish each movement

    Wednesday-Back
    Wide grip pull ups (bodyweight)-4x10 reps
    Wide grip lat pull down-4x10 reps No need, you have just one pull ups which is a better movement anyway and doing almost exactly the same thing
    Seated row 3x10 reps
    One arm Rows 4x10
    Mid grip pull ups (bodyweight) 4x10 reps use a close grip bar, the one you use on the rows and hook it over a pull up bar,,,, this is a great finisher as you will still have strenght in this movement, over emphasise the static contraction at the top and make the reps harder with big statics and controlled negatives.... use a spotter to do forced reps here

    Thursday-Shoulder/Triceps
    Dumbell shoulder press-4x10
    Dumbell front Raises-3x10
    Rear Delt Fly-4x10
    Cable Side lateral Raise-4x10

    Other than dropping the volume a little you look G2G here

    Tricep pull downs (bar) 4x10
    Tricep dips 4x10
    Add 3 sets of scull crushers and make the other exercises 3 sets a piece for triceps... forget the movements you have listed after this
    Pullovers3x10 ???
    Tricep rope pull downs-4 till failure X

    When I see some add some muscle and strength I am planning to add a full body workout on the Saturday? Forget that, do this with enough intensity in the week and you will be fuked Please help me out if you can! Thank you very much

    Overall my general critique is that you need to drop the volume a little and focus on using intensity techniques to get the most out of fewer working sets.... look into forced reps, negatives, rest pause sets etc....

    So 4 sets could lead to overtraining? I trust you but could you just explain why the volume should be less? I've always been told to do 4 sets haha

    Im an advocate of higher intensity training...

    With high intensity training you do not require as many sets....


    If you can with me and did 1 working set on a movement in a high intensity fashion you wouldnt even want to do a second.


    Training with higher volume does have many benefits, however I would much rather see people learn how to train hard first (assuming there skill level is great enough) with a HIT type routine and then introduce higher volume training in an attempt to periodize the routine....


    First you need to learn how to train... Meaning mind muscle connection, perfect control over the weight in all movements.

    Then you need to learn how to train harder... Keeping tight form, mind muscle connection while implementing intensity techniques...

    Then you need to periodize enough factors in you routine to prevent a plateau... Volume, intensity, movements etc....

    And do you think this is the best way to get a fitness model type look?

    If your goals are to build muscle then yes probably.... Especially if you have never followed a HIT type routine....
