New workout ok???

[hsvcraig]

Please critique this, I'm bored with the 1 muscle work out each time for example I normally do each muscle by themselves and do them once a week. I was wanting to change it up a bit and come up with this. I'm currently on a course of tren and low test,

M - chest shoulder bis
T - tricep back
W - rest
Th - legs
Fri - rest

Repeat, so thatd be....

Sat - chest shoulders bis
Sun - tricep back
Mon - rest
Tues-legs
Wed - rest

6 sets for each muscle in between 7-10 reps, that doesn't include warming up.

Is there anything wrong with this or does anyone have a link to a better workout?
Thanks

Also I'm 28 and just going for adding size. I'm 240lbs 6"1 and and around 15% bodyfat

Don't think I could do chest AND shoulders in the same workout. Also your doing triceps the day after chest IMO these should be don't together because the tricep gets worked when doing chest.

This is what I do-
Mon- shoulders
Tuesday- chest and tri
Wednesday- rest
Thursday - back and biceps
Friday- cardio and abs
Sat- legs

If I find my self with a little extra time on any particular day I will do a couple of sets of a certain muscle what is lagging for example I will do calves after shoulders and biceps after legs, if I have the time. Hope this helps bud

I'd opt to put biceps with back and triceps with chest and delts or your back training will suffer because you hit biceps the day before

Any routine will work, just be consistent and make progression

[tigerspawn]

Yeah why aren’t you working Bis with back and tris with chest? Those pairings make the most sense. You are already hitting tris when doing chest and bis when doing back.

Ok thanks I'll switch it up, big siv can I ask how many sets you do for each muscle? And is Sunday rest day for you?

Depending on what I'm doing at that time determines my sets for example I will do two weeks with high volume something like 12-15 sets per muscle (4-5 exercises) at 8-12 reps each then the next two weeks I will do really heavy 6-8 reps with 12 sets max. It's a bit like the power/hypertrophy routine that's on this board only adapted to suit me.

Sunday will be rest if I need to rest otherwise I will add in cardio and abs.

I can't stress enough that you need to experiment and work out what works for you. I'm still playing around with my routine don't think it will ever be perfect. As baseline said though consistency is key

I agree with Base here.

And my favorite routine is the Dorian Yates improvised.

Day one: Delts, triceps, abs
Day two: Back, traps, rear delts
Day three: REST
Day four: Chest, biceps, abs
Day five: Quads, hams, calves
Day six: REST

personally, i figured that i had this structured perfectly...

monday - chest & bis
tuesday - legs
wednesday - off
thursday - back & tris
friday - off
saturday - shoulders
sunday - off

tris are hit 3x week, bis are hit 2x week..
small muscles - shoulders, bis, tris = 9-10 sets
big muscles - back & chest - 14-16 sets
legs - 16-20 sets

This is my style i got inspired from arnie. Been doing for 2 months seeing good gains.

Day 1 chest/back/traps
Day 2 legs/forearms
Day 3 shoulders
Day 4 bis/tris/forarms/traps
Day 5 rest
Repeat

Monday looks like a busy day!

To echo what some people have said, might be best to seperate chest and shoulders. From personal experience, I find going a bit too heavy on chest day starts putting too much stress on my shoulders, and if coupled with a shoulder session after, you could get injury.

I prefer to do things like chest, legs and back on their own, but I'll combine shoulders with traps, and combine triceps with biceps.

Hey everyone is different.

You should try super setting back and chest for the ultimate pump.

Flat dumbells-lat pull down close grip
Incline dumbells- bent over barbell rows
Incline flys- dumb bell rows

For me if you are gonna super set 2 big muscle groups you will be tired on the last sets therefore but putting 100% into each set. Separating the big muscles legs, back, delts and chest is the way forward IMO

Ya know I looked at all these and mickey, n base line are very good. As far as me with some of these others, I've never in my career done two big major muscles in one day. Just me,....crazy mike
