Ok I've heard alot of you on this bored talking about Squats and Deadlifts being a must so I strted doing them twice a week. Heres how my schedule worksout.

Mon-Biceps-Deadlift

Tue-Chest-Squat

Wed-Shoulders-Back

Thur-Legs-Calves

Fri-Triceps-Forarms-Deadlift

Sat-Sun-20-40 minute Cardio

Also I do 20 minutes to a half hour of cardio Mno-Fri on an empthy stomach prior to my workout, I then have either a protein bar or shake and continue to lift. I also try to do an extra 20-30 minutes Cardio each evening too, since I've added all this Cardio I've seen tremendous results in my stomach and hip areas.

If you're able to Squat AND Deadlift twice a week you aren't doing them right.

Everyone must adjust their workout to their own specific goals, whether they be sports, bodybuilding, or general fitness-related. My personal training split is as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Monday: Back & Chest
Tuesday: Legs (reasoning being that when doing back exercises, often your biceps are worked as well, same with Chest/Triceps. I also do minor or light shoulder work on this day)
Wednesday: Biceps/Triceps/Forearms
Thursday: Shoulders/Neck (possibly minor leg work such as leg curls or calf raises as well)
Friday: Anything but shoulders, usually I'll do a mix of exercises or try to hit a weaker body part (i have no 'weak' body parts )

Saturday/Sunday: Active Rest
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Others may find they need a rest day during the week. Due to my young age (under 22), I do not. The way this training split is set up, your muscles are worked at most every other day. I only need one full day to recover from the average workout anyway. Placing the leg workout on Tuesday gives your arms all day (with exception of the shoulder exercises) to recover so you can blast them on Wednesday. Dont forget the exercises most neglect when planning your regimen (things like leg curls and bent dumbell laterals, since many often neglect hams and delts, especially the rear delts - a past mistake of mine). Also, If you are an athlete, working hamstrings becomes even more important, because not only will strong hamstrings make you faster, but if your quads (33% of your thigh) overpower your hams (66% of your thigh) by a large amount of strength, eventually you can (and probably will) develop what is known as "Jumpers Knee" (Patellar tendinopathy). This is called "Jumpers Knee" because when you jump and land, both your quads and hams flex, if both are balanced somewhat (they can be off to some degree) then nothing wrong happens, but if your quads are much stronger, it may hank at the patella, eventually causing pain and possible degeneration.

Your split isnt fantastic because you are doing leg exercises (squats & deadlifts) Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. This is way too often. Use my split as a guide and adjust it to your body accordingly. Cardio every day is fine for MOST and should be encouraged, altho some would tell you not to do this.

very true

man i dont ssee how people do 2 big muscle groups on the same day like chest and back or legs and shoulders---- i gotta do chest and tri's ,, or back and bi's then just legs and just shoulders-----but i believe its all up to the person to see what works for them.

 

[Malak]

I agree if you can work legs that many times a week you are not doing something right.

Why in the hell do people do cardio first thing in the morning on an empty stomache???? You just wake up from an all night fast usually and instead of getting some protein in your sytem you go and do cardio. I guarantee you all your doing is breaking down muscle tissue along with losing fat. Why not just take a scoop of whey right when you wake up? I mean is it that difficult?
