Mustang's new training split

[Burgboy]

Dude.....it took me a long fucking time to realize that I overtrained. Some how if u don't go crazy on sets and reps u feel lazy! That is not the case.......it takes just as much heart (for a true lifter) to stay away from the gym and cut down on sets/reps.

I had a hard time making gains in my early twenties.....went down to lift at the University of Pittsburgh with a buddy and the strength coach was there.......came over and enlightened me on not over training.....it may take you a while to find that level....but once u do u will see gains like u have never seen!

It is just so hard to find that level when u are younger......but as u get older (experience) your body will tell u what u need!

Good luck Mustang.....u are on guy that deserves the best!

heres mine, the days change but the routine is the same.

Monday - Bench
Wednesday - Squats
Fri or Sat - Deadlifts

every other week i'll isolate shoulders/bi's/tri's ..... other then that its all powermovements.

I gotta say this routine sounds very interesting, you getting any result from it? are you using supplements (any kind)?

Hey mustang, your routine looks good excert for the chest and back. Cut back on the sets for chest and for the back I strongly recommend you do pull ups. I did not want to do them cause i always had a problem with them and did not want to look like a pussy in the gym. Well when my partner FORCED me to do them, within 4 months my back got SUPERWIDE. At 275 my back was so big people called me Dorian back. I never got those results from any kind of pulldowns. Try this for back

1. pullups (knuckles facing you) 3 x as many as you can
2. Close grip pullups. (hang the V bar used for cable rows on the
pullup bar) 3 x as many as you can
3. T-Bar rows 3x 8-10
4. Bent over rows 2x 20 (slow and controlled reps with pause on
top)

Trust me on this routine, i know pullups suck but boy do they work, especially for tall guys like you and me.

Coo..I was talking with WCP one night and he told me that I sound a lot like him and he is carb sensitive as well. It has worked out very well for me. I am puting on good muscle with minimal increases in body fat which is what everyone is after isn't it ?

hey, i dug this post up on the search because i was making myself a new routine, and was wondering if a split was better than one musclegroup a day.
anyways, mustang, how did this routine fair for you? would you recommend it?

boy o boy this was on old one wasn't it The routine worked well for me but one thign I did change was I added flat bench presses and did the shaping movements (ie...crossovers and flys at the end of my routine) but toher then that I followed it to a tea and it worked great

Looks good. Only thing I would change is to put triceps with biceps. I've done it both ways before. After a good chest workout my triceps are already fatigued. Which forces me to use less weight, and in my opinon leads to less growth. I know some say that they pre-fatigue the triceps. But who the hell need to pre-fatigue triceps???

I agree with you Daeo. I swtiched from chest + tri's / bicep + back to bi's / tri's. Much better, IMO, and I walk outta the gym knowing my arms are looking good, front ande back.
