I think you want a big chest, cause you're training em twice a week and everything else once, hehe. Well, at least you train everything else too.

monday: you should be doing flat, not inclines, and you don't need to do six sets of any exercise, that's rediculous. Why are you doing three exercises for bi's and only two for chest, the chest is bigger.

tuesday: like I said before you don't need six sets, ditch the leg extensions, they'll destroy your knees.

wednesday: you just worked your lower back on squats and now you're doing straight-leg deadlifts, last thing you want to do is overtrain your lowerback, you don't want an injury. don't need six sets of military press

thursday: don't need six sets of frenchies.

yeah u got a good point about the six sets thing, im finding that i'm working everything good enough with only 3. about the benching, i used to do flat, but i find that the incline gives me much more desirable development. helps me to counteract that sagging look that a lot of guys have. and i'm going to ditch the leg extensions too, they do hurt my knees, and i dont feel the burn even close to what i feel on hack squats or leg press. but i do think im going to go with at least 4 sets on squats, they still form the basis of my leg routine.

You won't get saggy tits from flat benching and flat will develop your pecs better than inclines. I don't want to get into the technical crap, just believe me on it. The guys in your gym have saggy tits because they're fat, simple as that. Good luck.

hey guys, i just wanted to know what you all think of my training split. Please critique away, be as harsh as need be.

heres my traing split:

monday: chest and tri's
incline barbell 3 sets
flat bench press 3 sets
dumbell flys 3 sets
close grip3 sets
skull crushers 3 sets

tuesday: legs
squats 6 sets
seated calf 3sets
hack squats 3 sets
standing calf 3 sets
leg extensions 3sets

wednesday: back and bi's
Deadlifts 4 sets
t-bar rows 3set
barbell rows 3set
standing bb curls 3 sets
hammer curls 3 sets

thursday: shoulers
military press 3sets
side lateral raises 3sets
rear delt raises 3sets
shrugs 4 sets

this routine should be fine,for me i actually work calfs twice a week since it works for me,anyways you dont need to work chest twice just up the intensity,i feel flat bench will give you more development,you can change it to decline every two months or so jsut for a change,try er out and let me know how it feels

I actually think the original routine is terrible.

The amended one is a slight improvement but still too much.

Also, training 4 days consecutively is hard work and will take it's toll.

if you eat and sleep properly then 4 days on 3 off is not a problem,i wake up at 630 shower eat then goto school eat again,and a few more times through the day then come home for a hour goto work till 8 then workout come home eat again then goto bed around 11 and i handle it well ,im up roughly ten pounds since sept 7,and dont say i can handle more cu zi am on gear because that is not true

 

[Robboe]

hey, out of curiosity, how old are you and how long have you been training?
