hey, i've been working out only one body part/week for a while now and i wanna change it up. I planned out something like this.....

mon-chest/tri/abs
tue- back/bi/calves
wed-shoulders/traps/abs
thurs- chest/tri/calves
fri-back/bi/abs
sat-shoulders/traps/calves
sun-legs(light)

i need to go light and cut back on legs, because after squatting the other day, i couldn't even walk, b/c my right knee what killing me.....

I'm happy with the size of my chest, shoulders, and triceps(used to be a powerlifter), it's my back and bi's that are lagging.


Thanx~

Where's your day off?? No offense but that is not a good split. On wed your doing shoulders, then on thur chest. IF your workouts are intense enough, you shouldnt be able to do chest with sore shoulders. your cramming too much into one week. Just my thoughts

Sorry bro, but you will never make gains off this type of routine.

Your body will be in a constant state of catabolism and will always be broken down. If you follow this be prepared for:

- increased potential for sickness
- inability to recover from previous workouts
- loss of appetite
- irritability
- loss of motivation
- inability to concentrate
- joints that constantly ache
- increased chances of injury.
- severe fatigue

Overall, it is a bogus program.

If you are serious about adding size and strength, you need to focus on eating and resting . . the most important elements. You need to train hard, but only 3 intense days a week. This will ensure that your body will have plenty of recuperation time, which will allow growth to occur.

If you need more than 5 training days per week, you obviously aren't taking your self to the extreme in the gym.

For recovery, I recommend light cardio such as walking or bicycling. Also, massaging and stretching will increase recovery.

Do something like a mon wed fri split and make those days COUNT concentrate on food and sleep rest of time.

Read the DC sticky at top. Even if you dont want to do that he gives good explanation against overtraining
