Up for NeedSize

 

[JohnyJuice]

Should i combine chest and tri's and back and bi's?

 

[JohnyJuice]

Seeing as no one is responding to this thread, i am using it as a sounding board for myself at this point.

think i am gonna go with this...

Mon- chest\tri's
tues- legs
wed- off
thurs-shoulders\abs
fri-back\bi's

The first thing that jumps out at me is that you have a lot of sets in there, ie, 15 sets for chest. I know everyone is different but that is too much for me, I tend to stick around 10 or so for something like chest.
In your pm, you said you tried the 5x5 and you didnt like the low rep, did you also do the higher rep sets, the 8-10 rep ones? The strength of the routine is the combination of both rep schemes in the same workout.
I do like the idea of a 4 day split better, but training arms after back or chest never did anything for me. That's why I combine back/shoulders into one workout, and hit arms hard and heavy on their own day

 

[JohnyJuice]

How do you go about combining back and shoulders? Wouldnt that be one hell of a long workout? If i combined what i had above, it would probably be a 2 hour workout.

 

[needsize]

I hit it up in about an hour and a half
military press 3x5, 1x8
deads 3x5, 1x 8
side laterals 3-5x8-10 reps
pulldowns 3-5x8-10 reps
shrugs 3-5x8-10 reps
t bar rows 3-4x8-10 reps
bent over laterals 2x8-10 reps

It actually goes pretty quick as I superset, ie, between deads and laterals, etc

Well, just glancing over it, I notice you have a ton of sets, even if they aren't to failure. I normally don't go over 10 sets per bodypart, sometimes 6 (done when combining back and shoulders in my workout).

Are all those sets to failure?
