What you think of my routine?

Hey guys, last few weeks, i've actualy started to take this sport seriously, where training comes FIRST, than binge drinking. There for i wont be drinking for next 10 weeks. (Gave up smoking 2 weeks ago too) Not drank in 2 weeks, i feel great. not even tempted. Just love the performance. I actualy feel like i wanna train to get STRONGER and FITTER, instead of going for good body and thats it. Im in the military at the moment, so, cardio is not an option, about 4 times a week. Endurance runs, sprints, obstacle courses. Army fitness basicly. Anyway, goal is to put mass on.

Currently on a 5 day split:

I do every exercise in motion of 4x8, although usualy last set is more like 6-7 reps.

Day 1 - Chest

bench press,
incline,
dumbell flyes,
chest/tri dips.

Day 2 - Bi's/ tri's

Hammer curls,
EZ bar curls,
reversed barbell curls
/ rope pushdown,
cable pushdowns,
close grip barbell lifts.

Day 3 - Legs + Abs
Squats,
quad machine,
hamstring machine,
barbell calf raises.

For Abs, its 3x max (as i do them quet abit in military PT) usualy:
crunches,
leg raises,
situps with a twist. (dont know what u call it.. alternative sit ups?)

Day 4: Shoulders

Dbell side raises,
Dbell front raises,
military barbell press,
bent over rows.

Day 5: Back

Bent barbell rows,
pushdowns on the machine (not sure what u call it, sorry again),
lateral pulldowns,
deadlifts.
And i do that exercise where you hold a dumbell over your head, and lean left and right, it seems mainly for obliques, because after that, i cant even balance myself straight.

Day 6 + 7 OFF.

Age, 21 years old. Height is 6'4 at 98kg. Started at 95kg, Good protein intake, 300-320 grams a day, around the same for carbs, 6-7 meals a day, (Depends what ive done that day, and how tired i feel. CLEAN food, junk food once a week. or cake with dinner, if i FEEL like i've burnt alot of calories thay day during military training (i.e. 5 mile endurance run, followed by x10 sprints uphill maximum effort. HIIT?)
Only 2 off those 6-7 meals are protein/carb shakes. (Just after training)

Supplementing with Methoxy-7-test (i feel like they improve my recovery time, since ive tried it for a week) and ALL in one whey. (carbs, protein, creatine, glutamine). Drink a gallon a day of water on average, sometimes more.

People have complimented me overall on my phisique ( i always been athletic built, but never took gym and diet seriously, being drunk on a weekened was more important to me in the past.. so i kinda never got that far) saying i got abit bigger, and even i notice it too. The thing with extra cardio (not out of choice) it seems to keep me relatively lean, my abs are still showing in decent light, but also put a little bit of fat on.. (which i guess is part of bulking) Strength has improved in the gym, and when it comes to fitness overall. (Again, people actualy told me that i got alot fitter recently).Feel great actualy. I know some people would say i should probably do, 2 days on then rest, then followed by 3 days on, or something like that. but I just feel like if i go 5 days in a row, it really keeps me motivated, not to drink on weekends and stuff like that. I feel like this routine is working for me. Would you guys change anything about my workout? Whats your opinion? I got 10 weeks left of this.

assuming you're going to keep the same split, i would switch your arm day and leg day since you're working tris the day after chest and doing CGBP which involves the chest pretty heavily. i'd also add another exercise for hamstrings (maybe RDLs).. I would move military press to the first exercise on your shoulder day, since it's going to work the most muscles and you want to be fresh for it. Same goes for deadlifts.

I would also say working out 5 days in a row might not be the best idea, but if it's working and keeping you motivated, fuck what anyone says and keep it up as long as you're not too fatigued and don't feel overexerted.

Also, HIIT is interval training. An example would be 30 seconds sprinting, 45 seconds slow jog, 30 seconds sprint, 45 seconds slow jog, etc etc.... But you're running for military training and hill sprints are great so you're definitely on track.

keep up the good work bro!
 
jdid, thanks for the reply, seems a good advice, i will follow this. What is RDLs by the way? Well after 5 days i feel fine to be honest. Yesterday it was my 2nd off day, i felt like going gym, but i dont want to over do it. Much appreciate the input. It makes sense

no problem dude....RDLs are romanian deadlifts. YouTube - ‪Romanian deadlift (RDL)‬‏... they hit your hamstrings real hard- for me, they definitely work the best. In the video, the guy uses a barbell, but you can also use DBs. I sometimes do them with 1 leg to improve balance...

i didn't check to see if his form was good, but that's what they are.... and yeah, just be receptive to your body... As long as your diet is good you should be ok.
 
Ok bro lets just step back for a min here. You wanna put on (quality) mass and cardio (military) is there, no ifs, ands or buts about it....and your doing a 5 day split.
To me this is counter productive. You may put on some mass but you are training way too much to really gain to your potential, IMO. I would go to a 3 day/week 5x5 routine right now if quality mass is what you want. This is what the 5x5 is for bro.
Think about it and post up.
Good luck to you dude.
