Mon: Chest (Flat Bench, Incine DB, weighted
dips)
Tues: Back (wide grip chins, bent rows,deads
seated row)
Weds: Legs (squats, legpress, ham curls,
calve raises)
Thurs: Arms (barbell curls, db curls, hammer
curl, tri push downs, skulls,
close grip)
Fri: Delts (military, upright rows, side
laterals)
Sat:Rest
Sun: Rest (depending if I need it)
For bi I do six total sets, same with tris. Delts I do seven total sets. Chest, back, legs, I do 8 total sets. Exercises are almost all heavy basic compounds. Rep range is bout 5-6 reps. Gym time ranges from 35min-45min. What do you bros think, most bros say I'm in the gym too much, but each bodypart only gets work 5 times a month and I get 5 days rest between parts. I realize that alot of bodyparts overlap. I use this traing sched when I first started training and made tremendous gains. I'm back from a five month layoff due to health probs and want to use the same training sched. Just want to run it by all you vets. Also, training without AS. Thanks bros.

I'D SAY NOT ENOUGH TIME IN THE GYM.
KICK YOUR SETS UP 12 TO 15, FOR LARGE
MUSCLE GROUPS(CHEST,BACK,LEGS)
8 TO 12 SETS FOR SMALL MUSCLE GROUPS
(ARMS,SHOULDERS) REPS SHOULD BE 12,10,8,6,4

Chest: definitly add some flat dumbells
Back: Do close grip instead of wide
Legs: Maybe some leg extensions or lunges
Delts: I would recommend doing standing dumbell shoulder presses. Alternate and do one arm at a time. It looks kinda wierd but it is one of my favorites.

I do each bodypart twice a week, but I am a young athlete so I have quick recovery time.
Just remember that you need to change it up every now and then. Different excersises, # of sets and reps etc..

P.S. try to add more excersises per day. I do 8-10 excersises a day.

I would do it this way... Chest, Back, Arms, Legs and then Delts. It'll be hard to do legs the day after a good back workout. The way it is set up here your previous days workout wont affect your next days workout. Also maybe throw in a couple extra sets for the larger muscle groups. Dont forget to switch things up too.

Looks pretty effective to me overall
You may want to throw in some preacher curls with a cambered bar on arm day.
Or like studcj said some leg extensions on leg day.
Definately get some DB presses in on chest day..alternate between the DB's and the BB.
You might try this Bro to keep the shock techique alive.
List all excercises for each body part on a sheet of paper of comp. document.
Each week when you come to that body part just pick however many different ones you want for that day, making sure they arent too similar and go with that.
This way each week you do something different therefore keeping your body from adaptation.
This is what I do..it keeps me from getting too settled..
Good Luck Bro, and Sweat Blood,
WCP

If you are going to do the once a week per bodypart thing, you need to add more sets.If you want to change your split and work each bodypart twice per week, the number of sets if fine. if you want some strange and different ideas on work out and split go to my web site posting of Serious Growth routine at www.geocities.com/hrscck9/p1.jpg for each addtional page (there are 6) add a # after the p Example /p2.jp /p3.jpg

Villan,
This may sound like a dumb question, but what do you mean by twists?

Being in Sports Medicine, I can assure you that your time in the gym is great. You don't have to spend hours to get a great pump. As a matter of fact, it's proven that after about 45min. of hard training, your body is blown. All ATP is depleted and your muscles are depriving oxygen. This is why aerobics are no longer than 30 min.
Good Luck!

What I mean by twists is, you take a broomstick and put it behind your neck with your arms stretch out along it and you twist. It's important to keep your hips facing forward other wise you won't get the squeeze you want. Sit down and do them. You just twist and crunch the side you are twisting to. Your sides should eventually start burning like hell. Makes your waist smaller as compared to the machine twists that work your obliques. If you use weight your obliques will grow, which means bigger waist. I maintain a 30 inch waist at 6'0 200 pounds. Trying to get it smaller, so I am going to use clen coming up. Hope that helps.
