I've made some changes to my workout schedule since starting my cycle. To maximize gains in mass, I've moved away from many isolation-type movements and tried to stick with basic compound movements. What do you think of this:

day 1: chest
incline dumbbell press 5 x 8 reps
flat bench barbell press 5 x 8 reps
flat bench flyes 5 x 8 reps

day 2: back
deadlifts 5 x 8 reps
dumbbell rows 5 x 8 reps
back-lat pull downs 5 x 8 reps
front-lat pull downs 5 x 8 reps

day 3: triceps
close grip bench press 5 x 8 reps
pushdowns 5 x 8 reps
french press 5 x 8 reps
kickbacks 3 x 10 reps

day 4: biceps / forearms
standing barbell curls 5 x 8 reps
alternating dumbbell curls 5 x 8 reps
concentration curls 5 x 8 reps

wrist curls 5 x 10 reps
reverse wrist curls 5 x 10 reps

day 5: legs / calves
squats 5 x 8 reps
leg press 5 x 8 reps
leg curls 5 x 10 reps

standing calf raise 5 x 8 reps
seated calf raise 5 x 8 reps

day 6: shoulders
dumbbell overhead press 5 x 8 reps
front lateral raises 5 x 8 reps
side lateral raises 5 x 8 reps
shrugs 5 x 10 reps

day 7: off

I'm making good gains......but looking for input so I can make great gains. Any suggestions?

Why you don't break the week like in day 3 working your legs, so it gives time to your upper body to rest and recuperate.

I also work just one major muscle group a day

take care

Awesome workout routine. The only thing you may want to try is training both bi's and tri's on the same day to get an enormous arm pump and give yourself 2 rest days per week. Sometimes I'll even train tri's after chest and bi's after back to give myself three rest days. I like to use the weekend to rest and eat, eat, eat.

I was training bi's and tri's on the same day, but experienced a few problems. First, my arms are lagging behind the rest of my body. I train like a beast, so if I hit bi's first....my tri workout suffered, or the other way around. I split them up and started moving a lot more weight with each. This is also the reason I put them at that point in the week....tri's take some abuse on chest day, then they get a 1 day break before getting slammed hard. The same with bi's.....they get hit on back day, get a one day break, then I slam them hard. I've been making much better arm gains this way.

Thanks for the input bros!! Any more suggestions.......personal experiences??

I'd put chest /tri's together and back / bi's together. Put a leg day between so that you don't overtrain. My splits look like this:

Chest / tri
Legs
Back Bis
Off
Shoulders
Off

Back bis
Legs
Chest tri
off
SHoulders
etc
etc

I always try to rotate to my weakest routine when I come off of the 2nd rest day, this effectively allows me to train my weak link twice per week. I had to go to this split because of my tore pec, too much chest / shoulder /bi / tri together really strained it. I have found that using this type of split, I am 100% recovered at all times. I would also bump your reps up into the 12 to 14 range, even if it means giving up 1 set.

Looks pretty good to me..but I would switch some of the excercises around.

Just a thought would be:

Alternate between DB's and BB's on chest day.

For your back, throw out one of the pulldown movements and replace them with wide grip weighted chins....
Also I would add BB bent rows to that.

I would ditch the kickbacks for your tri's in place of skullcrushers..you really cant go real heavy with kickbacks..

I would add 90degree preacher curls both DB and BB on arm day.

Other than that, I say if its working all is well. Good move though knocking out the iso movements, you really dont need those while bulking..

Good Luck Bro,
WCP
