I don't believe that it's neccessary to train 5 days a week. I believe anyone who weight trains intensily more than 3 days per week is overtrained or is doing excessive work. If you want a five day split routine, I'll give you one, but I don't think you'll make that good of progress. Day 1- Chest, Abs Day 2- Shoulders, Calves DAy 3- Back Day 4- Rest Day 5- Triceps, Biceps, Forearms & Abs Day 6- Quads, Hamstrings, Calves Day 7- Rest Good luck....

http://www.elitefitness.com/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000827.html Stick with a 3day routine. In the routine your working your pressing mucles monday and tuesday, not too good. Try the about workout. I use a similar one all the time with great results.

How do you warm up for that workout. I know that HIT has a so-so following. In your honest opinion can you really add quality mass using HIT or is it better to do 3 or 4 set of 4-6 reps?Thanks ------------------ Born to fight, Trained to kill, Ready to Die, But never will!

Here's my current routine. WORKOUT 1 CHEST 1. Pec Deck Flye 1 x failure supersetted with 2. Incline Barbell Press 1 x failure SHOULDERS 1. Dumbbell Side Laterals 1 x failure 2. Bent-Dumbbell Laterals 1 x failure TRICEPS 1. Nautilus Triceps Extensions 1 x failure 2. Bench Dips 1 x failureWORKOUT 2 BACK 1. Pullovers 1 x failure supersetted with 2.

Seated Calf Raises 1 x failure ABS 1. Reverse Crunches 1 x failure 2. Dumbbell Side Bends 1 x failure 3. Crunches 1 x failure At home I do Forearm and Grip work. I would do grip work at my gym, but I don't believe they would appreciate me dropping 180 pound dumbbells on the floor. ------------------ I reposted HIT Bodybuilder's post from another thread. What do you think if I would do that workout but , do at least 3 sets and go to 4-6 reps. Then take a day off and repeat? ------------------ Born to fight, Trained to kill, Ready to Die, But never will!

I dont like 3-4 heavy sets cause for me if I max on on the first set, my next may only be 7 reps, next will be 4 reps etc. So I do 2 warmups than 1-2 heavy sets to failure. I dont really count reps. I pick up say 120lbs for incline DB press and press for as many as possible, say 6-7, next week Ill try for more reps, or use 125lbs for at least the same reps.
