What's your training routine?

[markm]

Interested to hear how others out there train.

For instance, I'm currently doing a two day split.

Day 1: Legs, Back, Biceps

Day 2: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

Day 3: Rest (or cardio).

What sort of split routines do other people do?

cheers.

I follow the 5x5 routine at the mo, but instead of mon/wed/fri, I do one on, one off.

[Ash]

Day 1 - chest, delts, tris, back width, back thickness

Day 2 - bis, forearms, traps, calves, hams, quads

I rotate those 2 workouts, 1 day on, 1 day off with weekends off.

don't do shoulders at all my gym instuctor who used to compete and is a BB judge reckons don't need to do them as I using alot of shoulders with my work outs seems to be workig at this stage see how it goes thou :grin:

[markm]

Hmmm. Never heard that before, but hey, whatever works!

[Cornfed]

Some people reckon they get enough of a shoulder workout doing back and chest that they don't need to do anything specific. I think Kevin Levrone was like that. However, I would have thought that most people should do them. I certainly lost strength when I didn't work my shoulders for a few months. On the other hand, I haven't done an ab exercise in years and seem to have lost no ab strength.

[shane]

I think what works go with it eh but in saying that i might just add a few shoulder routines on my off day just to keep them honest do this once in awhile :nod:
