5 day workout

[SubZ]

what are the best muscles to work together in 1 training session, i do..

Monday: Chest, tries and abbs

tuesday: back and bies..i dont work my traps with my back

Wendsday: Sholders, traps and abbs

thursday: Legs

friday: Bies, tries and abbs

would this be a good training method?? and also is this overtraining??

That's not a bad split, mate. I'd make two changes, but it's probably not critical...

- Even though you're not working them directly, shoulders and traps will still be getting a slight hit through your back workout. So I try not to put shoulders next to back day.

- Same with abs, really. When you do squats, the abs are really important as stabiliser muscles, so I like to make sure they're nice and fresh. I'd drop them from the Wednesday workouts. I don't think you really need to do them 3 times a week - as I say, they'll get a bit of work through squats anyway. Just do do weighted exercises so you fail at 12-15 reps. None of this silly 100-rep stuff!

It's quite similar to what I'm doing at the moment.

Mon: Back

Tue: Chest

Wed: Legs

Thur: Shoulders / Traps

Fri: Arms

As for overtraining... could be, but provided you get your diet sorted, it should be fine for a bit. I wouldn't stay on it longer than 8 weeks though.

ok so what i think ill do is swap wendsday and thursday around and do the abbs with the legs day instead on sholders and traps

:nod: Good plan. Let us know how you get on.

Without dwelling on this too much, I'd like to point out that there's four days of upper body workouts to one day lower body. Now I understand that leg training is hard and makes people cry but for someone who's not specializing, leg frequency should be increased.

yes but i have a solution to that. i go for about a 3-4k run every say....2 or 3 days. just to keep my fitness up. i no its not as effective as weight training but itl do for me as i wont to focus mainley on upperbody strength
