I haven't specified which particular exerciese i do for each item as i will be changing it on a weekly basis. in between workouts is light cardio, streching, yoga, swimming etc. 3 days a week Mondayback legsbackchestWednesdaychest back ChestlegsFridayshouldersbicep tricepcalvesThoughts???Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cammo Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 How did you come up with this routine? - it seems awefully random.You should either stick to a full body workout or a split - not a combination of both.... back to the drawing board frogie.

Pseudonym Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Where you've got a body part twice on the same day (eg, back on Monday) does that mean you'll do one exercise for back, one for legs, then another for back again?I think I see what you're trying to do, but why? What's the theory behind this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbelldog Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Ditto I think a rethink is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogie2001 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 lol yeah i thought i would get some odd looks with this. I am giving it a go basically to see how it would work on me. bringing the back to failure for lower (e.g dead lifts), than giving it a rest with legs (squats) than throwing in an upper back (lat pulls or rows) Followed by a chest failure ex. This works the main muscle groups all in one day back chest and legs. utilising the major muscle groups each day worked and briniging them to failure.the same is carried out the next day only switching it to chest, back chest, and than legs. each time to failure. have just tried the second day and it seems pretty good, nicely fatigued. The third day is utilised for a smaller muscle group day, shoulders, arms, tris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I would put the small muscle day in the middle of the week, so you've got as long as possible between the heavy workouts.Actually, to be honest, I probably wouldn't do this routine at all. :wink: Back, legs, back? Ouch! My bet is, depending on how many sets you do, you'll either find it's too much for one workout, or not enough. I think it might be quite hard finding the happy medium with this routine.Having said that, the world needs guinea pigs. Let us know how you get on!
