What is ur Mon-Fri workout plan?


I have just started going to the Gym at my uni after lectures, and i have been going everyday with no major results.
I was wondering if anyone out there can show me their mon-fri week plan. I have fat leggs so i dont work out them.
I was thinking of :
Mon - Chest and Biceps
Tue - Back/abs and Triceps
Wed - Shoulders and abs
Thu - Chest and Biceps
Fri - Back/abs and Triceps

Sat/Sun - Rest

Does anyone have a similar plan with no leg workout ?

First of all, having no leg day is an incredibly bad idea. I'll let someone else convince you.

Me:

Sat: Chest/Tris
Sun: Back/Bis
Mon: Cardio
Tues: Shoulders/Cardio
Wed: Off
Thurs: Legs
Fri: Cardio or off

You should do some leg workouts, even if ALL you do are squats.
My 5 day workout is:

MON. CHEST
TUES. BACK
WED. SHOULDERS
THURS BICEPS
FRI TRICEPS & LEGS

SAT & SUN REST DAYS

Note: I also include cardio 2-3 times a week, I do ABS all 5 days, I just enjoy AB work, so it's a favorite of mine.
I spend about a hr to 75 min. a day working out.

poor split. if you want to train M-F, do

m-tricep
t-upper back
w-legs/lower back/traps
r-chest
f-bicep/shoulder

do NOT spend anymore than 35minutes/day lifting (starting when you begin your 1st working set). you NEED legs to grow overal

My Mon-Fri Plan


Hey all, this is how I break up my monday through friday workout.

Monday: Legs/Calves
Tuesday: Chest/Abs
Wednesday: Back/Traps
Thursday: Shoulders/Triceps
Friday: Biceps/Abs
Saturday: Rest
Sunday: Rest

Possible Cardio exercise on Saturday or Sunday. Just seeing what you guys thought of how I broke this up. I used to work all muscle groups a few times a week, but since being on here I see that for best growth it is better to break it up and more throughly work each group. Peace.

Thanks guys your plans are making think again about mine. cheers
Im always walking quickly (around uni, busstop-home,waitoring). There are many stairs too around uni. so thats partly why i dont work out my legs. I have big calves and thighs and a large behind so i rather not work them out further more.

With my plan , should i change and do Chest/Triceps and Back/Biceps together as when I do chest my triceps are getting a little workout too and back with biceps?
But since im doing each part again the next day will it go stronger quicker?

I have a Mon-Sun workout plan. This is a newbie plan, so any comment on it would be extremely helpful.

Mon - (U) Chest, Lat, Biceps, Triceps
Tue - (L) Squats, Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Back
Wed - (C) Cardio
Thurs - (U) Chest, Lat, Biceps, Triceps
Fri - (L) Squats, Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Back
Sat - (C) Cardio
Sun - Watch football

I do 2 set per body part. Usually between 4-6 reps per set.

This gives me at least 2 days of rest between training the same muscles.

Work your legs, Beat. Building those muscles will burn more fat off your body and help to build muscle elsewhere.


My Routine:
Mon - 20 minutes cardio
Tues - Chest & Tri + 20 minutes cardio
Wed - 20 minutes cardio
Thurs - Legs & Bi + 20 minutes cardio
Fri - Beer
Sat - Back & Shoulders + maybe 20 minutes cardio + beer
Sunday - Rest

Isn't it considered a bad idea to include cardio and weight training on the same day?

Since I workout at home, I don't have to wait for anybody to get out of my way or anything. I'm usually done with the weights in 35 to 40 minutes, then hit the cardio for 20 or sometimes less.
