Need help with routine!!

[USMC_Jay]

Im thinking about changing my routine up to Mon, Wed, and Fri. What would be the benefits of this? I work to damn much to go to the gym everyday. What muscle groups should i do on the same day? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Some standard ones are:

Upper/Lower

Back, Bis/Chest, Tris/Legs, Shoulders

Chest, Back/Legs/Biceps, Triceps, Shoulders, Forearms, Calves

And you could also switch the days on any of those too. That's all I can think of, did that help?

Depending on what type of split you've had up till now I say try a full-body routine 3 days a week. Choose three different exercises for each bodypart and create a rotating schedule with those and different rep/set combinations. For example, for quads you choose squats, legs presses and sissy squats. For the Monday workout do 8 sets of 3 of squats, for Wednesday do 2 sets of 20 of leg presses and for Friday do 3 sets of 10 of sissy squats. You'll get plenty of variation and you'll introduce a new stimulus with the increase in workout frequency.

Monday Legs, calves and triceps

tuesday chest biceps

wednsday back and deltiods


seriosly though it would be much better to go 4 or 5 days a week

Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be a good order for the muscle groups on a 5 day workout. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I do, 4 days a week.
Mon - Chest/Triceps
Tue - Legs
Thu - Shoulders
Fri - Back/Bi's

If I could add one more day a week I'm not really sure if I'd split the monday or the friday workout. I'd have to try both ways a couple times and see what I liked better. I tell you what tho, this is the happiest I've been with a routine in awhile.

This is only what I'm doing, everyone has their own opinions and reasons to do it a different way, try a couple and see what you prefer, you can always change it up later.
