okay, some came up with this routine, any thoughts? good bad, terrible?

quote:

Day 1(Chest/back): dumbbell press incline press dumbbell fly incline fly dumbbell shrug pulldown another back one, cant remeber the name! Day 2 (biceps/triceps/shoulders): dumbbell incline curl hammer curl tricep pulldown lateral raise tricep kickback front raise day 3(legs): dumbbell lunge leg extension leg curl Dumbbell Straight-back Straight-leg Deadlift dumbell squat

should i do abs on each of the days yea? should chest be done on its own? i couldnt find any other chest excercises i like so stuck in some back ones.

should i need more leg excercises?

Don't do chest and back at the same day.
They're two greater muscle groups and you can't do a quality training of both in one day.

so when should i to back? should i stick tricep in chest, then do back and bicep?

Since you need triceps for chest training and biceps for back training, do it like this:

- Chest and biceps
- Back and triceps
- Legs and shoulders

Do abs 1-2 times a week.

it wa posted here before that chest and biceps is a bad combination.

Yeah dunno where Gauss is coming from everything ive read says do chest and back. If youre eating right and taking the appropriate day off between routines, you shouldnt have any energy problems whatsoever. Id stick with the classic


chest back
bi tri shoulder
legs



Today:

Squats:
1x15 115
1x10 135
1x10 175
1x6 195
1x10 135

Deadlift:
1x15 80 (first time doin em was getting feel )
1x12 90
1x12 100

On stomach hamstring machine:
1x15 40
1x12 60
1x12 70
1x8 70
1x6 50 (was pooping out!)

Seated calf raise:
4x15 35

Standing 45 degree hack squat machine
1x12 90
3x10 140

Kneeling rope crunch:
1x15 130
2x15 140

on rope crunches we go down and as soon as it is locked and unmoving partner counts "one one thousand" so makes it pretty brutal hehe.

at an entire box of pasta last night and had a LOT of energy today! We used You Go I Go routine where it was super fast sets. Proper form...I was sweating my ass off and throwing up into my mouth a lil bit hehe. One of the best workouts ever had hands down! its just gettin better and better. im loving leg stuff and having Rage Against the Machine screaming in your ears helps pump you up and take it easier. I was grunting like an idiot but if I hadnt been I wouldnt have been able to do it lol. My abs got a hell of a work out from hack squat machine!!!

i've done just about every combination and really it comes down to what your preferences are. i don't like doing an arm with a pec because you won't be able to do as much weight when your arms are worn out...i dunno...do whatever you want...

stick with that then. thanks

orbax you wanna know why i got bigger calves then you? it's because i do 4 45 lbs plates on seated calf raise hehehe gotta get that weight up there my friend!!

hehe no way i can do that yet. ....at all. I used to do 2 45s but I wasnt able to complete the motion and get that ball feeling up top. Working up though ive only been doing legs for a week

well i'm sure you'll start seeing results soon...legs are usually pretty easy to get some size on hehehe...

i dont want to lose the super defined calves though *cries*



that vertical shadow is from something else but that 45degree one is alll me

but yeah...they need to be about twice their current size at least lol.
