Hi all

Im kind of stuck between what to try next routine wise. Im currently doing a push pull legs, usually monday wednesday friday, but with a busy schedule Im somes a day or 2 behind so I can have a great chest day but then not hit them again for 7-9 days or even if I am on time its still a 7 day gap.

Im reading alot about full body routines and how they release more growth hormone and therefore encourage more growth. I also like the idea of working the body as a whole. However I really dont think I could put all the effort into some of the full body routines Ive seen as I like to lift as much as I can with good form and so Im normally shattered after a workout that only involves 3 moves. eg, push day, 3 sets of ten on bench, military and dips.

So Ive come up with a kind of alternate push pull legs where on a pull day that means I workout everything BUT the pull muscles. Same with the other 2 days ( push and legs ). I feell I will be working out the whole of my body more often but still leaving big enough gaps for recovery of particular muscles and also being able to give it my all.

So my new routine Ive come up with is as follows. all 1 set warm up half weight. 3 sets of between 6-10

Day 1 - No pull day

Squats, Military, Legs curls and calf raises.

Day 2 - No Leg day

Deads bench, Dips, Rows

Day 3 - no Push

Squats, pull ups, Rows and Calf raises

This will either be monday wednesday friday or every other day as my schedule allows.

Any thoughts would be much apprechiated.

Cheers for readin ! :beer1:
