Hi all,:lift:
Just wanna know what people think to my training routine.Does anybody agree with it if not,what changes/alterations would you make. I have been training around two years,but due to family circumstances i stopped for around 3-4months.I have started back at it around 1 month ago now...When i started out training i was around the 10-11 stone,i am now weighing in at 15st 11oz...its taking a little getting back into,but anyway this is how im going at the min:-

mondays:- chest and bi's
wednesdays:- shoulders
fridays:-back and tri's
legs i do every other saturday at the min and i do 3 miles on the bike every morning 5 days a week.

whats ya reckon all?

Whats your reasons for this mate?

When you work your chest you're also hitting your triceps

Same for back when you work you back you'll be hitting the biceps so it's best to work them together or you face training the same muscle groups twice a week.

Not necessarily. I have done back & triceps because if I do back & biceps I can't seem to give 100% on my biceps as they are already smashed from back. If doing back & triceps, shoulders & biceps etc, your secondary muscle is more fresh, IMO of course.

Each to their own. :biggrin:

I have done both methods and TBH it is hard to say which is best!!!

Each to thier own

**Pscarb** · 14-07-2007, 07:00 PM

for once i will disagree with Robsta

I train Chest and Biceps and shoulders and Triceps mainly because i can fully focus on that one muscle group without it being pre-exhausted then later in the week hit it again as a secondary muscle....

Rock - i am feeling nice today so i will move this post as it is in the wrong section normally i would delete it please be more careful which section you post in please mate...

If you've gone from 10-11 stone to almost 16 stone, then just keep doing whatever it is that you've been doing
