Routine Advice

Hi,

I would like your thought on my routine and how it could be improved. I currently do a 3 day program which I try for Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Although owning to an irregular shift pattern the days are sometimes different.

Monday

10mins on Cross Trainer

Chest
Bench Press 2 x 10 warm up - 3 x 8/10 work sets
Incline Smith Press 1 x warm up - 3 x 8/10 work sets
Flat Dumbbell Flys 1 x warm up - 3 x 8/10 Work sets

Tri
Dumbell press 1 x warmup - 3 x 8/10 Work Set

Wednesday

10mins on Cross Trainer

Legs

(Unfortunately can’t do anything that puts too much stress on the knee e.g. squats due to old footballing injury!!)

Leg press 2 x 10 Warm up - 3 x 8/10 work sets
Leg extensions 1 x warm up - 3 x 10 work sets
Leg Curl 1 x warm up - 3 x 10 work sets

Shoulders
Seated Dumbell Press 1 x 10 warm up -3x 8/10 work sets
Lat raises 1 x 10 warm up -3x 8/10 work sets
Dumbell Flys 1 x 10 warm up -3x 8/10 work sets

Friday

10mins on Cross Trainer

Back
Weighted Chins 1x warm up (unweighted) 3 work sets 10,8,6
Barbell Row 1x warm up 3 x 8/10 work sets
Close grip lat pulldown 1x warm up 3 x 8/10 work sets

Biceps
E-z bicep curl 1x warm up 3 x 8/10 work sets
Concentration curls 1x warm up 3 x 8/10 work sets
Cable curls 1x warm up 3 x 8/10 work sets

Have I got my splits right?
Will my muscles be getting enough rest?

I have had problems in the past with my left elbow and want to avoid too much stress on it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Re: Routine Advice

With not doing any type of dead lift or seated row what are you doing for lower back? hypers would be good!

do you not work your calves, if you start to progress they will have a lot of catching up to do.

I see you warm up with cross trainer, if this is cardio, its better done after weights.

Re: Routine Advice

Forgot about calves. I do them after the leg press using the leg press machine 3 sets to failure.
