routine change..

[jlm25]

So I have been doing a 5 day split of the following:
Monday: Chest
Tuesday:Back
Wednesday:legs
Thursday:Shoulders
Friday:Arms

I've been making pretty solid gains while doing this. I also flip it in do it in reverse order every once in awhile. I have been thinking of switching my routine and giving this a try:

Monday: legs
Tuesday: chest/back
Wednesday: Arms
Thursday:legs/shoulders
Friday:chest/back

Not sure how well that would work. Would I risk possibly injuring my shoulder since I'm not giving it much of a breather? Any suggestions I would appreciate!

Your new routine idea is exactly how mine was for the past year.

I just recently switched it up to look like this

Workout A: Chest/triceps
Workout B: Legs
Workout C: Back/biceps
Rest
Workout D: Shoulders
Workout E: Chest/back/biceps/triceps
Two days of rest

This is an 8 day workout plan. I've been seeing pretty good results with it, especially the back/biceps. I've been really squeezing out my contractions on my back workouts and getting an extra pump in my biceps and then killing them with bar curls at the end or isolation exercises on the all out upper body day. I think this is starting to finally add some more thickness to my arms.


Good luck to you if you do switch up, it is always a big decision!

They always say though to stick with what works for you.

as far as injury goes...the only person who can know that is you. i know when i do BB Bench, my shoulder screams stop everytime. i have to do DB.

Push/Pull/Legs i had without a doubt the most success with, i find it to be a grat program and easily to taylor to your own goals and style.

many people love push/pull. i hate it. i need a high volume routine to get anything. it takes alot for me to get sore also.
