so i have been doing the same style of workout ever since i started weightlifting. my split went like this
mon: chest and tries
tue: back and bis
wed: cardio or off
thu: shoulders
fri: legs
i feel that with this split my upper body does not have enough recovery time since all the muscles are intertwined and hit indirectly on more or less every upper body day. now i kind of stole some ideas from supersoldier but i will break up my exercises into ranges of motion and opposing ranges of motion.
away push: bench and away pull: cable rows
push up: shoulder press and pull downull ups
push down: dips and pull ups : upright rows
i will preform 2 of each excercise at a weight that i reach failure at aroung 6 reps. i will also perfrom opposing excercises interchanged. so a set of bench then a set of cable rows then another set of bench and another set of cable rows. this should help me move through my workout faster and lift the same amount of weight since my chest will be resting while i am doing my cable rows. this means 12 sets a workout. it should provide a massive pump which is always motovating. i will do this upper body workout on on mondays and thursdays so i can feel tight all week. but should in theory give me more recovery time as well. anybody have any thoughts?
