Is there any cariation of 5x5 or HST or anything that may couple the low rep range for the big exercises and the 6-10 range for others? 5 day split? Most of what I read is a 3-4 day, I'd love to get in one more.....

i work out 2 days on 1 day off
day 1=chest and biceps
day 2=quads and triceps
rest
day 1=back and biceps
day 2=shoulders and triceps
seems to be working like a sonofabitch

chest
back
shoulders

I did a similar split for a while (Chest, Back, Shoulders, Legs, Arms). It got a little tough sometimes to make 5 days in a row; work interfered sometimes. So I put arms at the end in case I needed to bump a day; they are the easiest bodypart for me to maintain.

Also triceps should be fresher if you don't work them day after shoulders. I love to give arms their own day as you can superset triceps and biceps (also it's nice to see/feel your WHOLE arms being pumped) 8)

just had a quick look and as far i can tell it looks good. unless arms would interfer with your chest workout doing a lot of work on the triceps the day before.
-
GREAT CATCH!
I'm gonna flip Friday and Saturday! Satursdays I only get in 2 meals pre training whereas during the week I get about 5 good ones...so arm day would be perfect for that...
-
is monday resting day too?
-
monday and thursday 40 minutes light pm cardio
2 on 1 off, 3 on, 1 off
-
allright well triceps might not be as strong the day after chest, but rather than than compromise the chest training as it's a more important musclegroup.
-
Yes, thanks brutha.....some do tris AFTER chest...the way I figure it, at least there is 12 hours between the two and about 5 good meals with some sleep!
-
monday and thursday 40 minutes light pm cardio
2 on 1 off, 3 on, 1 off
I train the same way..
I would put a bodypart or a rest day in between chest and arms (bis and/or tis)
thats what I think..
-
Looks pretty good man. Be careful with the low reps not to injure yourself.
-
I need a nother exercise for delts.....got em today and it looks like a 30 minute routine.....No PR attempts, trust me...pt right now, but come feb, we'll blow the doors off........
-
do you do any exercise for the back of shoulders?
-
Rear delt machine or rear delt flyes: 2 x 15
-
Why do you want another ex. for shoulders? You already hit all three heads with 4.
-
I agree and after last night, it's all I need to kill it......if I was to add another day and have just Monday off, would hat be sound advice, and what could I add? Legs on Thursday? Power movements?
-
i think 5 nights running is too much for a natty, it will break your body down before too long. Dont know if its any use but i go
Monday - Shoulders + Traps
Tuesday - Back and Tris
Wed - cardio and abs
Thurs - Chest and bis
Friday - Legs
Saturday - cardio and abs (if i dont feel too f c ked)
Ideally, i would rather swap my legs to thursday and chest friday, but i train with a partner who doesnt train legs and cant train on a friday
-
How can you have a partner that doesn't train legs?????? WACK....unless, of course, medical reasons....
I like the split...2 on 1 off 3 on 1 off.....no overtraining there....what is your cardio? PM Treadmill?
-
he is a weekend warrior type, that just lives for the weekend to get pi ssed and just isnt interested in training legs.
cardio i usually go jogging for 40 mins at a steady pace - usually about 3.5 miles.

Nice....hey bro, thanks for your help.....1 month into therapy and I'm sooo much better off for it...thanks you zoloft!
