FIVE day split Help?
« on: January 15, 2007, 10:15:34 AM »
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 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...

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!

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.

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.
