Title: need a new training split
Post by: mdgkmg on March 01, 2007, 10:19:51 AM

I'm currently doing each bodypart twice a week training six days a week. my split looks a little like this

mon.&thurs.             tues.&fri.              wed.&sat
chest                      back                      quads
shoulders                 traps                      hams
triceps                    biceps                     glutes
abs                         forearms                  calves

this split does work to some degree in a months time i've packed half an inch onto my arms and 2" on my chest. but i'm looking for something a little different that would still have me training each group twice a week. any ideas y'all can give me i'd appreciate it.

So many variations, here are a few:

-Put chest & back together on one day, and arms together on another. Shoulders/traps/forearms, etc. allocate to those two days as desired.

-Put a day's rest after each 3 day cycle.

-Put the leg day in between the upper body days, to allow more rest.


Or..

Try a 2-day split, with a days' rest after each cycle.

are you saying it seems like a logical way to split the muscle groups or does it seems like some b.s.?

I spelled out some alternatives, why don't you consider those and others?
