New Split
« on: February 18, 2008, 02:46:23 PM »
So I'd like to really concentrate on filling my back out more and to do that I've decided to split my back workouts into two separate days, one for width and one for thickness only.  I've come up with this 3 week rotation and would like some input as to what you guys think.  Previously, I just had chest and back on the same days so going to split that into chest/back thickness one day and chest/back width the other day.  I'm an experienced lifter on HRT and the volume should be fine.  For the weeks I have two days hitting bodyparts I hit them heavy at the beginning of  the week and then do about 70% 1rm reps the second time later in the week.  Let me know what you guys think.

Week 1

   Monday – Chest/Back Width/Abs
   Tuesday - Arms/Shoulders
   Wednesday - Off
   Thursday – Legs
   Friday – Chest/Back Thickness/Abs
   Saturday - Arms/Shoulders/
   Sunday – off

Week 2
   
   Monday – Legs
   Tuesday – Chest/Back Width/Abs
   Wednesday – Off
   Thursday – Arms/Shoulders
   Friday – Legs
   Saturday – Chest/Back Thickness/Abs
   Sunday - Off

Week 3

   Monday – Arms/Shoulders
   Tuesday – Legs
   Wednesday – Off
   Thursday – Chest/Back Width/Abs
   Friday -Arms/Shoulders
   Saturday – Legs
   Sunday - Off

Week 4 – Repeat Week 1

The alternate every other week looks like an interesting idea.  My only thing is it looks like over training, especially for arms..........  Are you a natty???  Make sure you eat a lot!

I'm not natty, I said I'm on HRT and my diet is always 110% on =)

As far as arms go, I hit them really light usally, low reps with heavy weights.  I used to blast the shit out of them but got out of that mentality.

I could drop the second arm day and just do shoulders, might be a good idea cause I do deads/rack pulls on back days.

What ever works for you bro!  I wish I could be in the gym that much.  Work, family, etc, my goal is 4 times a week.  Not like in my single/no kid days....

Working next door to Golds helps with the schedule =)  I work 10-12 hours a day and have a girlfriend but I never miss a workout unless I'm sick.
