Pushups only until I break the 100 mark on my 50th birthday. Then back to bodybuilding.

Sounds cool.

I'm trying a 4-day (dropping another day) to see how it goes.
I was doing 6-days, then 5-days, will now drop back to 4...

Been feeling run-down, so maybe this will help. (Old guy stuff).

Chest day is really a Bench/Tricep day, I dont spend too much time training "Pecs".

Exercises listed are just the basic's, I swap out exercises here and there.

Damn.

With all that pressing, you hammer the fuck outta your triceps!

Dropping down to four days/wk. is probably a good idea, especially since, if memory serves, you're not just an old fart -- no!  You're a *strong* old fart :)

That makes all the difference :)

Doing... Chest+Biceps
             back+triceps
             off
            legs
            shoulders
            REPEAT 
Feeling fuller with this workout. Thick upper back & Chest. really hitting the iron.
Ideally for me ...

Chest + Back
Legs
Off
Shoulders
Biceps + Triceps
Off
Repeat

However I have not been able to maintain this schedule and might go days or weeks between workouts. I need to get back into this routine.

Another split I did used to be similar to yours:

Chest + Biceps
Legs
off
Shoulders
Lats + Triceps
Off
Repeat

For both splits I would work in Calves whenever I felt like doing them. Sometimes every day, other times a few days off between. During the winter when covered up I might skip calves training for a few weeks or months.

Every chick you see is "hotter than Dutch love" lol


BTW:


"The phrase “hotter than Dutch love in harvest” dates back to the 60s and does have quite the sound to it. To get down to the meaning it actually means “hot weather in the forecast” so for example you could say “Tomorrow is supposed to be hotter than Dutch love in harvest”."

Not every woman is hotter than Dutch love.  :D

The 1960s?

My grandmother said it way before that.  It's much older.

Yes, it referred to the weather.

Off-season, 30-35 minutes after training.

This is what I did every week for NPC Universe for 16 weeks.

Thanks, i cycle outdoors myself. i admit i feel it on my legs after a leg day but your legs can take high reps in my opinion.

Off-season, I use bikes after leg day.

For prepping a show, I only use treadmill.

If i train serious than this:

Legs
triceps+Chest (No Bench pressing, if i do than first chest than trizeps) 
back+Biceps
off
Legs
Abs+Chest
off
REPEAT

Stretching 4 times a day.

Normally no shoulder training, maybe from time to time on a off day and mostly back shoulder.

Chest day is often times 2- 2,5 ours long. (sometimes longer)
back+Biceps is 1-2,5 ours
Legs 50min.-130min.

If overtrained, it usually happens after 4-6 month, i rest for a week or two than start with lighter training again.
Sometimes i eat a light meal between sets (after ca. 2 ours, only carbs, usually on chest day)

Using your whole bodyweight as in walking..etc i suppose is logically better but i like to sprint on the bike & outddors i believe the training effects are much better. I like to look at the pussy too in the summer months.
