I don't believe that it's neccessary to train 5 days a week. I believe anyone who weight trains intensily more than 3 days per week is overtrained or is doing excessive work. If you want a five day split routine, I'll give you one, but I don't think you'll make that good of progress.

Day 1- Chest, Abs
Day 2- Shoulders, Calves
DAy 3- Back
Day 4- Rest
Day 5- Triceps, Biceps, Forearms & Abs
Day 6- Quads, Hamstrings, Calves
Day 7- Rest

Good luck....

Stick with a 3day routine. In the routine your working your pressing mucles monday and tuesday, not too good. Try the about workout. I use a similar one all the time with great results.

How do you warm up for that workout. I know that HIT has a so-so following. In your honest opinion can you really add quality mass using HIT or is it better to do 3 or 4 set of 4-6 reps?

Thanks

2. Bench Dips 1 x failure

WORKOUT 2

supersetted with
2. Reverse/Close Grip Pulldowns 1 x failure
3. Bent-Over Barbell Rows 1 x failure
4. Deadlifts 1 x failure
TRAPS
1. Barbell Shrugs 1 x failure
BICEPS
1. Nautilus Bicep Machine 1 x failure
2. Dumbbell Curls 1 x failure

WORKOUT 3
LEGS

At home I do Forearm and Grip work. I would do grip work at my gym, but I don't believe they would appreciate me dropping 180 pound dumbbells on the floor.

I reposted HIT Bodybuilder's post from another thread.

What do you think if I would do that workout but , do at least 3 sets and go to 4-6 reps. Then take a day off and repeat?

I dont like 3-4 heavy sets cause for me if I max on on the first set, my next may only be 7 reps, next will be 4 reps etc. So I do 2 warmups than 1-2 heavy sets to failure. I dont really count reps. I pick up say 120lbs for incline DB press and press for as many as possible, say 6-7, next week Ill try for more reps, or use 125lbs for at least the same reps.
