Overall, it looks real good. I was doing a split very similar to that for a month, and I was really pleased with it. I only have a few minor recommendations: *Work your shoulders before your tris on Monday. Military press utilizes triceps (to a degree). *Drop the preacher curl, and do dumbbell curls. *Do weighted pullups and drop the reps down to the 4-8 range. *Go heavy on the calves, do 2 sets each and only go for 6-8 reps. For me, that's the only way I can get results. Again, these recommendations are only my opinions. Use 'em, don't use 'em... No skin off my nose. IP: Logged |

Your split looks good! As a rule, whenever I'm sore I take off a little more time to let that muscle fully recover. I found that I get much better growth this way. ------------------------------------------ Train...........................(S)mart IP: Logged |

That is very similar to what I'm doing now. Simple and effective. Just make sure you progress every week IP: Logged |

I notice you mix high and low volume. I thought people normally do all of one or all of another. (Periodization?) Is mixing high and low volume standard practice? I have been lifting for 3 months and my 'train ever part 3 times a week' routine isn't working anymore so I am designing a split and this looks good. IP: Logged |
