The only other routine I have ever had was 2 bodyparts a day. And that seemed to do O.K. I just didnt feel that I worked each bodypart to its fullest. Know that I am on a heavy bulking cycle I guess I should change... Any input would be great. M: Chest     | ||

M- Chest T- Bi's cardio+abs W- Back and Legs Th- Shoulders F- Tri's cardio+abs I would suggest that you take one day off in the middle of the week to aid in recuperation. I wouldn't train Back the day after biceps, there just is no way that you can get a quality back workout with sore biceps. also you train legs and back together yet you train very small muscles (arms) on a day of there own. Back and Legs require more energy to train and should be done on separate days. Your biggest problem is the legs/back on the same day. Two low intensity cardio sess. per week will not hinder your ability to make gains. For gaining mass emphasize heavy exercises and heavy weights (good form of course) Workouts for mass need to be under 1 Hour. | ||

If you want to bulk, you have to train less, and raise your intensity. There's no way you can bulk up good working out 6 days a week..unless you're juicing... | ||

Check out the Luvs2juice burning topic... Definitely not over 4 intense days a week and two in a row... I got my biggest gains with Mo-We-Fri routine. I think most on this topic was already said in the forums, but basically: focus on compound movements (basic exercises), eat smart, rest (sleep) a lot, I personally avoid doin' cardio when tryin' to add mass, but if you're more of an endomorph, you can try it. Train heavy, eat heavy and smart, rest as much as you can, and watch yourself grow. Keep the faith in reachin' your personal goals. Mylo | ||

for any bulking routine you need to stick to basics you will need to drop the isolation excercises this is the routine i would do. squats stiffleg deadlift benchpress barbell pullovers chins military press barbell curls calf raise sets/reps monday 1x10reps wednesday 2x10reps friday 3x10reps work every set to positive failure try to add 5lbs a week to each movement. follow this routine for 10weeks remember you have to eat big to bulk good luck hope this helps | ||

greenhouse....your days look very close to mine...except i've compressed bis/tris into one day and do less exercises for them. I try to keep my workout short 45 mins to an hour and train more intensly. | ||

get your ass to the powerlifting forum and read BigMikes post..."note:getting big is simple"... Its got an article there by yours truly that will help you bulk up no end. Basically, cut the crap, only do the big lifts, forget the little pissy exercises, and only lift a maximum of 3 times a week. Go read it, cheers, G. | ||

Big Bear, G Force, and HIT all gave great advice....forget about all the happy horseshit like cables, and machines...concentrate on your basic compound movements, and limit your training to 3 days a week...you will find that you come to the gym feeling big, strong, and rested. When you train naturally and are in the gym 4-6 days a week, you will always feel like you got hit by a truck towards the end of the week. I think HIT is the best route for mass, because recovery and nutrition, and quality of training, not quantity is what will get you big. Don't buy into the bullshit in the musclemags, they are money makers, and most of those guys wouldn't go near the programs they advocate in Flex, and Musclemag, and those other rags. | ||

Here is a mass routine that has always done the trick for me....also I'd wanted to add that you do entirely too many sets and reps... Mon...flat bench, 3 sets of 2-5, dumbell flyes, 2 sets of 8-10 behind the neck press, 3 sets of 2-5, dumbell side laterals, 2 sets of 6-8,........Wed...Chins, 3 sets to failure, bent over barbell rows, 2 sets of 6-8...preacher curls, 3 sets of 6-10, seated alt. dumbell curls...3 sets of 6-10....shrugs, 2 sets of 8-12.....Fri...Squats, 3 sets of 3-6, front squats, 2 sets of 6-10...stiff leg deadlifts, 3 sets of 6-10,..some typr of calf raise for 2 sets to failure. | ||

Shit...I forgot about tris...I do 3 sets of either pushdowns or weighted dips with 6-12 reps on Mon as the very last excercise. |
