heres the routine i was planning to do for the next 6-8 weeks. i used to to a chest/back, arms/shoulders, legs/abs type split......with fairly low volume too, about6-8 sets per bodypart (i.e. 6 chest sets, 6 back sets)
i wanted to see what would happen if i added a bit more volume. would it mean more muscle growth? also i cant decide between doing 2 or 3 sets of each cheat exercise on chest day
anyhow heres what i planned
day1
chest/tri/shoulder
2-3 sets incline dumbell press
2-3 sets flat DB press
2 sets DB shoulder press
2-3 sets parallel dips
2 sets pull downs
and also maybe 2 sets incline DB flyes
day2
legs/abs
4-5 sets squats
2 sets deadlifts (ive never deadlifted before
, just squats and variations of them )
2-3 sets leg press
2 sets calf raises
2 sets hanging leg lifts
2 sets roman chair
2 set cable crunches
day3
back/bi's
2 sets standing BB curl
2 sets close grip chins
3 sets seated cable rows
3 sets rows (of any sort, i was thinking t-bar rows?)
2 sets wide grip pull downs
and maybe 2 sets hammer curls
so, any thoughts? too much volume? wrong exercises? on chest days previouly ive never done a fly-type exercise for chest as my arms are like jello after benching
similar reason for never having done deadlifts, as my legs are jello after squats
any help would be much appreciated. i wanna get big and strong
