Evaluate my training routine

[JoNeS]

I do each body part once a week with the exception of traps/calves/abs which i do 2 times a week.

I do 4-5 exercises per upper body muscle, and 2-3 exercises per lower body muscle.

I do 4-5 sets per muscle with the rep range from 8-14. With the exception of the first set I try to train to failure most often but not always.

Also do a lot of drop-sets and supersets.

Of these 4 muscles (chest, should, bi, tri's) I'll train 2 of them together on the same day. I train back and legs by themselves.

I've been told that I'm doing too many exercises and sets, but I haven't plateu'd and I feel 100% when I hit the muscle the next week

Bulking right now, so no cardio. But maybe an occasional 10 min walk / stair stepper right after doing a leg day.

Any suggestions, changes, or critiques... thanks

reading your post is like solving a puzzle; I do 4-5 excercises but for leg I do 3-4 and upper body I do 4-5 what kind of split do I have??? Just type out the whole thing and then people can help,lol.

overtraining your upper body, The lower body/full body lifts are the key to growth!!!


squats, deads, cleans, RDL, snatch, jerk

lots of supersets increase muscle size by increasing capillary density and not contractile proteins

Do antagonistic supersets for the upper body & compound lifts for the lower
