Monday chest alone it usually drains me
Tues. shoulders followed by atleast 20 min. cardio
Wed. bi's and tri's
Thurs. back followed by cardio
Fri. Legs
Sat. Start over with what I did on monday
Sun. off
Abs everyday
Next week on monday start with shoulders
Then the next week bi's and tri's
If you're looking for a good guide to working out I suggest picking up The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding by Arnold Schwarzeneger, It covers everything and gets you really pumped at the same time.

The reason I think this workout BLOWS is cause all of my smaller muscles (bi's and tri's ) used in the bigger muscle excercises, ie chest/shoulder are exhausted by the time I get to work them individually. I think I will switch to the split (2 musles a day) method.
bro, you shouldnt do chest and then day after do shoulders and tris! you nbeed to spread these 3 parts out throughout the week or do them all togeather. just a little corrective criticism
I just switched to this and my gains have really improved..
Mon - Chest
Tues- Legs
wed- rest
Thurs- Shoulders and triceps
Friday- back and biceps
This gives my shoulders and tris two days of rest after my chest workout and then three days to recover before the next chest workout. I really think it's good to workout four days a week even when juicing. I've seen better gains this way than when I was doing 5 or 6 days a week but everyone is different. Just find what's best for you, it takes time.
all these are great variations, but would like to add, generally we begin our workout week with our favorate bodypart..depending on your goals I plan my week based on weekest bodyparts first..striving for an even balance between all muscles..Just my opinion..
Monday: Chest & Bis & light Tris
Tuesday: Back & Traps
Wednesday: Heavy Hams, Light Quads & Calves
Thursday: Off
Friday: Shoulders & Tris & light Bis
Saturday: Heavy Quads, Light Hams & Calves
Sunday: Off
I hit cardio for 30 minutes 4 to 5 days a week.
I dont beleive in over training, just under eating.
Mon: Chest and back
Tue: Shoulders, Tri's, and Bi's
Wed: Leg day/rest for upper body
Thur: Chest and Back
Fri: Shoulders, Tri's, and Bi's
Sat&Sun:Off/rest
That is when on cycle...I cut back to 3 days a week off...
Seems like overtraining...but it works for me...
