My routine

[Choakachoa]

Well, I constructed this routine just the other day and was looking for some advice as to if this is an effective workout schedule.

Mon - Shoulders / Aerobics
Tues - Back (minor bi's)
Wed - Chest (minor tri's)
Thurs - rest
Fri - Arms / Aerobics
Sat - Legs
Sun - rest

And repeat...

For all you expert lifters, does this look like a practical, conventional, effective workout schedule?

And what possible adjustments could I make that would maximize effectiveness?

here's mine:

mon-chest
tues-legs and calves
wed-bi's & tri's
thurs- back & shoulders sometimes chest (light)
Friday- abs
Saturday - eat & sleep
Sunday - eat & sleep

I like sets of 5, reps of 12,10,8,6,6, starting with light weight and finishing with heavy weight.

what are your reps and sets look like bro?

 

[Choakachoa]

Well I haven't quite figured those out yet; but what I've been doing is 3 sets of 8-10 each, and doing as many as I can for a fourth set, which is usually anywhere from 5-7 (or lowering the weight and finishing with a good 12-14 reps. I've only been working out for a month or so but I'm looking to get serious now. I'm lifting primarily for mass, but I don't want big globs, I want some definition.

If specifics mean anything, I'm 150, 5'9" and looking to add at least 10-15 pounds.

Cool victorbr, does that work well for you? Do you never find yourself going to work out sore or do you have enough time to recoop?

jeb0177: What do you mean what am I taking? Are you referring to program or diet or what? I must have missed something, sorry.

 

[jeb0177]

as far as anabolics or going natural?

What is "aerobics"? Are we talking cardio or jazzercise?
