Need opinions on this workout routine...

[M56M]

Ok from what was explained to me:

FOR EXAMPLE: On Monday you do 1 exercise for 5 sets @ 12reps at the same weight(1 exercise for each muscle). The weight should be enough to go to failure with each muscle. Only 30 seconds between sets.

And then you change it on Thursday, instead of flat bench you do incline bench or flies or decline etc.

Same goes for Tues./Friday, you change the excercise each time you come to that day.

Monday:
Chest
Shoulders
Back
Biceps
Triceps

Tues:
Quads
Hams
Calves
Abs

Wed:
Cardio

Thursday:
same as monday

Friday:
same as Tues.

Sat:
Cardio

Sunday:
off

Now my problem with this is, i believe that it will help you get cut, not big. My partner seems to dissagree, what do you guys/gals think?

BTW, another reason is that i am on 600mg/enanthate and 600mg of EQ, and i don't feel like it is straining enough.

My usual workout is:
Monday: Chest
Tues: Back
Wed: Legs
Thurs: Shoulders
Friday: Arms

You are doing to much on mon and tues,
Break up the body parts and try to take a little more time between set like 45-60 sec cause you will not be able to counter the oxygen debt in your body. This workout will not get really big. If you juice well then you'll get better result but you can get better with a different workout that specializes the muscle to cut down on workout time per session.

So do you think my regular routine is better then?

My usual workout is:
Monday: Chest
Tues: Back
Wed: Legs
Thurs: Shoulders
Friday: Arms

I usually do 4 exercises for 4 sets @ 6-12 reps.

Try this
Day 1 Back and bis
Day 2 Chest Tris
Day 3 Rest
Day 4 Shoulders then Arms
Day 5 Legs
Day 6 Rest
Day 7 Rest (optional)
Repeat
P.s. I do back before chest cause I have always found it uncomfortable to do back if my chest and tris were sore.

That is a nice routine, but what do you do for arms on Day 4, if you do, biceps on Day 1 and Triceps on Day 2?

Try this bro, a little improvment with some more detail
Day 1 Back ( 3 exercises, 2 rows barbell or t-bar 4x8, dumbell 3x12, pulldown 3x10) and bis( 1 exercise cable crossover curls 3 set X 15 )
Day 2 Chest( 3 exercises 2 benches- first bench, do 3x5 and second one do 4x8, and 1 crossover 2x12-15) Tris ( 1 exercise, standing extentions or ropes 2-3 set x 15)
Day 3 Rest
Day 4 Shoulders ( 5 exercises, 2 presses, then front, side, rear delt raises) then Arms ( triceps - 3 exercises close grip 3x5, skulls 3x8 and 1 arm reverse extentions 2x12-15) (biceps 2 exercises barbell and dumbell curls 3x8)
Day 5 Legs ( squats 4x8, extentions 4x10, hammy curls 4x8, calf press 5x15, hyperextentions 4x12)
Day 6 Rest
Day 7 Rest (optional)

Abs 3 times a week 5 sets, at the end of session, and can add calves 1 more time, prefferably on back day same 5x15, you need high reps on calves otherwise the tendon takes over for the muscle

That is a good question I find that a lot of the times I am very fatigue by the end of my workout and that a lot of my strength is use on the heavier body movements, because of this my arms grow only so much and are not really sore the next day. When i do arms the second time I do a push pull pattern and find the result to be incredible.

example of push-pull
2 sets seated alternating dumbell curls
2 setsskullcrushers ( do them first for more control)
1 set dumbelss
1 set skullcrushers
the rest is every other set back and forth
prechers curls 3 sets
pushdowns 3 sets
hammer curls 2 sets
close grip bench 2 sets

Thanks guys.

CycloneHWT AND Lord-Suston,

Thank both of you, i am actually going to switch my workout to that method, it seems to be very practical, and i like how you can incorporate a day of rest in there also. Thanks again.
