Questions for which workouts 5 days a week ??

I am approx 2+ weeks into the Omega Phase1, and loving it, with my new Powertec home gym it is so nice.

Question about which exercises should I be doing, if I want to workout 5 days a week, taking Sat/Mon's off. I read that DAY1 Legs needs to be done twice a week, why is that, because the legs help build up the muscle to upper body too ??

So that leaves 3 DAYS left, which would be either 2-CHEST + 1-BACK, or 2-BACK + 1-CHEST...what is the recommendation ??

Thanks

You rotate. 1 week you do Legs/Back/Chest/Legs/Back and the next week you do Legs/Chest/Back/Legs/Chest.


That makes sense :) :) Thanks.

What about others who can only train 4days a week, then it is LEGS, BACK, LEGS, CHEST ??
 
the 5 day routine should be comprised of 2 Leg and AB Sessions :

http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/o...ciple-legs-how-train-them-75-time-571003.html

then the other days you do:

1)

Day2

Back:

Machine Pull Down to the front
Key Tip: FEEL all muscles contract as if you are posing you back muscle, feel them contract!

take a 1 minute break Stretch after this exercise

1 Arm Dumbell Rows or Hammer Strength 1 arm rows
Key Tip: feel all muscles contract as if you are pulling the weight in, feel them contract! )

take a 2 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

on this day guys 1 arm rows ( I use hammer strength)
are the KEY to your thick huge back that will come in time
TREAT this exercise as your STAPLE and respect it, IT ALL ABOUT FORM and feeling that massive contraction (center back)

it alone will be the "squats" for your back and biceps, that right BOTH back and Biceps.

Dumbbell Shrugs
Key Tip: This is all about the top of the movement, FEEL it squeeze.
Also do NOT go all the way down, just do the top 3/4th of the shrug movement as its all you need at this point. You already hit lower traps , and other assit muscle with the Rows and Pull downs.

Dumbell standing side laterals. ( Peak Contraction as top nice and slow)
what do these on Back day???
YES these along with Shrugs were part of the foundation of the young man I trained and my shoulders.


Biceps:

Cambered Barbell Curls

Cambered Bar Reverse barbell Curls ( on this one just do 4 sets of 20 and dont go past 50 pounds)


do a quick 10-15 minutes of cardio after


2)

Chest:

Machine Flat Press ( all about Peak contraction, try to finish the movement with both pecs Squeezed as if your doing a pose on stage, it indeed may take you several workout to harness this technique, BE patient! with your self and your body)

take a 1 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

Low Incline Dumbbell Press ( this is the "squats" for both your chest and Deltoids, respect this movement and it will treat you VERY well)

take a 1 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

Cable Flys
Key Tip: do 3/4th range of motion and really feel the Chest as Much
as possible and when reps get difficult actually SLOW the pace to
feel it even more.

ONE Shoulder Exercise ONLY !!
but this is what will make you Shoulders
Powerful.

6 Sets of Smith machine Military Presses to the Front. Do these So
strict that you have no choice but to use the front and side delts.

You should be fried after this and energized

TRICEPS:

Press downs using a Straight Bar
take a 1-2 minutes break Stretch after this exercise

1 Arm Press downs (palm facing forward and down)


do a quick 10-15 minutes of cardio after
 
week one:

1) Legs/ Abs
2) Back/Bis
Day OFF
3) Chest, Delt, Tris
4) Legs.Abs
5) Back/Bis
Day OFF

week two:

1) Legs/ Abs
2)Chest, Delt, Tris
Day OFF
3) Back/Bis
4) Legs.Abs
5) Chest, Delt, Tris
Day OFF


Doing it this way allows you to rise at a meteoric pace
