Back/lat work is pulling. Squatting/pressing is pushing. If I were you, and you're going to do push/pull, I'd squat and press and work tris Mon and Thurs and then do the back/biceps workouts on Tues and Fri......if you want to do deadlifting and olympic lifting, I find push/pull is a pain in the ass and it works better to either do full body or squats and pulls / upper and lats or upper/lower.

But anyway, for push pull, and if you're naming bodyparts instead of lifts, I'd do this...

Monday

Legs/ heavy Chest/ light shoulders/Tris

Tuesday

Back/Bis

Thursday

Legs/light chest/ heavy shoulders/tris

Friday

Back/bis

Again, not one of my first choices for a routine, but since you asked....this will get you some frequency, allow you to train lifts in a progressive manner, and can be setup pretty good.

You have posted 4-5 different routines in a week, slammed veteran members, don't listen to advice, and keep posting stupid questions that have already been answered. USE ONE OF THE ROUTINES YOU POSTED FOR MORE THAN A WEEK.

Those posts both came after you were taken to task for making 5 diff't posts asking about 5 diff't training "splits" within one week.

Seems like overtraining to me?

The biggest mistake I made in weight training was thinking that the more I lift the stronger I will get. Surprizingly, the more you rest the better the results.

It isn't overtraining at all, of course, it CAN be, but so can everything, it is all about how you manage workload and intensity.....if you're interested in an example of how to layout something like that, I'd be more than happy to post.

Surely with all these under your belt, you should be able to assess on your own if GVT is right for you?

 

[The New Guy]

is GVT good workout?

Indeed.
