What routine works the best for you?

[sandman_007]

here's what works really well for me.

Day 1 Chest, biceps
Day 2 OFF
Day 3 shoulders, traps, calves
Day 4 Triceps, forearms, abs, neck
Day 5 OFF
Day 6 Legs, lower back
Day 7 Upper back, calves
Day 8 OFF
sometimes, depending on level of soreness- i take day 9 off too. but usually not.
REPEAT

every 4 weeks or so, i lighten up on the routine and perform a week where i only workout for 3 days. i never take a week off, unless i get sick.

i love 5x5 and i just barely started

What I've done for a while is this:
Sunday: ME lower and events
Monday: Overhead work and 400m sprint
Tuesday: Off
Wednesday: DE Lower
Thursday: Lats, Rows, Biceps, Triceps, Delts (1-2 sets of each)
Friday: Off
Saturday: Off

Right now I'm working with an injury and trying to gain some weight. I am working with a slightly different split at the moment...

Sunday: ME lower and events
Monday: Off (might add a 400m sprint when my foot heals)
Tuesday: Overheads (axle press, incline log, board press), chins, curls (1-2 sets of each)
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: DE Lower, HEAVY Barbell Rows
Friday: OFF
Saturday: Off

I am hoping that getting rid of Thursday workout of lats, etc...and putting chins with OHP and Rows with DE Lower, as well as doing an overhead press (light) on Sunday's event day...will help with my goals and injuries.

I like Step Cycles
(Power to the People!)
short workouts, I can do them frequently cus of the low volume
and the results are pretty solid

higher volume and somewhat less frequently has worked for me...hmm. it's physically not possible for me anyway to do low volume workouts. Once i get pumped i want to keep getting more- i'd never feel complete with just a couple working sets of each exer.
