Workout tweaking help!!!

[brandonp005]

Yeah, I'm kind of getting tired of the same old workout routine and would like to spice it up a bit. I prefer a 4 day workout plan cause I don't like to workout on Fridays cause I go home on the weekends. (in college)

right now this is how my training split is:

Monday- Chest,forearms,abs
Tuesday- Biceps,Back
Wednesday- Triceps,shoulders,abs
Thursday- Legs
Friday, Saturday, Sunday- off

I've tried to read up on that 5x5 workout, but I can't find like a basic layout of it. Any help would be much appreciated

This should keep you busy reading about the 5x5 for a while. Also check out the journals of people on the single and dual factor versions.
