Thats a hell of a lot for chest!
|
I'll be following your progress, mate.
Will be posting mine up soon. I always record my workouts, so it's just a case of finding time to make it read properly. Good luck |
do you think that is two much if i was in gym push up would have been replaced with cable flys
this is why thought post it up see where maybe going right or wrong |
I would have done it like this:
decline bench press 4 x 10 to 6 reps incline bench press 4 x 10 to 6 reps flat flye/incline flye 4 x 10 to 8 reps (alternate from week to week) Press up 4 x to failure and with a chest workout like that I would only have done 3 sets per exercise for triceps. |
tue back/bicept
warm up 3mins rower seated row machine light wights 25 reps back dead lift 12;10,8,4 lat pull down 12,10,10,8 bumbell row 12,10,8 t bar row 12,10,8 bi ez bar preacher curls 12,10,8,8 dumbell hammer curls 3 sets to fail cable curl 12,10,8,6 |
cheers cc
do you think i need to do less on most workout as normally aim for 4 exercises for one body part |
defo need less on the workouts mate.
There was absolutely no need to do biceps after that back workout. If you are going to biceps after that work out, you would only need 2 exercises and to do it as 3 x 8 to 10 and 2 x 8 to 10 The back workout itself is fine, although I would have done 4 sets on the barbell row and Tbar row |
thing is i only workout 4 days cant do weekends as have little ones
so do mon-tues-thrs-fri and do 2 muscle groups per day bar friday where its just legs |
Quote:
chest and biceps legs shoulders and triceps back |
yeah i think i will swap it around to
mon-chest /biceps tue-back thrs-shoulders/triceps fri-legs makes more sense really as back legs are biggest should have own day need to do legs on friday as do boxing tues and thrs nights so need to be able to stand for this lol anyway rest day today |
Legs on friday is best as you have the weekend to recover

I'll be honest mate, if I did that much, with enough intensity, it would take me out of the game for quite a long while and I've been training for a long time. I should add that all my training until last week was naturally, rather than with chemical help.
I would say the overriding factor would be your recovery time. As long as you get the most you can out of each workout and you recover in time for the next and you can do that consistently, then you are probably not overtraining. If you do half hearted workouts, just to get the sets and reps in and then you struggle to recover then I'd say reduce it a bit. In my experience overtraining isn't immediately obvious. You might not even notice it until you suddenly realise you haven't worked out at all or at the very least put in a good shift for a week or so. You might find yourself making (lame) excuses for missing gym time, just feel knackered and not realise or appreciate why you feel shagged and then it'll suddenly dawn on you that you might be overtraining! Only you can judge that. Good luck anyway, whatever you decide. |
cheers to be honest i go hard and if didnt do as much i maybe wouldnt feel done enough
recovery is good its seven days before i work that muscle group ive also over last year this is how i ave trained as shown by friend and i have seem masive masive difference in gains |
I know exactly what you mean. There's nothing worse than sitting there an hour later wishing you'd done a bit more. All I would add though is sometimes coming out of the gym feeling completely done in doesn't always necessarily translate into having worked the intended muscle properly.
And when you say you've done it for a year I presume you mean that and something similar, as in changing your routine occasionally. A brief spell of low reps, or high reps, a different order to the exercises or changing dumbbells for barbells and back again etc etc etc etc Anyway, apart from that you've answered your question . . . if you are still gaining, then you must be doing it right. Cheers |
i have changed it around ie with deffernt wieght also swaped round different excercises also differnt reps so hasnt been same for year
mean ive done as much as can and always done the chest/tri back/bi shoulders/forarms legs routeen i have also swaped days these have been done on so do change things around |

cheers i will cut bicepts down hear to learn
one thing will say first 2 are more like warm up sets so theres only one real working set per group this is something new i am giving a go sort of like this Take your 6 rep max for a particular exercise and base your percentages off this weight for the different sets. For the 10 rep set, use 50% of your 6RM weight. For the 8 rep set use 75% of your 6RM weight. For the 6 rep set use 100% of your 6RM weight. Then you would finish off with using 35% of you 6RM for the 15 reps set. |
