I Need To Know IF My Workout List IS Ok

Monday:Chest,Abs
Tuesday:Biceps,Forearms,Tricep,Abs
Wensday:Back
Thursday:Shoulder,Traps
Friday:Hamstring,Quadriceps,Butt,Calf


Is everything ok or where it is to be?

[swanso5]

if not going for a full body approach then change to this;

mon - lower in ordeer of quads, hams, butt, calves
tue - upper in order of back, chest, delts, bi's, tris
wed - off
thu - lower
fri - off
sat - upper
sun - off
* can do abs on 2 off days with cardio or when yuo want

for muscles to show you need to actaully build some and them strip some bodyfat off so you can see it

IDK THAT SOUNDS KINDA WIERD TO ME I DO WANT TO WORK EVERY THING IN MY BODY

[swanso5]

u still will here but allows for more recovery also which is when you grow

[tanner2007]

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

[swanso5]

wat don't you understand?

just because your not isolating certain muscles (i.e. bi's with curls) doesn't mean there not getting worked and this is where 80% of trainers go wrong...if they were doing the correct exercises (in bi's case rows and chin ups) properly, then they shouldn't need any further work...this is the same with tri's (benches, shoulder presses), forearms (rows, chins, deads and almost everything else), front delts (shoulder and bench presses) and abs (basic compound lifts)

Your Plan
Monday:Chest,Abs
Tuesday:Biceps,Forearms,Tricep,Abs
Wensday:Back
Thursday:Shoulder,Traps
Friday:Hamstring,Quadriceps,Butt,Calf

My Plan
mon - lower in order of quads, hams, butt, calves
tue - upper in order of back, chest, delts, bi's, tris
wed - off
thu - lower
fri - off
sat - upper
sun - off
* can do abs on 2 off days with cardio or when yuo want

the same are trained in my plan than your except that they get trained twice a week instead of 1...you can't tell me your abs and forearms need 7 days rest

from what everyone tell me do like legs one dayy then chest then back but u are telling me to do upper bod rest then lower bod are you sure aobut that

You need to take Wed off. Even though you are training different body parts you are not giving the nervous sytstem a rest.

[swanso5]

there is conflicting info out there but really you need to try the different options and find out what works for YOU... if you've tried doing 1 muscle a day and it hasn't worked ten try the 2 muscles a day or the fulkl body approach...play around with things as different people will respond to different programs

I agree with alot of the points being made especially matters coupled with the importance of rest. This of course is critical for growth and recovery. However, if the 'flex' or definition look is what you are after there are two other things you need to analyse (besides the correct exercises). These include your diet and bodyfat percentage. Less bodyfat equals more definition and emphasises the notion of 'flex'. Therefore start cuttin carbs and stocking up on cottage cheese!
