Is this a good routine ...?

Post by That70sShowDude »

day 1 - abs, legs
day 2 - chest, triceps
day 3 - back, biceps

or

day 1 - abs, legs
day 2 - chest triceps, back, biceps

running is mixed in with all that stuff

i just dont know if the 1st one is good because it seems like theres a long time between doing pullups (example)

also drink muscle milk after working anything but abs, legs, or running

thanks for any help

Dude please don't post stuff twice. I just replied to this elsewhere, and response is almost totally different to this one.

muscle millk After working out! ANY PROTEIN BUT THAT ONE PLEASE!.. Have you seen the fat content on that?? main point is to get the amino acids and leucine in to your bloodstreams as fast as possible, for faster better recovery.. Muscle milk is gonna slow the digestion process down!..

look for protein that is lean! maybe with carbs is fine but definately not high in fat..im pretty sure muscle milk is atleast 12grams in fat from the container and thats 1 serving

I like the second option, upper body one day followed by lower body. You could train something like this:

Monday: upper
Tues: Lower

Thurs: upper
Fri: lower

I've also done 3 day splits like the one you mentioned but I think a little more frequency is better.
