Is this a good routine ...?

That70sShowDude · Post by **That70sShowDude** » Sun May 31, 2009 6:25 pm

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

edit: now muscle milk after anything except running

Do the first routine, but do Abs after Legs.

Keep your Cardio to 30 minutes, and do it on the non-weight days. Something like Interval work will suffice.

Don't train 5 days straight. I reccomend you do 3 on, 1 off, 2 on 1 off, so you're not doing 2 days of nothing at the end of the week.

Keep your set breaks between 60-90 seconds.

Also have the MM after Leg days too. Why promote increased rates of growth in some parts of your body and not others?

should add some shoulder exercises in there as well

Good spot, though some work can be acheived from certain Back and Chest exercises, but more Shoulder work would be needed.

ok, well, i just started in the gym because our high school fitness year just ended (team 1st in nation ... i was 3rd individually in nation), so im not sure what all of the machines and stuff work or do, but ill try to explain each thing as best as i can, i went to the gym last year, but didnt do too much

legs/abs ... squats, heel raisers involved in the squats, like 7min 30sec total time of situps (because this is about all we did in fitness practices and i got results from it), crunches w/ weight, 5 diff variations of leg raise things that dont involve weight (planks, bicycle, other stuff), 1 leg raise thing in the gym that you hold yourself up while you do it

chest/tri ... 10, 65, 33, 33, 17, 17, 17, 17 good pushups, benching, incline press (i think its called this, push weight up towards sky while sitting), sort of like dumbell flies but its on a machine (hard to explain), tricep extensions with cable, tricep extensions i guess with different machine, dips

back/bi ... 30lb vest doing 20 deadhang pull ups, then w/o the vest - 10, ~32, ~27, 20 commands, 10 closegrips, dumbbell curls, a machine where you push your arms up on your sides (i have no idea what this even works so i just do it on this day), full bar curls, seated row, lat pulldown

all with running mixed in, long distance and sprints

so if you can understand any of that, good luck, i hope i didnt miss anything
