3 Day Split

Wednesday, July 09, 2008 7:45 AM
( #1 )
I want to change things up a bit, so I was thinking of doing this Monday: Chest/Tri Flat bench Flat bench flys Incline bench Incline bench flys Decline bench Decline bench flys Close grip bench Cable tricep extensions Wednesday: Back/Bi Barbell curl Concentration Curls Wide grip pulldowns Cable rows (stomach/chest) Dumbbell bent over row Deadlifts Wide grip pullups Thursday: Shoulders/Legs Squats Calve raises Lunges Seated shoulder press Rear lateral deltoid row Lateral raises Upright rows Let me know what you think! On tuesdays and fridays I do CrossFit.

The split looks good. It looks like wayy too much on chest/tri day. You only really need 1 flying movement. Tricep workout looks fine. Put your back workout first, starting with the biggest workout, deadlift, and getting smaller from there. Bicep isos go last. You don't need upright rows AND lateral raises, so you can take out one of those. Upright rows bother some people's shoulder, so be careful with that.

agreed to much for chest IMO. all you need is flatbench, incline bench, (possibly decline bench if you really think you need it)... but instead of decline bench i would do some heavy dip leaning forward just a bit and that will work the lower pectoralis area as well as hit your triceps hard. then you can do a set of fly's (only 1 set is needed) and then throw in some skullcrushers and call it a day.

also.. i would start back/bicep day with your heavy back exercises first. meaning.. do deadlifts first, then pullups, then rows, and then all your bicep work. (no need for pulldowns if you do a couple of sets of pullups IMO. ok.. i think i've covered everything now. goodluck

I've realized that some people like doing pulldowns and pullups, even though I feel that both aren't necessary, so I didn't make the comment. I agree with fox about the pullups though.

Thanks for the comments. I was just listing the exercises that i planned on doing, not necessarily in that order. As far as the flys, which one is the best to do? I saw that Milos Sarcev does them all for his chest workouts.

you could switch between flatbench and incline bench flyes occasionally. both are beneficial. i myself NEVER do flyes anymore, and my chest is decent IMO.

if u are going to do flyes make sure u really contract and flex ur peck muscles throughout the whole range of motion
Current: 19, 5'11", 190@7% bench:305 squat:370(atg) deadlift:475 Goals: 4plate squat, 5plate dead "obsessed is a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated"
