Day 1-chest and back
bench press 5x5
cable pull downs 5x5
peck fly-5x5
rows 5x5

day 2-Arms and shoulders
BB shoulder press 5x5
DB curls 3x8
tri ext 3x8
front db raise 3x8
hammer curls 3x8
cable tri ext 3x8

Day 3-legs and back
Squats 5x5
leg curls 3x8
deadlift 5x5
calf raise 3x8
one leg cable kickback 3x8

I could be wrong, but I think it will be hard to get arms and shoulders in on one day. I don't think a shoulder press is enough to take care of your delts. A lot of people at my gym neglect their shoulders. They look retarded having this mass of muscle (triceps) hanging from this fleshy looking knob they call a shoulder.

Just my opinion.

[Camaron2er]

i also have front shoulder raises on the list for delt work

[cokewithvanilla]

didn't see that. what about your rear delts? I am also a fan of dips, or some other heavy tricep exercise. no need for two tricep extensions

personally, I think that it's hard to get arms done with just a few isolation exercises - but that's just me.

out of curiosity, what was your old plan?

as stated i was on the bill starr plan.

split ur legs/back day prob. U wont increase as much by doing squats and deadlifts the same day. also i personally would drop tri ext and replace with dips/weighted dips. this is a personal preference but i think its a better workout.

switch rows with deadlifts, add pull-ups (palm of hands facing away from body) on the second back day. also as i mentioned above personal pref to do dips vs tri ext. otherwise good rep counts and not a bad split. I prob would add a fourth day (if u had the time and go to exhaustion but thats just me)

unfortunatly i do not have time for a fourth day. but thanks for the input

[Camaron2er]

anyone else have an opinion?

[cokewithvanilla]

Nope, not me lol. I failed to read much information the first time, I bet there is more hiding that I cannot see. I refuse to make a fool of myself again

What about adding a 4th day into your 3 day-per-week rotation? In other words M W F M.
I do this and use the Friday workout every week as my power day. Still hits everything every 4 or 5 days.

Sigh.

On a 4 day rotation you still only work out 3 days a week.

For example:

Tuesday: Day one
Thursday: Day two
Saturday: Day three
Tuesday: Day four
Thursday: Day one
Saturday: Day two
Tuesday: Day three
Thursday: Day four
and so on and so on....
