[time4change11]

Alright so pretty much i Just want to make sure i have a decent spread and if this will work...
general idea:
Monday- Chest
Tuesday-Arms(bis&tris)
Wednesday-Back
Thursday-legs
Friday-shoulders
Saturday- abs and cardio. some bis tris chest.

Just want to know if i stay with this spread and strict diet i will gain... im not sure if i should work out bis more than once a week or any muscle in general more than once a week.. any suggestions are welcome .. thanks alot guys, Sam

In my opinion, that split sucks. On chest day, you are obviously using triceps as well (monday). Then on Tuesday you directly work triceps and biceps. Followed by back day on Wednesday which also works biceps as a secondary.

Instead of giving arms their own day, you might want to do chest/triceps, back/biceps. Also not really any point in giving abs their own day.

Something very basic like this usually works well. Hit them hard and give them the rest they need to recover.

Monday - Shoulders/Abs
Tuesday - Back/Bi
Wed - Rest
Thursday - Legs/Abs
Friday - Chest/Tri
Sat - Rest
Sun - Rest

thats a terrible split. the guy above broke down why.

personally i do...

chest/arms
back/shoulders/traps
legs

spreading it out so much is just going to reduce you to very short workouts, somewhat pointless and sloppy.


you can work out muscle groups more than once per week. my 3 day split takes place over the course of 5 days. so i will hit the gym 4-5 times per week, meaning that at least one of my workout days will be repeated per week. don't pick your favorite muscle groups and work them more than the others (biceps). if anything needs to be worked more often, it'll be your abs, forearms, and calves.

That split isnt bad. Just make sure you have one day in between back and bis and chest and tris.

You could do

Mon - chest, tues - back, wed- legs thurs- arms, fri- shoulders and abs and have two rest days on weekends or between 3 day splits.

For 6 day split I do:

Chest/tris
Legs (Heavy)
Rest
Back/Bis
Legs/Shoulders
Rest
(Rest if you want a 7 day same workout everyday routine)

My workouts have high volume though, no issues with gains
