DAY3: REST
DAY4: CHEST/TRI

-----------------------------------------------

I'm pretty lost...just feel like my shoulders arent progressing the way i'd like them to...so maybe a bi/shoulder day would provide them with more focus?

Am I over-working chest?

Tear apart my split please! I know it isnt perfect and I am more than willing to take well thought out advise. This split has been working well for me, but I know I could find better!

Thanks!

You need to do legs. It doesn't matter if you cycle or not, you need to do dead lifts and squats at least a little bit 1x per week. Those exercises do more for your core and upper body than the upper body exercises do.

Neglecting a bodypart in your lifting routine is a very bad idea, as you will have a weak link, and can actually increase chances of injury.


In fact lunges and things like single leg squats are very important for your sport.

As far as your routine goes, it's terrible. You need to follow one of the forum's stickies routines at first. Read the stickies, especially the thread about critique towards splits/routines.

I have read the stickies...and have found most of these routines far too bland/beginner oriented.

Haven't managed to find any splits there that I like.
