I have 5 days I can go to the gym, best type of routine?

[ShammyHam]

As title says, only got 5 days to go the gym, what kind of routine should I do?

I was thinking

Monday - Chest,Tri's
Tues - Back, Bi's, Shoulders
Wed - Leg
Thurs - Chest, Tri's
Fri - Back, Bi's, Shoulders

Reason I can go 5 days is I do swimming on sunday and since I use my legs a lot I really don't feel the need to do legs 2x a week.

Idk, just my idea, what should I do?

[HypoLiize]

I am assuming you are able to go 5 days per week.

If so use this format:
Monday: Biceps, Calves, Shoulders Triceps
Tuesday: Back, Chest, Hamstring, Quads, Traps
Thursday: Biceps, Calves, Shoulders Triceps
Friday: Back, Chest, Hamstring, Quads, Traps

This routine makes no sense. Why would you hit bi's before a back day and hit shouders and tris before a chest day. Your probably not hitting legs enough by just swimming btw. 5 day split http://www.simplyshredded.com/mega-f...ated-2011.html

[NicholasMango]

do this....

This is the routine

Day 1: Upper Body Power
Day 2: Lower Body Power
Day 3: Rest
Day 4: Back and Shoulders Hypertrophy
Day 5: Lower Body Hypertrophy
Day 6: Chest and Arms Hypertrophy
Day 7: Rest

Can I take away the day 3 rest and bump the other days up so I can fit it into 5 days? I only have access to the gym on monday-friday (Workout at school)

use the one I gave you. Its a 5 day routine with weekends off. Its perfect for you.

You CANNOT alter the routine you posted there int he way that you want to. The rest days are extremely important.

When I started lifting I didn't exactly like that routine because I didnt think there was enough exercises to hit different muscles from different angles. Im not a beginner, I just want to change up my routine. So I don't know if I still would like to go with this routine.

don't go with a routine with 'power' and 'hypertrophy' days. use an upper lower. it has 2x a week frequency, enough volume if made properly (like lyle's), and you won't be wasting time doing endless redundant sets like on a bro split.

nice weight and bf at 6'1. You're not gonna make it

in that case maybe upper, lower, push, pull, legs, off, off

[xbodybuilder]

I don't work on back after leg day since leg day consist of your back.
I don't work on triceps and then chest the next day since when you hit your chest you're hitting your triceps in most exercises.

I'd suggest this format which I'm doing. You can switch things up though.

Monday: All lower body, quads/hamstrings/calves/gluts inlcude squat
Tuesday: Chest/Triceps/Biceps include bench
Wednesday: Back/Shoulders include deadlift
Thursday: Chest/Tricep/Biceps include bench
Friday: Legs/Shoulders include squat

For shoulder day, I suggest military press during shoulder day.

You're hitting shoulders 2x a week, including every muscle besides back if that's fine. and trust me you should hit legs 2x a week works your back too. My bench went up by 50 pounds within 2 months ever since I got serious into squatting. Seriously.

Back I work once a week because deadlifts 2x a week is a killer and when I work on back I have to do deadlifts or to me it doesn't feel right, and it does use your legs too so pretty much you're hitting legs sort of 3x a week.

Lmao you don't need different exercises to hit muscles from different angles unless you are a top ten npc or ifbb competitor


Just stick to the basics for ****s sake
