How old are you? What does the set and rep scheme look like each day?

[D-Guy]

why don't you spread out the workouts and put some of your off days between workout days?

i'm bulking right now so the recovery shouldn't be a problem. For chest, I do about 12 sets, triceps, about 8, and shoulders about 8

back, total, i do 20 sets, biceps i do 8 sets

legs, total I do 16 sets

I'm 16, just turned 3 months ago

You are working each muscle in the upper body twice so you may want to use one day for strength (lower reps, less sets, heavier weight) and the other for hypertrophy (more reps, more sets, lighter weight).

Yes. At your age you SHOULD have a pretty fast recovery rate. Just pay attention to how you are feeling from day to day. If you are starting to get more sore or more tired than usual then that could be an indication to back off a little.

I suggest you make 3 day/week split. Like chest + back, legs + shoulders, lower back + arms.

With youre program youll overwork your self pretty fast no matter what is youre recovery speed. In other words, after a month or two youll be dead if you work GOOD with this program.

Finding an appropriate training routine is all about trial and error. He seems to want to do it this way so let him.

He wouldnt make this topic if hadnt had any doubts about it. Why waste time if its possible to use it better? Of course it is his descision.

True.

Why waste time if its possible to use it better?

He is the only one who can determine what is best for himself.

[raymondh]

many of you are doing only one muscle in one week (chest once a week, back once a week, etc..) now from my previous experience, my chest does take longer to recover, so an alternate option would be

Monday CHEST

Tuesday Biceps

wednesday: Legs

Thursday Shoulders Triceps

Friday: Back

Weekend: OFF

keep in mind that i do not have access to a gym on weekends, and I like to have leg for it's own day.

[Arasah]

I suggest you transfer your biceps to chest day. Because having a wholeday just for them is sencless and waste of time.
