Is my workout routine 'okay'?

[finlayed]

Hi,
I'm 18 years old and have been going to the gym for around 2 months now. I've made progress however I'm not sure if my workout routine is okay... I read that the higher the frequency I work for a muscle group then the better so I am doing :

Monday - Chest + arms
Tuesday - Shoulders + back
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - rest day
Friday - Chest + arms
Saturday - Shoulders and back
Sunday - Legs

(each gym session is around 1h15mins/1h30mins)
Is this okay and if not what should I change?

You would be much better doing full body 3 days a week quite honestly.

Assuming your squat bench and deadlift are below intermediate numbers.

In general, agree with above - although you only listed body parts and no detail on your actual routine so hard to give feedback anyway.

Also would not want to do biceps the day before back or front delts the day after chest twice/week personally, but can be ok depending on how you allocate volume - but from your workout length it sounds like a lot.

You didn't actually give any information on what your routine consists of.

In terms of the split, it looks alright. At least you've got two leg days, that's a lot better than most of the people who post these sorts of threads

Monday - Chest + arms + shoulders + back + legs
Tuesday - rest day
Wednesday - Chest + arms + shoulders + back + legs
Thursday - rest day
Friday - Chest + arms + shoulders + back + legs
Saturday - rest day
Sunday - rest day

Monday - Chest + arms + shoulders + back + legs
Tuesday - rest day
Wednesday - Chest + arms + shoulders + back + legs
Thursday - rest day
Friday - Chest + arms + shoulders + back + legs
Saturday - rest day
Sunday - rest day

It doesn't get better than this.

I like TolerantLactorse split recommendation-- TOTAL BODY! You light up all bodyparts that support all the big lifts

BUT if you really do prefer to train more often, I recommend this bodysplit:

Mon: Upperbody
Tues: Legs/Abs
Wed: Rest
Thurs: Upperbody
Fri: Legs/Abs
Sat: Rest
Sun: REPEAT Cycle you can do Upperbody here again & Mon Legs/Abs so on.

You still get enough rest between various muscle groups to allow recovery at the same time stimulate muscle breakdown/muscle synthesis multiple times during the wk. Challenge yourself with 10-12 sets but don't go balls to the wall with each and every session. And finally of course, your nutrition and sleep needs to be up to par as well to handle consistent workouts

I think he should do full body for at least a year, maybe even as far as two years. It will give him the fastest gains
