Members training schedules

[b-real]

Just curious...what are your current routines in the gym? Im changing up my routine once again and Im looking for something I havnt done yet. So list what days for each muscle group and typical exercises. I think this will benefit some newbies fresh into the training and give examples to the vets for muscle confusion. Thanx bros!

Routines are routine. I don't do it. I work what feels like would be the best muscles to work that day based on the last time I did them and vary the exercises constantly as well. I can't do the note pad and a pen thing anymore. It turns something I love into a job and plateaus were always reached too fast that way too. Of course there are certain exercises that are done every week such as squats and deadlifts but....

been doing this for a couple months now. like how i can go big for two days, give the bod a rest, and so on and so forth...
and every workout i do different exercises to always keep the muscle guessing.

day 1 - chest, bi, abs, forearms
day 2 - back, tri, calves, abs, forearms
day 3 - off
day 4 - traps, shoulders, hamstrings, abs, forearms
day 5 - calves, quads, abs, forearms
day 6 - off
day 7 - repeat routine

I kinda agree with break right now I am 3 on and 1 off. When I do arms I usally always follow my next day with back or chest since my arms need most work, and at the end of back day I do 3-5 SETS high reps of one bicep excersize if its chest the same but a tri excercise. not compound movement isolated. then I usally go legs the next workout always sqauts no matter what thats bread and butter. By that time I usally healed up top pretty good. Next workout is delts so either my front or rears will benifet from what I did closest to that week chest or back some what of a routine but not really. No matter what everytime I work a body part that week it's never same excerise from the week before On the 22nd of DEC I pulled a groin so its been about 3 weeks since I worked legs. will probably do them end of this week very light, high reps. GOT TO TELL VERY PAINFUL IT FELT LIKE MY NUTS WERE TIED UP AROUN MY EARS

I take rest days when I need them and more than one in a row if necessary. This is my normal but I mix up the order of exercises and the actual exercises too (thanks to the SW guy's suggestions):

Day 1:CHest/Abs
Day 2:Back
Day 3:Legs
Day 4:SHoulders/Abs
Day 5:Arms

I follow this pretty close and at 47 yrs old this is plenty for me. Ive also found that the stronger i get the less volume i need.Of course everyone is different in recovery and our goals

I am like CD I take rest days a couple whenever I feel tired and stop gaining. I am getting over a couple of injuries, elbows, shoulder so I train one day and off the other. Chest/Tri Rest Legs Rest Back/Bi Rest Shoulder Rest then start again....Works for me and I am not overtraining.
