Cardio

[MacMatrix]

Im doing a five day split right now
Day 1 Chest and Back
Day 2 Legs
Day 3 Arms
Day 4 Rest
Day 5 Shoulders and Back
Day 6 Chest and Legs
Day 7 Rest

So my question is seeing as Im trying to get my Bulk on is it going to be counter- productive to do cardio and abs on day 4 & 7 ???
Also is this a dumb split?? ie should I just hit all groups once a week and be done???

Hello , is there anybody out there????

Doing cardio twice a week is not gonna hurt. Nothing wrong with your splits, I wouldn't do chest and back the same day, but try it and see what you think.

 

[MacMatrix]

Thx Seven. Yeah I cant figure out a better way to get it done. The program calls for the big three ( chest , back , legs ) to be done twice a week.

Chest,back,legs,chest,back,legs,rest repeat.After a week like that then see if you have room for cardio.The 6 days in a row should have your metabolism ramped up nicely.

push,pull,legs,push,pull,legs,rest.

Maybe Im stupid or to new to know, but isnt this leaving out shoulders and arms???

Shoulders and tri..do them after your big chest move,biceps ..do them simply after your big back movement.Do your abs with the rest of your lowerbody on leg day.This is how you focus on the big multi joint movemnts.

so like this
Day 1 chest /tri
Day 2 back
Day 3 leg / ab
Day 4 chest/ shoulder
Day 5 Back/ Bicep
Day 6 Leg / Ab
Day 7 rest or cardio ( for the old lady )

I should of mentioned the cardio is to keep the wife happy . She likes to jog in circles ( the track )/ lol

Would work but you have to be on point with your sleep,recovery and nutrition as you will burn out fast if your not.

You will be fine doing cardio on a bulk, even on your rest day. Save cardio till after youre done lifting, if you still have energy that is. Bump up your caloric intake if need be.

You can do a PPL program like you have. Ive done it and it works and easy to follow. Try to incorporate some weighted dips and weighted chin ups if you have that strength, you will blow up.

I had luck with a program like this. Sunday: chest(flat bench heavy)tris. Monday: legs(rack pulls, heavy squat). Wednesday: shoulders(do flat bench first 5sets of 8 light weight). Friday: back(deadlift and light squats at end 3sets of 8) the program is only 4 days a week but remember you grow when resting
