Workout routine?

[GainzOverEverything]

Any suggestions or thoughts on my workout routine?
Day 1:Chest 16 exercises Triceps 8-10 exercises
Day 2: Legs 16 exercises
Day 3: Back 16 exercises Biceps 8-10 exercises
Core exercises 30minutes
Day 4: Shoulders 16 exercises
Day 5: Light cardio (run a mile)
Day 6: Light cardio (run a mile)
Day 1: repeat Chest and triceps
I typically do 8-16 reps on each exercise and rest about 60-90 seconds in between sets.
What are yall opinions on this, should I be giving 2 days rest between shoulders and chest?

I think without knowing the exercises and goals I can't say much.

But if your goal is size, first step is cut that rest time down

I assuming by "exercises", you mean sets...

You're doing the same amount of work for each of your chest and shoulders, as your are for your legs...that's not right.

What are your goals?

So I need to do more for the legs?
And goal is to put on mass.

If your goal is mass, then shorten those rest periods to 30-45 seconds, and train for the pump. Work on really feeling the muscles working.

And yes, you should be doing more work for your legs than you do for any upper body area (unless you're trying to bring up a lagging body part)

Thanks, I shortened my rest period yesterday on chest and tri, wasn't able to lift as heavy toward the end of the workout, but definitely felt like a good workout.
what is your opinion on how many reps per set for building mass?
I shoot for 8-12 reps till failure

For upper body I like 6 - 10 rep range on heavy sets. If I cant get 6 the weight is too heavy and I will reduce for next time, if I can get 10 I will increase the weight for next workout.

For legs I prefer higher rep range but same idea as above

You may need to experiment and find what works best for you

Agreed. My legs don't grow on less than 12 reps per set, and 20 is better. They get strong as fuck if I lift heavy and low rep though.

Triceps for me grow extremely well on heavy, low rep and not on high rep..

Play around over a 6 month to 1 year period and see what gives you the best results - everything else staying the same (sleep, nutrition, gear, etc)

Saturday: Chest/Triceps/abs
Sunday: Back/Biceps/Forearms
Monday: OFF
Tuesday: Shoulders/Legs
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: Focusing on back/chest and shoulders.


Small muscles: 90 reps per week (3 exercise for each of them 8-10-12)
Big muscles : 120 reps per week (4 exercise .. 8-10-12)


I don't mess with carbs in off days but I do a one hour of hitting a heavy bag very fast which is considered to be a cardio.
