How does this routine sound?

[BigJB]

This is a routine I've been doing for a couple of months and wanted to run it by everyone. I haven't seen a split quite like this but similar to others.

Monday - Triceps, Chest, and Quads

Wednesday - Biceps, Back, and Hamstrings

Friday - Traps, Shoulders, and Calves

I do 2 isolation exercises for warm up followed by 3 heavy compound exercise work sets for each body part with DC's extreme stretching after each body part. My rep range is from 6 to 10. I do cardio Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Just wanted some opinions. Thanks

i dont think one split is necessarily superior to another so im going to say it looks fine, just keep plugging away at it.

depends what your goals are but for me i could never do tri's chest along with quads,
when i hit the legs i have no room for anyother bodyparts if i did them hard,but everone is different maybe it works for you.

The only reason

I can do quads with chest and tris is because of the extremely low volume. I just go as heavy as i can for my work sets and that usually makes up for the lack of volume. I also do jiu jitsu and thai boxing along with my weights so i cant go high on the volume even if i wanted to.

sounds good,its probaly different for everyone i know ive tried lots of things before finding out what works for me.
have you always done low volume? what have been the results for you?

I do a similar program.
Mon - Chest, Triceps & Calves
Wed - Back, Biceps & Hammies
Fri - Shoulders, Traps & Quads

I do 1/2 weight warm-up set of 6-8 reps and then 4 sets of compound followed by 2 sets of iso for each bodypart. Best growth program for me.
Everyone is different - find what works for you and stick with it.

great for me. The low volume high weight, high intensity routine allows for the most possible recovery time. When my diet is on i can usually see pretty steady gains.

Looks like a long time in the gym...How do you have any atp left or glycogen to train large muscles together?

about 45 minutes per session. 15 total sets with about a minute between them, 2 minute between body parts to do the stretches. I drink a large pre workout shake an hour or so before i lift and drink one immediately after. 60 grams of protein and about 100 simple carbs. For me it seems to work pretty well, 2 hours and fifteen minutes a week lifting and 165 hours and 45 minutes for recovery.
