Workout critique

[i_hulk]

I'm not sure where I picked up this workout routine but I'd like some input if it is ok to use or crap. Here goes.

Monday - chest
Tuesday - biceps
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - triceps
Friday - shoulders
Saturday - traps
Sunday - lats and back

Max time each day doing the lifting is 15-20 min after warming up and stretching. Each day that muscle is hit heavy and hard. Like I said, I'm not even sure where I picked it up at. It does work for me but would like to know if I should change for max results. Thanks

LMFAO!

Day one through seven: workout

Does that look good?

Wow.. I'm actually shocked. I have one of the most if not the most respected bb'ers on the PM board to say looks ok and actually interesting.
I'd be inclined to know where I got it from. I first used it 7 years ago, the last time I actually put dedication to working out more than 2 weeks. Fortunately I have decent genetics that I keep just about everything even though I quit for whatever reason for a few years.

 

[i_hulk]

no days off ?

Nope. Some weeks I'll put delts and traps together and have a day off. Each muscle is getting hit once per week directly and hard.

You train your entire legs once a week in 15-20 minutes?

I guess that's another area that's pretty easy for me. I'm 5'5" (maybe shorter after back surgery... never measured) with short freakin legs and always had sprinter legs. No matter if I didn't work them out in 5 years or more, they stayed the same.

 

[i_hulk]

I have to note that I am not a competing bb'er nor plan to. That may make a difference in responses. I just stated my height of 5'5" and weigh 190lbs at the moment. Currently bulking up.

 

[PHIL HERNON]

HAhahaha

I will explain........
1. At first glance it looks........odd
2. A day off? What necessitates a day off? Just to take one? Just because? If I never over train do I need a day off?
3. Each bodypart is hit 2 times weekly except for legs.......my shoulders and triceps are trained while doing chest ( compound movements like bench presses) ........biceps/rear delts while training back, etc.......
4. Progressive resistance is key.........keep getting stronger is the key.
5. 20-30 minutes a day?? How great is that........nice routine to start off with, go for it.

DO a routine for YOUR needs.........Paul Demayo trained legs ONCE A MONTH....

Thank you sir Phil. Thanks for detailing the explanation in a way that I didn't look at it. I definitely like the 20-30 minutes a day. When I'm done, I have that quick shaking in my body where you can see it if I hold my hands out. I feel like the muscle is hit hard but not too hard as to over train. The weight is progressively moved up.

I know a guy who has trained this way for years he's all natural, and bigger than most, his reasoning behind it is that he needs to train every day, for stress, and the fact that he feels like he's sort of a gym addict, also he just loves it, after each session he does 20-40 mins cardio. He probably has different goals he doesn't want to be huge, but training every day for ten years has its pay offs, he's an accountant and he feels he needs it probably cos his job is mundane, every 2/3 months he goes on holiday for 1-2 weeks for complete rest.

Basically he does what works for him and his life, and he looks fine on it too

My tris hurt way too much after I blast them to be able to hit shoulders hard the next day, etc. If this is not a problem for you then there is no reason why this would not work. I just would need to train a heck of a lot easier or as I do now with days off and splitting body parts apart so they recoup before the next session they get hit on. Also driving to the gym everyday would not be much fun for me.

Legs in 20-30 minutes, could not do that either. Good luck bro

 

[PHIL HERNON]

Oh sure

Not everyone could do this routine........it takes someone with a hardcore attitude to pound legs HEAVY AND HARD for 20-30 minutes non stop.....genetics help also......some have it and some dont, not everyone can be a top BBer.

I see his reasoning behind it and glad it works for him. Like you said, it's what works for each individual I guess.

I guess that's why some days I could just about vomit.
That's the time I may skip a day and join 2 is day after tris. I will skip friday (go to high school football friday nights) and do shoulders saturday with traps

I tend to think I have decent genetics but waste it which is a shame. I'm not patting myself on the back in any way.... I'm far from the that type of person. I find I'm more disrespecting than deserving.

But only the small bodyparts like biceps, triceps and shoulders are traind 2 time weekly.
With chest, Lats etc. there is no overlapping. So they are traind only once ... or am I wrong
