Calves can be done whenever you want. I do them every other day in school PE. Abs can be done whenever. It’s very versatile.

The routine prioritizes the bodyparts that I need the most different exercises to train. It’s working really well this way. I also think back and shoulders just look badass.

You can add a second leg day on Tuesday if you can fully recover by then.[/quote]

i think thats just the ticket, i think i’ll adopt somthing similar to this.

Ok, here’s mine, it is based over a two week period. On week one, it is a 4 day training week, on week two it is a 5 day training week, I was hitting each bodypart twice a week, for about 6 months, It started to catch up to me, I have found this works so much better for recovery.

Week 1:

Monday: Legs, shoulders, abs
Tuesday: Back, biceps, forearms
Wednesday: Chest, triceps, abs
Thursay: Legs, shoulders, abs
Friday: off
Saturday: off
Sunday: off

Week 2:

Moday: Back, biceps, forearms
Tuesday: Chest, triceps, abs
Wednesday: Legs, shoulders, abs
Thursday: Back, biceps,forearms
Friday: Chest, triceps, abs

Then start week one on monday again…I like this cause i always felt weak just working one bodypart a week. But it was too much volume doing it twice, so i found something that works, and during the week i work one bodypart, i consider it a heavy day for that particular bodypart, maybe like a 5x5, then one the week i train a bodypart twice, it will be somewhat less weight, but alot more reps…

Hmm, didn’t I do that for a few years myself… :wink:

I train fri, sat, sun, weds because of work so my splits tend to look a bit funny-I also have non-bodybuilding aims mainly.
It currently looks something like this;
Fri
back
bis (sometimes!)

sat
front squats
back squats (higher reps)
calves (sometimes!)

sun
chest, shoulders

weds
squat (heavy or dynamic)
dead or variation

I am also hitting close grip bench every session at various intensities at the minute as a bit of an experiment.

I tinker a fair bit but the basics remain the same- there are some exercises that I work hard on regularly.

38

Monday - Legs
Tuesday - Chest & Biceps
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Back & Abs
Friday - Shoulders & Triceps

I generally work a 2-week rotation, alternating between high reps and low reps.
