Can this routing work for me

olingerjccj · 05-03-2005, 09:22 PM

Basically I have Sunday, Monday and Tuesday to work out. I can sometimes get another 1 or 2 workouts in during the week sometimes. Here is what I do, To be honest I kinda wing it on my routines Sunday Chest/Shoulders, Monday Legs/back and Monday arms all. I like to get 10 mins cardio before I start a set. I like to get 3x10 or 12 on like 4 different machines or free weight excerises for each muscle group. The one thing I hear is the dead lift rocks , which I dont really do yet. I have been doing this for like 3 months I feel stronger and have a bit more mass but will this work for me with limited rest in-between days. and I take l-glutamine powder w/milk Im all out now so im not sure if there is a better one looking into that and creatine monohydrate powder. so let me know what you all think
Thanks for the input

Well first off what are you goals? Fat reduction or mass gain? If your looking to gain mass I wouldn't worry to much about the glutamine you should be getting enough if your eating enough protein. I'd go with the creatine over it if I had to choose. I also would switch up your pairings and put chest/back together and legs/shoulders. Back and legs are the 2 most draining (or should be if your hitting them correctly) and one or the other would be suffering depending on the order you did them. Also with chest your already using your shoulders to a large degree so doing them both on the same day is counter productive IMHO. It's too bad your workout days are all grouped together but you make due with what you have. Squats and Deads are the 2 best size builders so try to fit them in. You might want to experiment with your rep range also. Some people do respond to the higher 10-12 rep range but many others show greater growth with a lower 5-8 rep range. Try a month of both and see which gives you the advantage.

I agree with Falcon.. when you drop your rep count down to the 5-8 range.. I would be lifting heavier than when you are in the 10-12 rep range... also you might up your cardio to about 20 minutes before your work out.. and eventually getting up to about 30-45 minutes.. the cardio will help with any possible fat loss.. and it will up your metabolism, and is good for your overall health...
