For a while now I've been doing one muscle group per day. i.e. Monday chest, tuesday back, wensday legs, thursday shoulders, friday arms. But I want a change. I have doubled up in the past Chest and tri, back and bi.
Now my question. I want a change, but I still want to be able to go heavy on all parts. I don't want my chest routine to screw up my tri routine. Any one got any ideas. And if I go back to the old faithful, what do I do on the day that I do shoulders. Do I leave legs on one day by there self ?!?

There are a WHOLE bunch of ideas you can do, it depends on what you'd prefer.

My first thought would be either an upper body/lower body split - 2 session alternating every other day focussing on the compound lifts.

The second idea would be a push/pull/leg split (you could just do a push/pull split and incorporate the legs into that like I am currently doing as my routine).

These would be the preferrred methods as they would focus on purely compound movements (split into the relevant sessions):

ie - Squat, Deadlift (alternate with SLDL), Bench, Military press, chins, BB row, dips (or close grip bench press). And maybe add some BB curl, calf raises, upright rowing, forearm work and ab work in there too.

IF you are going to carry on doing a split routine. The one I had the most success with as it allowed me to have optimum recovery between muscles is this one:

Mon - Chest & Back
Weds - Choulders and arms
Fri - Legs

Worked well for me. However, I'd definately sway to one of the other 2 sessions.

If you would like me to do you an actual routine (exercises, sets, etc) based on one of these, or another one if you have any thoughts of your own. I'd be more than happy to. Hope this gave you some ideas!

Hi BABYFACE
Monday chest, tuesday back, wensday legs, thursday shoulders, friday arms

A nice routine. I am not sure why you want to change. If you provide details of this then people will be-able to program better to your needs. Usually all routines have a theory for why they are done a certain way.

I am happy with the results that I am seeing with my current routine. I don't want anyone to take that wrong. I just feel (could be wrong here) that sometimes you have to change things up to push yourself farther. I have gained good weight and size with this routine. Combined with a strict diet and other goodies........ Like I said. I just want a change for a while. Is this a fu*k up, or do I simply need to take a week off.... You know do some cardio (lol) Nevermind. Let's not get crazy here. How about some old school moves that no one uses anymore that are effective and work well. Maybe just adding new exercises will be all that I need.
