Here we go now, some pics.

Sorry for the only muscle pic, i will update with a full DF bicep pose.

I've been really busy lately.

MaKaVeLi · 02-08-2006, 08:30 PM

so this really your split??

Mon: Quads, Hamstrings
Wed: Calves, Abs
Fri: Chest, bis, tris

Although I appluad you for at least doing your legs, is there a reason you don't do shoulders or back? Coz seriously you're headed for some serious mis-proportions by not doing these two large muscle groups. Also is there also another reason (like time constraints) why you can't do your legs and abs all in one session?

hypocrisy86 · 02-08-2006, 09:11 PM

Well for one, i have bad joint problems.
Sorry if im acting egotistic, i just dont like the problems i have..

My back, aches alot when i do direct back workouts etc bent/standing rows,lat pull downs.
But since alot of people are starting to convince me, i will take your comment into serious consideration, and i thank you for your comment, :).
And i wanted to comment that this is the best BB forum ever.

MaKaVeLi · 02-08-2006, 09:42 PM

well it is understandable that you're staying away from certain exercises if they cause you aches...you probably should get it checked out though so you can at least start doing back and shoulders, otherwise those problems may not recover by themselves and you'll end up lookin a bit odd, if I come off as an ass i'm sorry I'm just tryna give some advice....anywayz good luck with your training

Thanks man, :). my Adult physician is alos a Sport Psychiatrist.

Maka is right, you should try to do some back work, it's dangerous when all your other lifts go up and don't have a strong back to keep up with the force worked on your body.

I agree now, especially when doing the chest workouts..
Well i designed a new routine, see if this is decent enough.

Monday:
Leg press 5 sets 12 320lbs
Machine squat 80lbs 5 sets 12
Calve sits 50lbs 5 sets 12
Calve stands 330lbs 5 sets 12

Wednesday:
Bent over rows 5 sets 12
Laying rows 5 sets 12
Ab rope crunches 125lbs 5 sets 12
Ab decline plate crunch 5 sets 12

Friday:
Smith chest press 60lbs 5 sets 12
Smith decline 55lbs 5 sets 12
BB curls 40lbs 5 sets 12
Alt curls 20lbs 5 sets 12
Tri extensions 65lbs 5 sets 12

And at home tris extra and shoulders.

jornT · 02-09-2006, 04:19 AM

Much better for sure. Don't do the decline press though. It's absolutly not nessecery. Do flat instead. You do 12 reps at each excersize? Diffrent type of fibers respond to diffrent rep range, so working in diffrent rep ranges results in growth in more fibers.

Sorry I had to say this. Dude, you fully look like frankenstein in that second photo.

MaKaVeLi · 02-09-2006, 04:46 AM

that is a slightly better split but you should consider one of these:

Monday: Chest, bis, tris
Wednesday: Legs, abs
Friday: Back, shoulders

Monday:Chest, Tris, Abs
Wednesday:Back, Bis
Friday: Legs, Shoulders

you should try doing more exercises for triceps, 1 or 2 hamstring exercises at least and some sort of pulldown or pullover motion for back

Rocky · 02-09-2006, 06:49 AM

I agree with Makaveli. You should try and do equal amounts of exercises for antagonistic muscle to maintain balance not only to your physique, but also to their strength levels so that you do not end up with postural or joint probelms.

If you do 3 exercises for chest - then do 3 for back (also the abs are antagonistic to lower back)
2 for bis then 2 for tris
2 for quads, then 2 for hams etc!

Good luck with the new split.
