help with split

edited December 2010 in Life
im after a little tweaking with my split routine; I've been training for 6weeks and been on a split for a little less. I'm on a 50/50 gainer, glutamine, dextrose, creatine, multi and my diet is a-ok. I walk daily so I strictly weight train and avoid cardio at gym. I'll write up my schedule to the best of my ability, but please excuse mis-titled exercises and whatever else. My training also incorporates negative loading (eccentric?) with usually a 1:0:3(or)4 tempo.

1/4: Legs/Core
2/4: Cest/Tri

    just do pushups, situps, chinups, and running brah

    a PT friend of mine who was in the NAVY emphasised the importance of body-weighted exercises and running, but I really want to stack on some quick weight first, find the outer extreme, cut back to comfort and then begin working on a maintenance program. Over the next 12 months my main focus is mass gain and I think a weight-training schedule is more catered towards that goal ?

    thx for reply :thumbsup:

    Woahhhhhh.... take it easy on all those sets man. You are doing way too many exercises and sets. Try to keep it around 3-4 exercises and 3-4 sets for each muscle group. And if I remember right you are trying to bulk, so try to do more weight with less reps, and throw in a burn out on the major exercises not all of them. (or the ones you think you need them on) Interesting pyramid style work out, how do you differ the weight with that? Lighter to heavier then back to lighter I'm assuming?

    Thanks for the reply dood

    Ok so I should substitute:
    * BB Squat 12,10,8,6,10
    * Leg Press 12,10,8,6,10
    * Smith Squat 10,8,6,10
    * Hack Press 10,8,6,10
    * Lunges 10,8,6,10
    * Calf Raises 10,8,6,10
    * Leg Extenstion 10,8,6,10

    for:

    * BB Squat 12,10,8,6
    * Leg Press 10,8,6,10
    * Smith Squat 10,8,6,10
    * Hack Press 10,8,6
    * Calf Raises 10,8,6,10

    Or even less sets/exercises?

    The weight increments I'm using looks like this:
    1 warm-up ~25%
    2 working 1 ~ 45%
    3 working 2 ~ 75%
    4 working 3 ~ 100%
    5 drop ~ 35%

    The total 100% doesn't equal my 1RM (I’ve never calculated it), just the entire weight I will be using that exercise. My work out takes 90minutes if best, sometimes longer - I wouldn't be at all surprised if I'm over training.

    It seems like you are over working a little bit but that schedule does look a lot better. You just have to find that balance that your body will let you push to your limit but not over work and actually lose muscle. People have different views on the exact work out and how many sets and reps and the such so this is all IMO. When you do the exercises, hit them hard and you won't want to do so many different ones.
