  • My new workout routine

    Hello!

    I am trying to start a new workout routine and need som tips and help. Is it better to train your whole body once a week (4 split) or twice a week? Do you guys think this is a good one? The program contains both heavy weights with low reps and lighter weigths with higher reps for the pump. I am trying to get stronger and leaner:

    Day 1: Chest, biceps, calfs (the exercises is just an example, will try to change and vary exercises between workouts)

    Benchpress 4 set x 6 reps
    Flyes 4 set x 15 reps
    Standing dumbbellcurls 4 set x 6 reps
    Preacher curl 4 set x 15 reps
    Standing calfpresses (raises?) 4 set x 15 reps
    Abs 4 set x 15-30 reps

    Day 2: Back
    Seated cable rows 4 set x 6 reps
    One arm dumbellrows 4 set x 6 reps
    Lat pulldowns 4 set x 15 reps
    Light seated cable rows or close grip lat pulldowns 4 set x 15 reps
    Hyperextensions 4 set x 12-15 reps (or 2 set of hyperext and 2 set of close grip lat pulldowns)
    Abs 4 set x 15-30 reps

    Dag 3: Shoulder, triceps
    Seated militarypress in smith 4 set x 6 reps
    Dumbell lateral raises 4 set x 15 reps
    Bent over lateral raises 4 set x 15 reps + some set for rotator cuff
    Close grip benchpress 4 set x 6 reps
    Pushdowns 4 set x 15 reps
    Abs 4 set x 15-30 reps

    Dag 4: Legs, traps
    Legpress 4 set x 6 reps
    Lying leg curls 4 set x 15 reps
    Leg extensions 4 set x 15 reps
    Dumbbell shrugs 4 set x 6 reps
    Upright rows/Shrugs 4 set x 15 reps
    Abs 4 set x 15-30 reps

    Majority of sets are taken to failure

    5 min cardio warm up before weight workout +
    2-3 set 15-20 reps warm up on the first exercise of a musclegroup

    10 min HIIT after every workout + maybe two 10 min HIIT on two off days

    Does this routine look good? Or is it better to do another workout rouitine? Help, tips?

    Stronger and leaner with bodybuilding aspirations?
    I do question doing biceps before back day. Is there at least a day rest between the two?

      Just wanna get in good shape and love to pumping iron I am 173 cm and weigh about 100 kg, have quite a lot of musclemass but to way to much bodyfat..

      Biceps before back day maybe isn't a good idea..Thanks for the tip

      Maybe better to do:
      1 Chest, shoulders
      2 Back, traps
      3 Legs, calfs, abs
      4 Arms

      What do you think about training each muscle group twice a week?

      Maybe like this:
      1 Chest, shoulders, traps, triceps, abs (Heavy 6-10 reps)
      2 Back, biceps, legs, calves, forearms (Light 12-15 reps)
      restday
      3 Chest, shoulders, traps, triceps, abs (Light)
      4 Back, biceps, legs, calves, forearms (Heavy)

      2 exercises per muscle group with 3-4 set per exercise, and some of the exercises for superset to save time..A total of 30-40 set per workout..Is that to many sets for a workout?

      I have a little bit trouble to decide how I should train and need som advice..

      Thanks for the time and help!

      By the way, I really like the train insane with Kane videos
