Hello fellas, Been using the following workout schedule for a while now: Day 1: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps Day2: Cardio Day3: Legs Day4: Cardio Day5: Back/Biceps Now I want to change my workout schedule to something like this: Day1: Legs and Abs Day 2: 20 mins cardio and then Chest Day 3: 20 mins cardio and then Back Day 4: 20 mins cardio and then Shoulders Day 5: 30 mins cardio and then armd (Biceps/triceps) I guess this will help me focus on each body part and be able to load heavy weight for each workout. Do lemme know. Cheers |

Why not do this: Day 1: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps, small cardio Day2: Legs, calves, small Cardio Day3: Back/Biceps, small cardio Day 4: huge cardio Day 5: Rest if you feel lazy, repeat day1 otherwise Doing cardio after weights is much better since the glycogen stores in your body are depleted after working out. |

I now want to concentrate on each body part and give it maximum focus hence thought of changing my schedule. Thanks |

Try, Day 1: Cardio 10mts followed by Chest & biceps Day 2: Cardio 10mts followed by Back & Triceps Day 3: Cardio 10mts followed by Shoulders & Abs Day 4: Legs (this includes calves) Day 5: Repeat cycle. Cardio for 10mts is more of a warm up before you lift weights but it really helps to push your workout to the limit. |

The reason being triceps will be involved when you are working out on chest/shoulders, similarly for biceps when working on the back. Cheers |

I am following a similar routine with few changes. Day1- 15 min cardio then Chest and Back- upper abs Day2- 15 min cardio then Biceps and Triceps- lower abs Day3- 15 min cardio then Shoulder and legs + forearms Mine is a 6 days a week with sunday as rest day and am quiet satisfied with this routine. I also do a 2-3km running after finishing all exercises. |

Exactly!! Why would you wanna work on your already worked upon triceps while doing chest. I never really combine two major body parts chest/shoulder or shoulder/legs, cause by the time I'm thru with any one body part( I really push the weights to the max) I hardly have energy to work on the other major body part. Thats just me. |

aha the arnold type routine ... cool. I believe most of the old school routines work pretty well. and that running after weights = superb cardio. |
