Shelby Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Hey Everyone!!!!! Wow, it's been TOO long since I posted something on this site! I've missed u all! How was the Vegan Vacation? I really wanted to go, but I couldn't miss class and work. I start Nursing school this Wednesday... yikes! Due to the fact that school, work, and studying are all very time consuming, I'm thinking of changing my workout scheme to full-body 3-4 days a week instead of doing a 5 day split routine. (Plus, I've stopped seeing much progress and have had a string of injuries within a short amount of time... not good!). Here's the routing I'm thinking of: Day 1: 5 sets x 6 reps, 120sec rest-Narrow Free Bar Squats-Flat Bench Press-Conventional DL's-Free Bar Military Press-Pull-ups or Lat Pull-down Day 2: 2-3 sets x 15 reps, 30 sec rest-Romanian DLs-Flat DB Bench-Static Free Bar Lunges-Seated Cable Row -Incline Curls [Hammers?]-Lying Triceps Ext Day 3: 3 sets x 10 reps, 60sec rest-Free bar Sumo Squats-Incline DB Chest Press-Reverse Lunges-Supinated BB Rows-DB Press (standing)-Supinated Lat Pulldown Any thoughts? On my "off" days, I'll do some abs and a bit of jump roping (my new passion... it's a blast!!!!). Hope everyone is doing well!!!!! -Shelby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CollegeB Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Good to see you posting on the forum agian Shelby. I've got to get on a schedule similar to this since i'm also starting school (tomorrow!). I usually do cardio on the off days, but i see you are going to do jump rope. Great!

bronco Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 I think the routine looks good. I would definitely avoid training to failure with that kind of routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Do u find Full-Body workouts to be beneficial? I never really got great results from them, but I thought it would be a good way to "shock" my muscles. Would an Upper/Lower split be a better option? Example: Upper:-Pull-ups or Lat Pull-downs-Rows-Incline DB Chest Press-DB or Cable Flyes-Military Press-DB Laterals-Biceps Curls (either free bar or Incline DB)-Narrow Bench Press Lower:-Unilateral Leg Press with high foot placement-Deadlifts (either SLDL or regular)-Squats (either narrow or sumo)-Lunges-Add/abd work Then do abs/core and light cardio on my off days. Too many options!!!!! urgh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
