4 Day a Week Bodybuilding Program


Recommended Posts

Check this split out. I've been using it for a long time now (in one form or another) and it has consistently given me good results. The exact number of sets is variable; sometimes I only do 2 working sets of a given exercise if I'm using heavy weights/lower reps (5-6 reps to failure). Usually I do three sets, and keep the reps in the 8-9 range until failure. This is completed within 7-8 days. Sometimes I do one day on and one day off, sometimes 2 on, 1 off. It depends how I feel and what I have to do other than train.

 

Any feedback or comments would be appreciated.

jack of all trades = master of none. basically i think you are doing too many different exercises. while in theory it seems like a good idea, it usually is not in practice. cut your number of exercises in half and rotate them in and out every 3 weeks or so. it just seems like you are tying to do the same thing 3 different ways on many of those days. 90 minutes is too long also. you'll stop being productive after 45 minutes or so.
