That pretty much sums up my 6 week workout routine. The
odd and even weeks are mostly similar, here are the major
differences:
Mondays: not much difference here, other
than the last exercise done where seated calf raises are
done on odd weeks, and leg press calf raises are done on
even weeks.
Tuesdays: on odd weeks, incline dumbbell
press is done first, followed by flat dumbbell press, and
then weighted dips. On even weeks, flat bench press is done
first, followed with incline dumbbell press, and then hammer
strength declines.
Wednesday: the major difference for back
days is that deadlifts are done on odd weeks, and weighted
chin ups are done on even weeks, with the rest of the exercises
being quite similar. Because deadlift is such a demanding
lift, other heavy lifts like barbell rows and shrugs are
done on even weeks, when there is no deadlifting.
Thursday: the key compound lifts for odd
weeks are seated dumbbell presses, and military presses,
and for even weeks, its military press, and arnold presses.
During week 2 of the weight lifting routine, I added in
2 calf exercises on shoulder days - since my shoulder days
didn't take too long, and I felt I needed to put some more
workload on my calves.
Friday: the exercises done on fridays
are pretty much the same for odd and even weeks, with one
or two minor different exercises done for variation.
