Default kovalaybolt17's new split and diet

may 18th

during the middle of this week, i decided i would give a push, pull, legs routine a go since ive heard good things about it. for the last 2 years ive been doing one muscle group a day at high volume.. i made pretty good gains(30 pounds in 2 and change years) the reason for this is.. ill be able to workout hard 3 days a week instead of 5, and on those 2 extra days i can do a light chest day, and a light back/legs day. this extra work is to insure i do well in my hockey fitness tests this fall.

we'll see how much i go up in my stats as time goes on. im hoping im making a good choice here.

age-18
height-6'0''
weight-185lbs
bench-260lbs
dead-320lbs
squat-375lbs

i will post excersizes with sets, reps, and diet on training days. but my daily routine looks as follows.

monday -(push) chest, shoulders, tris, abs
tuesday -(pull) back, traps, briceps, forearms
wednesday - legs
thursday - rest
friday - light chest, abs
saturday/ sunday - one day for rest one for light back/legs (depends on schedule)

High volume or intensity?.....doesn't high volume refer to the # of reps?

i meant high volume as in number of sets, whenever i asked people on the board they said my routine was overtraining but i was making progress. im just seeing what works better for me. i usually do 4-8 reps depending on the set. but on the light days i'll be doing 12-15 to incorporate other fibers.

alright so i douched out and decided to stay on my old program a little longer. ive been making good gains and high volume and im not ready for a change in my life right now...lol.

so today was biceps forearms abs

barbell curls
warmup 70 lbs

working sets

alternating curls
1. 50 pounders (6 reps)
2. " " (5 reps)
3. " " (4 reps)

incline curl

2. " " (9reps)
3. " " (8reps)

hammer curl
1. 40 pounders (8 reps)
2. 8 reps
3. 7 reps

instead of reverse curls and those things where you roll the weight up your palms i did 4 sets of a weight on the string contraption i made.

abs
crunches - to burn
bicycle kicks - to burn
reverse crunches - to failure
crunches - to failure
bicycle kicks - to failure
reverse crunches - to failure

workout time - 50 minutes give or take.

got around 200gs of protein today.. little low since i went golfing 18 hoels with my buddies after my workout. workout felt good i did it at 12am instead of 2-230 like normal. energy level was around 8/10.

dumbell press 70 pounders
dumbell press 70 pounders
