Bud how long have you been training?
We giving you advice to cycle but it worries me if you haven't got training down to a fine art...

Putting that aside there are countless routines available.

A routine that's fairly easy is the push pull method of training. What are your goals? For instance if you want to get into to strength sports I like west side barbell, with additional deadlift work.

You need to experiment and find what works for.you. This is a process that can take some.time, at minimum 2 years of training is what I propose before even considering a cycle.

When it hurts... That's when i start counting, because that's when it starts to count.

Well depending on where you are in relation to where you want to be...

Please understand I only asked with your best interests in mind.

Here is a nice way to do it.

Chest and triceps
Back and Biceps
Shoulders and legs

Or you can even split legs! For example put hammies with back, as they are Co dependent.
If your arms are lagging, give them their own day. Can pair chest with shoulders.

The most important factors are consistentcy and progressive overload. Get that right and you will make progress!

When it hurts... That's when i start counting, because that's when it starts to count.

I gen. have an active rest day after legs i.e. I cycle, run, even do a circuit or 2 with a focus on cardio effort.

I then train 2 day e.g. Chest & Triceps then Back & Biceps.

Then another day active rest

I then train 2 day again e.g. Shoulders then Legs

I alternate Abs & calves on workout days.
I use active rest days to do little things like work on old injuries, etc.

but that's just me, many ways to skin a cat.

perfect what mason might said.
i always train the agonist and antagonist eg. (bicep & triceps)

But sometimes shocking your body and doing something different isn't bad.
and don't forget Manipulation of muscle angles is also great to change intensity a bit.

Try mine, I've always done legs on a monday so that its out of the way.

Mon - Quads & Hams
Tues - Chest & Tri's
Wed - Off
Thurs - Shoulders & Bi's
Fri - Back
Sat - Optional weak bodypart. (Usually chest & tri's for me.)
Sun - Off

You can do calves EOD which has worked for me. Cardio has always been done after a workout, and I've recently started doing some ab work too.

Remember to focus a bit more on lagging areas, and don't just throw the weight around, you gotta feel the muscle working!
Quality over quantity i always say

Cheers

I've seen a lot of you guys train most of your sections only once a week. Is this because you don't want to overtrain the muscle?

My current plan is as follows,I try to train each muscle group twice a week

Mon:chest and tri
Tue:arms(bi,tri and forearm) and shoulders
Wed:legs (focus on quads)
Thur:back and biceps,shoulders
Fri:chest
Sat:legs(focus on calves and cardio)

I follow this combination plan because of the blood flow that go to specific and secondary muscles,I've seen some pretty good gains but I want to know if it could be better,we are after all striving for perfection
