    Im new, just need an opinion.

    Hey all, just found these forums and wanted some opinions. im 5'10 170lbs. Im looking to make a 3-day split routine for myself for monday, wednesday, and friday. This is what I have come up with I would like to know your opinions.

    Monday: 15min Treadmill,Chest,Triceps,Abs

    Wednesday: 15min Treadmill, Shoulders, Legs, Abs

    Friday: 15min Treadmill, Back, Biceps, Abs

    I will do 4 exercises for each muscle. Each exercise I will do 4 sets which include reps of 10,10,8,6 with 4 different exercises.

    For Example: CHEST
    Cable Crossover: 10rep/100lbs 10rep/100lbs 8rep/110lbs 6rep/120lbs

    Dumbell Press: 10rep/100lbs 10rep/100lbs 8rep/110lba 6rep/120lbs

    Dumbell Flyes: 10rep/80lbs 10rep/80lbs 8rep/90lbs 6rep/100lbs

    Bench Press: 10rep/120lbs 10rep/120lbs 8rep/130lbs 6rep/140lbs


    This is just an example not how much I actually lift. My main goal is to gain muscle, while losing a little fat. Does this sound ok to everyone? I only have time for a 3-day split routine. I plan on starting next monday.

    If you're new, why not try out WBB Workout #1? Its a really good 3 day split.

    In my opinion you're overtraining doing 4 exercises per bodypart, and also you should only train abs once, maybe twice a week. I think three is over doing it. Remember to train them like any other muscle as well, doing weighted exercises for low reps, not endless crunches.

    Good luck

    Is it ok to workout a body part once a week?

    Yes, iryoku, it's ok. Stick to 3-way split!
    "And if that doesnt work, bend her over, tear off the stretchpants, and go wild on the little slut. When you're done, drop her like a missed rep. When she's regained her senses, complain that she was making too much noise. She will then realize the error of her ways, and give you her number." - Budiak

    Yup, 3-way split works fine.
