    Check my new 4 day split

    Alright time to change things up a bit. Here is my idea for a 4 day split:

    Monday: Chest & Ab's
    Incline BB Press: 3x8
    Incline DB Press: 3x8
    Flat BB Press: 3x6
    Chest Flies: 2x10
    Push Ups: 3x10
    Reverse Ab Curls (think thats what its called): 3x10
    Incline weighted crunches: 3x10

    Tuesday: Legs
    Seated Calf Raises: 3x8
    Squats: 4x6
    SLDL: 3x6
    Rotate Front squats in Every Other Week: 3x6
    Leg Curls: 2x8


    Wed: Off

    Thursday: Back & Ab's
    Pull Ups: 3x8 (for now, increase as i can)
    Deadlifts: 4x4 (every other week)
    Bent over Rows: 3x8 (every other week, switching with dead lifts)
    Seated Rows: 3x8
    Same Ab as monday:

    Friday: Shoulders, Triceps, Biceps
    Seated Military Press: 3x8
    Close Grip Bench Press: 3x8
    Standing BB Curls: 3x10
    Incline DB Curls: 3x8

    I will be cutting using something similar to Builts Cutting Diet.

    Supplements: Creatine, Protien, Multi, Malto, Dextrose, ETS.

    Want to throw in a thermogenic, thinking about picking Thermorexin.

    For cardio i usually do sprints. Ill change it up every day but it will be something like 100, 200, 300, 400, 400, 300, 200, 100 and then 2 laps jogging. I also play basketball and swim. Cardio will be done 2-3 times a week to help in fat loss.

    Will link diet as soon as i make it up.

    IMO the volume is kinda higha esp. if you train with 100% intensity for all exercises.. I don't see a point doing 2 incline pressing movements since you will already be whacked from the Incline BB Press and you are simply shortchanging your incline DB press.. What I will change to is..

    Incline BB/DB Press: 3 x 8 (alternate weekly)
    Chest Flies: 3 x 8
    Flat BB/DB Press: 2-3 sets
    Another form of flye maybe some Cable Crossovers or Pec Deck: 2-3 sets

    I assume you are doing the push ups as a form of burning out the muscles, personally I will ditch it since the volume is high enough, if not a few negative dips to end the workout with a solid pump..

    Ab workout looks fine but do you mean decline weighted situp instead?

    Tuesday: Legs
    Seated Calf Raises: 3x8
    Squats: 4x6
    SLDL: 3x6
    Rotate Front squats in Every Other Week: 3x6
    Leg Curls: 2x8
    LOL, your chest workout alone is just 1 set lesser compared to yoyr entire leg workout.. Maybe try this..

    Standing Calve Raise: 3 x 8 (Heavy)
    Seated Calve Raise: 3 x 12-15 (Medium weight)
    Squat: 3 x 6
    Leg Press: 3 x 8-10
    Front Squat: 2 x 8-10 [optional]
    SLDL: 3 x 6
    Leg Curls- 3 x 8-10

    Thursday: Back & Ab's
    Pull Ups: 3x8 (for now, increase as i can)
    Deadlifts: 4x4 (every other week)
    Bent over Rows: 3x8 (every other week, switching with dead lifts)
    Seated Rows: 3x8
    Same Ab as monday:
    Looks decent.. I will however, alternate the Rows instead and Deadlift every week.. Thus making it

    Pull Ups, Barbell/Seated Row, Deadlift..

    You might wanna change the Deadlift o Rack Pulls though since your legs are still gonna be recovering from Tues workout plus the stress from cardio..

    Friday: Shoulders, Triceps, Biceps
    Seated Military Press: 3x8
    Close Grip Bench Press: 3x8
    Standing BB Curls: 3x10
    Incline DB Curls: 3x8
    Throw in 3 sets of Side Laterals too.. Maybe also 2-3 sets of Skull Crushers. All the best!!

    Thanks guys! I will throw this in Excel and get my journal started.

    Canadian Crippler: How would i go about working in Built's routine? Do you mean her diet stragey or her workout? I looked at her workout and I am not really trying to increase back size just yet.
