    DGabe Routine Revision, a good possibility?

    Well here is my original routine

    Monday – Chest / Triceps
    Bench – 3 x 4-6
    Incline – 3 x 4-6
    CG Press – 3 x 4-6
    Skull crushers – 3 x 4-6

    Tuesday – Legs

    Squats – 3 x 4-6
    Leg Extensions – 3 x 4-6
    Standing Calf Raises – 3 x 4-6
    Weight Crunches – 4 x 20
    Leg Curls – 3 x 4-6

    Wednesday – Rest, probably do some medium intensity cardio, most likely jump roping.

    Thursday – Shoulders
    Military Press – 3 x 4-6
    Side Raises – 3 x 4-6
    BB Curls – 6 x 4-6

    Friday – Hamstrings / Back
    SLDL's – 3 x 10
    BO Rows – 3 x 4-6
    Hypers – 2 x 10, 1 x 20
    DB Shrugs – 2 x 20
    Front chins – 3 x 5-7
    BB Rows – 3 x 4-6


    And here is the new one, basically I added an extra chest / lat day because I feel those are my two parts that are really lacking. I wasn't sure how exactly to add in the extra day, and how to re-work the days. Maybe someone could throw me some suggestions, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

    Monday – Chest / Triceps
    Bench – 3 x 4-6
    Incline – 3 x 4-6
    CG Press – 3 x 4-6
    Skull crushers – 3 x 4-6

    Military Press – 3 x 4-6
    Arnolds – 3 x 4-6
    DB Shrugs – 2 x 10
    DL – 5 x 3-5

    Wednesday – Rest, probably do some medium intensity cardio, most likely jump roping.

    Thursday – Chest / Lats
    Decline Press – 3 x 4-6
    Flat Fly – 3 x 4-6
    Dips – 3 x 4-6
    BO Rows – 3 x 4-6
    Pullovers – 3 x 4-6


    Friday – Hamstrings / Biceps
    SLDL's – 3 x 10
    Hypers – 2 x 10, 1 x 20
    Leg Curls – 3 x 4-6
    Good Mornings – 3 x 4-6
    BB Curl – 6 x 4-6

    Squats – 3 x 4-6
    Leg Press – 3 x 4-6
    Leg Extensions – 3 x 4-6
    Standing Calf Raises – 3 x 4-6


    I wasn't sure how to re-work the days.

    well its better than ur first routine up there but why do you seperate your hams from leg day i would do this
    day1:chest/back
    day2:off
    day3:legs/shoulders
    day4:
    day5:tris, bis, and forearms
    day6:off
    day7:off

    thats my new one and it is working great since i dont really have as many days as i used to for working out. thats just a suggestion but if ur into a four day a week routine i would recomend the baby go back routine.

    Well actually I had been emailing Sgt. Rock, the DL specialist, and the first routine was something he had worked on with me. I just wanted to add another chest / lat day to bring them to where I want them to be. I am currently bulking, I am at 172lbs +/- 1, and around 9-10 % BF. Looking to gain up to around 15lbs, but of course for all of you know know me, the soccer training really minimizes any significant gains. But that I dont mind, was just looking to hit chest / lats once more, and I put legs towards the end of the week to give them the weekend to rest, and still allows me to play soccer during the week.

    Adam: Ty for the suggestion, but I've been around for a little while thanks Looking for more of an intense / advanced routine.

    King: Answered your question above basically, and yeah I had recently done a split similar to yours for about 2 months. I did heavy upper / light lower / rest / light upper / heavy lower, and it didn't work too bad. Got to the point where I wanted to up the intensity, and I just couldn't handle having a full upper body workout smushed into one day, and it ended up hurting me because I couldnt last long enough to train as intense as I demand.
