what do your guys training splits look like? i know everyone has thier own one...just wanted to see.

i know i have HUGE pet pieves etc. w/ this just due to muscles and phys. just looking into what you guys are doing

I'll start it out, I think you probably kind of know what Muggs and I do if you've read the DC threads and saw the calendar...so far working GREAT, must increase weight or at least 2 more reps each time you do the exercise or you failed and must move onto a new exercise...I absolutely love that idea.

Basically only 2 different workout days, with 3 different exercises

MONDAY:
Chest
Shoulders
Triceps
Back Width
Back Thickness

WEDNESDAY:
Biceps
Forearms
Calves
Hamstrings
Quads

FRIDAY:
same as monday but with 2nd set of exercises etc etc

Only do one work set, just to give an example of what I did for chest last time doing incline bench:

Warm up set #1: 135 lbs x 12 reps with a 3-5 second negative on each rep

Warm up set #2: 135 lbs x 15 reps with a 3-5 second negative on each rep

Work set: 225 lbs x 8 reps to failure (12 big breaths) 4 reps to failure (12 big reps) 2 reps to failure and a static hold on the failure rep for 30 seconds (I think I made it 15 seconds lol)

Just for the hell of it I dropped back down to 135 after this and immediately did 20 reps to burn me out, again using super slow negatives

Might not sound like much but doing those negatives so slow FUCKING HURTS!!

Anyways critique away hopefully I explained it well enough

hmm, interesting. quite a different split than i am used to but everyone is different and you need to find what works for you. mine is TOTALLY different. i just feel if they are not split up differently (like the split i like) some muscles get worked almost everyday due to being used some in every exercise...this leads to overtraining IMO.

drop sets kick ass IMO....well keep lifting hard and update me if you change.
