Intermediate 4 Day Split Workout

This workout (alongside a ton of cardio) is kicking my butt in the first week. Love it! I'll probably stick with this one for 2-3 months.

Hey, do I need to follow workout exercises exactly as written? For example 3 biceps exercises in a row?

Hi steve
my goal is not to gain the weight but to keep it according to BMI and want muscular body. Going gymfrom last 8 months. Suggest me the workout.
Thank you

hi there is 2x warmup sets in bench press exercise is that mean pectoral fly ?

Is it okay to switch off exercises for example 1 set dumbbell fly, 1 set concentration curl, one set dumbbell fly...( not superset still taking short rest periods). Or is it more effective to get all chest out of the way, and then get all bicep out of the way?

:D

Can I work on forearms on a rest day?

HI, I have a question. on back days can I do lat pulldowns instead of the pullups. I don't feel confortable yet to do the pullups. thanks.

Is it okay to work triceps with one day of rest before chest day? Can I work back Thursday, shoulders and tris Friday then rest 2 days before chest day on Monday?

This program is good. In 3 weeks I've gained 6 lbs muscle. Focus on moving slow through the rep range with perfect form. Don't be afraid to use light weight if you cannot maintain good form. The reps/sets/and rest days work very nicely!

Hi, for how many weeks should I continue this program before progressing to another level of workout routines?

I had a heart attack three years ago. So I have to watch cholersterol, sat fats etc.. I am trying to lose some weight and also gain some muscle mass.
My routine right now is day one Chest, back, abs, 30 min. cardio, day two biceps, triceps, shoulders, abs and 30 min cardio, day three legs, abs, and 30 min. cardio, and day four just 45 min. cardio. Is this a good routine or how would you adjust? What foods would you recommend for buidling muscle mass and losing weight with low sat fats, low cholesterol?

hello sir, I want to know whether doing the Chest & the exercise for biceps will affect the growing progress of muscle group? Because chest is a pushing exercise where Biceps working out is a pulling exercise

Hey Steve,i'm currently using a new split and i would like to know if it's good. Is it too much or just ok. Thanks!

Hey Steve,

Hey i've been doing the following routine
Monday-chest

Friday-tricep
Saturday-legs
Abs everyday cardio 4-5x a week current weight 148lbs 5ft 7 18 years old 4% bf i want to gain size on my back and chest also i feel like my current workout is at a plateau so im going to try a 4 day split i usually superset everything and train for 40-45 mins high intensity can i switch shoulders to have there own day and make tricep go with back?

This back workout was kinda weak... I did everything to my full 8th rep failure and i wanted to do the list all over again .. im not the toughest kid either... 117lbs 17yrs 195lb bench press 240lb squat... what cani add to this list or should i not work myself more on back days???

Can I move the Saturday workout to Friday and keep all other days as scheduled ??

Should i add cardio to this workout before or after weights??

Would it be ok to do this workout 4 days in a row?

Hello

I've been using this plan for 8 weeks and it worked very well and I want to do some changes but I can't find another good workout. I would like some body leaning now but I don't know how to set up my own plan and I was wondering if you can help me? It would great if it would be similar to this one.

Thanks

When a routine states 3 sets and 8 reps for example should I be using the same weight or should I be increasing the weight?

I want to have bigger calves. How to do it? I need help.
I work my calves 1 a week but its no working.

And also, when I lift dumbbells, I normally would lift 20 but then now I've grown used to it and I can do a lot of reps and I see that if I keep lifting the same weight that I've grown comfortable with, I'll have no progress. So I was wondering, should I continue lifting the 20 dumbbells or lift another weight? I have a 30 dumbbell but I feel like it's a big jump from 20.

Hi I was wondering, is there any alternatives to incline flys because I workout at home and I don't have a back rest on my bench press. Therefore, I am unable to do this exercise.

Hey.

Can I add in hammer curl because I heard they worked your forearm more? Also my wrists are really skinny so how about wrist curls? Also when I do incline press I can a pain in my shoulder so what can I replace then with? Can I also do dumbbell press as a full exercise as well as a warm up for shoulders?

Steve, Is this workout ok to do:

Mon
Tue (abs)
Wes(rest/cadio)
Thurs
Friday(abs)
Sat(rest/ Cardio)
sun (rest)

Or by switching sat to friday am I messing my recovery time up?

If I'm 77kg, I have a good, protein- rich diet (6 meals ofc), will I buff up? I workout obviously The supplements that I'm using are Whey and Casein.

Morning: 5 eggs (boiled) + (2 scrambled)

Pre-evenin snack: 1.25 scoop whey (30g protein) + yoghurt (around 5g) + bannana

Lunch: 2 chicken breasts with rice (apple + cucumber) I hit the gym after an hour

Post-workout: 1.25 scoop with bannana

Dinner: Tuna fish and peanut butter (32g protein)

B4 sleep: 1 scoop casein and piece of fresh fruit and vegetable

I’m not sure what to eat exactly instead of my Post workout meal during resting days, do I take the same amount of nutrition source (whey + banana) as a mid-evening snack? Or an actual meal (as in food)?

And for my workout I follow this routine:

I workout every other day, as followed;

1st day: Chest = bench press
incline bench press
decline bench press
chest flyes
dips
Triceps = ez bar skullcrushers
tricep pushdown
dumbell pushes

2nd day: Rest

3rd day: Legs = Bar Squats
Leg curls (for thighs)
Hamstring Curls
Leg Press
Seated Calf Press
Shoulders = Dumbbell shoulder press (sometimes i do arnold curls)
Shoulder dumbbell Flyes
Should dumbbell front lats
Shrugs (Bar)

4rth day: Rest

5th day: Back = Bent-over barbell row
Upper Row
Low Row
Front Lat Pulldown
Side Laterals
Dumbbell Low row
Biceps = Bar curls
2 sets of twisting dumbbell curls and 2 sets of normal curls

6th day: Rest

7th day: Rest

Abs + Forearms + Cardio: I’m not sure when what to do or what to play, I was told to work the abs on the “Chest and Biceps day” + “Back and Triceps day.” However I’m not sure what and when to play?

Then repeat, I also do 5 min jogging b4 working out, and 5 min of walking after

Is this workout routine schedule good enough to buff me up? I used to play 6 days a week, but I read, resting for a longer period helps recover your muscles and promotes better stamina and strength. Please if this isn’t good can you give me a good workout routine (exercises, sets, reps, weight step-ups, days to workout, for how long, how often)?

And I'm also considering Creatine (because I'm stuck on the 20kg for bench pressing), can u aid me with this issue. Whether to take or not, if yes, what brand? How many grams, when to take it (time and days), and when do I discontinue using it?

how is this plan sat-chest,bicep sun-back,tricep mon-off tue-shoulders,legs
wed-off thu-fullbody w.o nd fri off?

Can you do this workout first thing in the morning and do cardio and abs later in the day and still get good results? I want to burn fat but get stronger as well. Because of my schedule, I have more time in the morning to focus on the workout its self.

What about forearems? I really wanna increase the size of my lower arm. WHen do I play, what exercises do I use?
