Day 1: Chest/Tri Day 2: Back/Bi Day 3: Shoulders Day 4: Legs Day 5: Off day Repeat

I'm assuming you're doing multiple exercises for chest & back.. triceps get enough work on "chest day". and bis get enough work on back day. if you switch to chest/bis and back/tris, you will be able to lift more on the arm work. which will lead to more gains. do u tho...

Saw Arnold's workout which they said was:

Day 1: Chest/Back Day 2: Shoulders/Arms Day 3: Legs Day 4: Chest/Back Day 5: Shoulders/Arms Day 6: Legs Day 7: Off

if you're doing more than 2 exercises for each muscle group with this split, you need to go on gear. Training splits came about from guys using PEDs anyway. if you're natural it's best to do full-body, but I'm sure you'd rather listen to bodybuilding.com and bodybuilding magazines..

This seems pretty daunting, and from what I've read he would break each day into 2 gym sessions. Just curious if any of you guys have tried this, did it work for you,

he did 2 workouts per day because he could (read: PEDs). You could do 2-a-days also if you program it right. I've done it. Did it work? I programmed my shit right, so yeah it "worked". i did different bodyparts or different rep ranges in the 2 workouts... cuz i'm not on PEDs.

and what your current routine is?

full-body everyday, alternating between a volume (high rep) day and intensity (low rep) day. routine is like:

Superset a squat with a pull up or chin up

Superset a deadlift with a standing overhead press

superset a row with weighted dips, incline dumbbell press, or one-arm dumbbell bench press

superset reverse-grip preacher curl, one-arm dumbbell preacher curl (from opposite side of bench), or hammer curl with a tricep extension

Then: step-ups, reverse lunges, or bulgarian split squat

Farmer walks or heavy ass dumbbell shrugs

And finish off with high rep face-pulls

Then 3+ rounds of shadow-boxing and 15-20min of jumprope

This is what I do:

Day 1: chest/shoulder/bi Day 2: back/tri Day 3: legs/squats/deadlifts/traps

If I could do Day 4 only: shoulder/arm If I could do day 4 &5: repeat day 1 &2 but reverse order.

It’s been working pretty well for me and I increase my weights every other week so it’s good.

Bro splits are for steroid users. You need to focus on progressive overload. 6,8,10,12 or 8,10,12,12 rep scheme. Up the wait every week by 5 pounds. You should be teasing Failure every set with this routine. Also spend no more than 45 minutes in the Gym.
