Ha'way then, what routine is everybody following at the minute? After having to pack in boxing (gutted) because of my uni timetable, I'm now just doing weight training and my routine is along the lines of:

Monday: Lower Power
Tuesday: Upper Power
Wednesday: Off
Thursday: Upper Tension
Friday: Lower Tension
Saturday: Upper Tension
Sunday: Off

I'm hitting every bodypart directly atleast twice per week, although everything apart from my legs, abs and traps are worked directly three times. I also do some low intensity steady state cardio on wednesday. On the upper tension session on thursday, I won't do any presses for shoulders and on saturday I won't do any presses for chest.
 


Not quite as sophisticated as your routine Titus, but I do the following:

Monday - Chest, back(Upper and lower), abs/obliques
Tuesday - Badminton
Wednesday - Shoulders, Bicep, tricep(changed my routine about recently to introduce these 3 as I felt my chest and back could lift heavier but my arms wouldn't allow it), legs (squats, press, toe raises, curls), abs/obliques
Thursday - Rest (occasionally Fives)
Friday - Chest, back(Upper and lower), abs/obliques
Saturday - Fives
Sunday - Rest

Then just repeating those two week cycles? I wouldn't do that, you'll likely end up spinning your wheels tbh mate.
 
Trying to bulk up and my current routine is along these lines.

Monday: chest and triceps
Tuesday: legs/core am & footy training pm
Wednesday: Backs and biceps
Thursday's: shoulders & core
Friday: legs/cardio/core
Saturday: rest
Sunday: match day am - sauna/pool stretch/steam room

2 protein shakes a day ( whey protein, instant oats, creatine monohydrate)

any advice on how it's structured is appreciated

Starting to see the rewards 2 months in regards to strength gains

If you're natural, you're going to see much better gains if you hit every body part directly atleast twice per week. Doing this allows for muscle protein synthesis to be more consistently elevated, thus more muscle growth. With footy training on a tuesday, I'd make that a rest day and do a fullbody 3x per week on monday, wednesday & friday and then rest on saturday ahead of a game on sunday.

no not repeating that or i will fall into a routine and therefore not be pushing myself. For this current month I will do this, then assess my progress or things i need to improve on
 
Monday Morning- Chest, triceps,
Monday afternoon - abs, cardio
Tuesday Morning- Back, biceps
Tuesday afternoon- abs, cardio
Wednesday- Abs, Cardio
Thursday morning- Shoulders,
Thursday afternoon- Abs, Cardio
Friday- Legs
Saturday- Abs, Cardio
Sunday- abs, Cardio

Trying to cut my body fat % as low as I can get before bulking and then cutting back down to a % where I'm abit bigger and cut. Seen vast improvements the last 2 weeks but thats probably down to cutting my Kcal consumption down alot as well and the fact the Gym is just 5 floors down.
 
Can't see the sense in training and 6 times per week :eek:
 
After reading some of your threads Titus I'm doing the following. My time isn't helped by work though.

Monday evening - 45 min Spin class followed by 10 mins core then 15 mins light cardio.

Tuesday morning - 30 min run, 25 min heavy bag session (got some video tips from youtbue after you recommended boxing routines). I then do a short chin up, squat and dead-lift session.

Wednesday eveing - 1 hour weights and core session.

Thursday evening - 1 hour interval cardio session followed by 20-30 mins in the pool if I have the energy.

Friday morning - 4 mile run of which about 2 miles is up hill.

Saturday - mix of all of the above at a lighter tempo.

Sunday - recover and 10 pints.

Try something like:

Monday: Upper
Tuesday: Lower
Wednesday: Abs
Thursday: Upper
Friday: Lower
Saturday: Abs
Sunday: Off

I'd say do 3x full body sessions, but I doubt you'd be able to cope only being in the gym 3x per week judging by your current routine :lol:.
 
lol, most of these are far too intense. good luck sticking to them.

if you do like, you'll be running around like action men.

i'd rather do 3 work outs a week, upper pulls, upper push, legs + abs. skip leg days if feeling lazy.

mainly compounds. much easier to stick to.

How can you judge intensity by frequency?

I meant its a lot of workouts a week. A lot of dedication required. A lot of time in the gym.

Hence the rest of my post...
