will workout program work

[dranbo]

hi, i`m just wondering if new training program will work.
i do 3 exercises for each muscle group and increase weight and lower reps and swop exercises every week, i.e

week 1

bench press

set 1, 8 reps, 60 kg
set 2, 7 reps, 70 kg
set 3, 6 reps, 80 kg

with 2 other exercises

week 2

dumbell hammer bench press

set 1, 8 reps, 20kg
set 2, 7 reps, 25kg
set 3, 6 reps, 30kg

with 2 other exercises.

so i do week 1 then week 2 then back to week 1 and repeat and up weight every 4-8 week depending on exercise

Are you training 1 muscle group per week?

[dranbo]

no, i work out upper body 3 days a week 2 muscle groups each day i.e

mon - chest + tri`s
wed - shoulders + bi`s
fri - back + traps
then legs on sat/sun

Do you think like most young men that you only have a chest to work ?..Seriously...legs, back, what of those ?

Hey,
It would be good to see the exercises you plan on doing in each session, for example:
session (chest & tri etc.)
exercise, reps, no. of sets, rest time inbetween or if you superset

Personally, it sounds a bit too spread out over too many sessions. But I think that's own preference on training rather than based on science. I split workout into 3 sessions. Currently it's Back & Bicep (hits the lats too), Chest & Tricep, Leg & Shoulders, with a maximum of 6 exercises per session as that's all I can fit into a 50-60min session.
