split workout advice

Post by thedrunkingpig »

im planning a split workout.
plan is the following:

M: Chest / Biceps
T: Shoulders / Back / Triceps
W: Legs / Lower back (deadlifts)
Th: Rest
F: Chest / Biceps
S: Shoulders / Back / Triceps
Sun: Rest

I am only doing legs once a week at the moment as i've done a lot of work in the past.
upper body is lacking.

i plan to do 3 or 4 exercises of 4-5 sets for each part.

Does this plan seem excessive?
Are the pairings ok?

Switch Biceps and Triceps.

Also You'll be getting some good Bicep work from any Row exercises you do and good Tricep work from any Press exercises you do, so easy on the Biceps and Triceps. You can add some direct work in there, but you won't need much, so I'd say on the Back and Chest work, limit to 6 sets max per session on each, then go for a couple of sets on Biceps and Triceps when you do them and about 4 sets on Shoulders per session.
