Bodybuilding Routine

Bodybuilding Routine

The body building routine means what types of exercises, in how many sets or how many repetitions that you will be undergoing for training each of your muscles. For instance, 3 sets of the flat bench press, 3 sets of the incline bench press and 2 sets of flat bench dumbbell flyes that you will be doing for the chest weight lifting routines. The workout split describes that how you have planned to divide your workout routines. Also like on what day you will be doing exercise for what particular muscle, to be more precise like you will be doing biceps, back and legs on Mondays and doing triceps, shoulders and chest on Tuesdays could be termed as workout split.

The basic notion behind designing the body building routine is that you better ensure that you split all the workouts so that you may not do any overtraining. Doing exercises or workouts haphazardly like chest on Monday, triceps on Tuesday and shoulders on Wednesday would over-train your triceps because just about every chest and shoulder exercise workouts the triceps are secondary. So in short you will be required to do just 1 of the 3 things when preparing your workout routines and splits.

Try to work chest, triceps and shoulders on the same day and biceps and back on the same day so it's okay if the secondary muscles get exercised on the same day since you are doing them anyway.

Split those muscles that work the secondary muscle so that they are sufficiently away to over-train you, for instance, do chest on Mondays, triceps on Wednesdays and shoulders on Fridays and include biceps on Mondays with chest and back either on Wednesdays or Fridays.

Some of the suggestions for the splits made by the expert body builders, once the body builder understands the basics of the workout routines and the splits and programs, he can easily set his own routines as it is not the intricate science anyway. However, appended below are the few sample split routines and workout program that are widely practiced and used by many body builders:

Monday Chest / Triceps, Tuesday off, Wednesday Biceps / Back, Thursdays off, Friday Shoulders / Legs, Saturdays and Sundays off.

Monday Chest / Biceps, Tuesday off, Wednesday Shoulders / Legs, Thursday off, Friday Back / Triceps, Saturday and Sunday off.

Monday Chest / Back, Tuesday Shoulders, Wednesday off, Thursday Biceps / Triceps, Friday Legs, Saturday and Sunday off.

These are just a few sample splits and programs that may help you to great extent. However, majority of the body builders avoid working out and exercising on the weekends whereas there are some people especially prefer the most for undergoing their workouts and exercises during the weekends. Anyway, it entirely depends on the individual body builder that on what days of the week he can spare proper time for his workouts and what days he does not prefer exercising during the week. Accordingly he should plan his body building routines.
