Before creating this routine I was training every muscle once a week. Basically, I used to train another muscle every day.
While doing some reading I learned that it should be more efficient to train every muscle again after 3 days. The muscles are fully recovered after ~3 days, therefore you can hit them again and gain more lean muscle.
To try this out I created this routine. It is a 3 day split - done twice in a row, each time with a different focus. As we start with chest & triceps, the focus lays on chest. The second time we do the same muscles, we focus on triceps and do chest as secondary muscle. I would suggest to take a rest day every 4th day.
** I didn't change the default resting times, I just left the 60 seconds. Usually, I just rest based on how I feel that day **
Day 1 (Monday):
Chest & Triceps (Focus chest)
Day 2 (Tuesday):
Back & Biceps (Focus back)
Day 3 (Wednesday):
Legs & Shoulders (Focus shoulders)
Day 4 (Thursday):
Rest
Day 5 (Friday):
Triceps & Chest (Focus triceps)
Day 6 (Saturday):
Biceps & Back (Focus biceps)
Day 7 (Sunday):
Shoulders & Legs (Focus shoulders)
Day 8 (Monday):
Rest
This routine is pretty heavy and focused to myself. I probably will adapt it a bit after some time when I discover points to optimize. Feel free to try it out! Feedback welcome!
