Following the FT plan?

doelso Posts: 6 Joined: 2001/05/18	2001/06/19, 05:49 PM I'm sorry that this is a little long but please bear with me. If I were to strictly stick to the FT program that was generated for me, I would be doing the following: Mon - Legs Tue - Shoulders - Calves Wed - Off Thu - Back - Forearms - Abs Fri - Chest - Calves Sat - Tricepts - Bicept - Abs Sun -Off This schedule makes Thursdays and Saturdays long days in the gym: I do the same amount of sets and reps but I have changed the schedule as follows: Mon - Bicepts, Tricepts Tue - Chest, Abs Wed - Forearms, Legs Thu - Back, Abs Fri - Shoulders, Calves Sat - Off Sun - Off This seems to do a couple of things for me. 1). no marathon days. 2). I hit two muscles a day. 3). my ACTIVE weekends are my own. Can anybody give me good reason not to continue with this plan or am I missing something? Thanks doelso

Seems like a good program actually. On your new split: Training chest after triceps will be difficult since your triceps are your secondary muscle in most chest exercises. Training back after forearms will also be difficult since you need your forearm / grip strength in most back exercises. That's my point of view - Good Luck tho! .o0 Arnold 0o.
