change of routine

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2005/06/16, 12:57 PM I have been lifting on a 4 day a week split, upper body tuesday and friday, and lower body on monday and thursday. However, I have begun rock climbing for 3 hours a day on tuesdays. Now, three hours of climbing is a lot of grip and upper back work, and a lot of pulling. anyways, i was wondering what everyone thought of this: since I am doing so much pulling and upper back work, would it be wise to split my first upper body day into 2 days, pushing (bench press, military press, Extensions) on sunday, then a lower body day on monday, and then tuesdays climbing, and then leave the rest how it is. Heres what that would leave me doing. Sunday-Press and extension upper body day. Monday-Lower body day centered around parallel squat, front squat, and hamstring work. Tuesday-Upper body day, climbing. Wednesday-Off Thurday-Lower body day centered around overhead squat and thick bar deadlift or powerclean. Friday-Full upper body day, pressing and pulling. Saturday-Off. Anyways, feel free to tear it apart, and if you want, I'll elaborate on it... -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.

I do the same with shoulders during cheerleading season.....I work them....but I don't overdue it. Cause i do basicly 6 hours of miltary press a week. -------------- gravity is not a law, only a obstacle
