This is my favorite split, let’s me hit every body part 3x in 2 weeks. Sets I do 10 sets total for chest, back, bis, tris. Shoulders and rear delts 6-8 sets total, secondary muscles get stimulated hitting main muscle on that day. I warm up get to my working weights and take all sets to failure, or until form totally breaks down. Legs I typically do 8-9 sets for quads and 6-7 sets on hams maximum. I feel like personally if you can do more sets than that you are not taking your sets deep enough in to the pain zone. Abs about 150-200 reps, 3-6 sets depending on weight. Calves about 5-6 sets each to failure. Exercise wise I change it up, I do some exercises for only 1 set, some for up to 4-5 if I’m really loving it. The muscle you’re training I believe can’t tell if your doing to incline machine or incline dumbbell for example it just feels the tension and fatigue you’re putting on that muscle. I train for a max of 50-1 hour that’s enough.
Cardio
M- 30 min stairs, 30 bike evening
T- 30 min elliptical
W- 30 min stairs, 30 bike evening
Th- 30 elliptical
F- 30 stairs, 30 bike evening
Sa- 30 elliptical
Sun- 2x 30 recumbent bike
etc.
So 30 minutes post training cardio daily, then every other day I do an additional 30 minutes of cardio at night. So today was Sunday so I did 2 sessions on recumbent bike at home. But next week I’ll only have 2 session of cardio on Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. This seems like a lot, which it is but it works for me. It averages to 45 minutes a day, not too bad.
