Any advice on lifting routine?

[Anonymous]

Currently I go to the gym between 5-6 times a week (just depending on how busy my days get). And I usually keep alternating between legs, chest, and shoulders/back (throwing in biceps/triceps/abs on certain days). Is this a good routine to keep? I heard that it can be good to split the back and shoulders up, but I don't know many shoulder lifts to work them out. And also I do 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps.

Any advice on things to change? I also do most of my cardio activity by riding my bike almost everywhere I go, so it can be a couple miles a day.

Allow your muscles 5 days of rest before completely breaking them down again. And It is a good idea to split the back and shoulders up. Adding back workouts on leg days is a good idea. Make sure you vary your workouts every 3-5 weeks to avoid plateau too. I switch my back workouts between leg and core workouts every 5 weeks.

And and every 8-10 weeks, I take a week or two off and do nothing but cardio. I also stop taking supplements during that time. Above all else, drink a lot of water. I typically take in between 80oz-1 gallon a day.

do you mean you do legs, chest, and shoulders all in the same day and do like only a few of each, or you focus on one group each day? focus on one group each day, that way you rest those muscles but are still working out others
