workout questions for professionals?
I'm trying to build mass and i've been working out since the summer vacation. Until now, i have not figured out the best workout routine for mass, so my question is this: How many sets and reps should i perform for each body part and how long should i rest in between sets and in between workouts?
For the past few weeks, my routine has been this:
Mon: Biceps
- 4 sets 10 reps of Exercise A
- 4 sets 10 reps of Exercise B
- 4 sets 10 reps of Exercise C
Back (15 sets combined)
Tues: Shoulders
- 3 sets of 8-10 reps for front delts of Exercise A
- 6 sets combined of 8-10 reps for shoulders of Exercise B
- 3 sets of 8-10 reps for back shoulders of Exercise C
Chest
- 3 sets of 8-10 reps for upper pecs
- 3 sets of 8-10 reps for inner pecs
- 3 sets of 8-10 reps for lower pecs
Triceps
- 4 sets of 8-10 reps for Exercise a
- 4 sets of 8-10 reps for Exercise b
- 4 sets of 8-10 reps for Exercise c
Wednesday: All of legs.
Thursday: rest
Friday: rest
Sat: Start of routine again...etc.
I rest for around 1 minute in between sets and i rest for 4 days before working out the same body part..
i'm asking for a workout routine for each body part and how many rest days for building mass

you have 3 different workout days, you should combine this into 2, then rest 3 days per week, workout mon tue, rest wed, workout thu fri, rest sat sun
your reps are good, make sure you do abs

A mile a day is at the entire a little bit of slight. Not distinctive what a leg magic computing gadget is, nonetheless a stepper type of computing gadget is good. Try going for walks a side hour 2 occasions a day, as quickly as previous than art work or school and as quickly as after. You can do at least three miles a day going for walks for an hour. The endorphins are nice for starting the day and for keeping off emotional drinking inside the night time time. Also keep in mind a couple of slight weight teaching on the better body, or only some chin america of americaand push ups.

well first off your probably overtraining. secondly u should train big bodyparts first (chest, back, legs) and then after they are trained you can work your biceps, triceps, and shoulders. for mass id say you should be doing anywhere from 1-10 sets total for big bodyparts and 1-6 for smaller bodyparts. your works should be in a good split, like one of my favorites is chest and biceps, legs and calves, back and triceps. i find the less you workout the better and bigger i get. so dont get caught up in training for hours. train for no more than an hour. make sure to get plenty of rest days and sleep. plus eat a lot of food. the amount of calories and the amount of weight you use will be the desider b/t being huge and being skinny lol. good luck!
