Hi everyone! Glad to have found this forum. Looks awesome! Here's my question: I do a little MMA/Jiu-Jitsu 6 times a week. And, for the next 6 months, I'll be arriving at the gym at about 18:30, since I'll be getting off from work at about 18:00. This leaves my very little time for weightlifting... I'm trying to set up a split workout schedule, and I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Does the following make sense? Day 1 - Back Fourexercises, doing four sets for each one. Sets are 15, 12, 10 and 8 reps, increasing the weight volume each time. Day 2 - Chest Four exercises, doing four sets for each one. Sets are 15, 12, 10 and 8 reps, increasing the weight volume each time. Day 3 - Shoulders Four exercises, doing four sets for each one. Sets are 15, 12, 10 and 8 reps, increasing the weight volume each time. Day 4 - Bicep Three exercises, doing four sets for each one. Sets are 15, 12, 10 and 8 reps, increasing the weight volume each time. Day 5 - Tricep Three exercises, doing four sets for each one. Sets are 15, 12, 10 and 8 reps, increasing the weight volume each time. Day 6 - Legs Four exercises, doing four sets for each one. Sets are 15, 12, 10 and 8 reps, increasing the weight volume each time. Am I missing any major group muscle, or am I good with this split? How long should I carry this out before I reassess? I'm doing four exercises for bigger muscle groups, and three for smaller... Does this make sense? By the way, I'm 5ft 9, I weight about 72 Kg at this point, and I'm probably somewhere around 15% to 20% in bodyfat. Thanks for your help in advance guys!Similar Bodybuilding Threads: Full body and split workout My split routine.

I'm not a pro or anything but I usually try to combine a little more so I can do more than 1 day a week.
Welcome to Musclemecca! For the routine, I'd say from experience, what worked better was when I've combined 2 or more muscle groups a day. For example instead of having a whole bicep day, or triceps day, I'd say you could have a chest & arms day, back day, delts, and legday. Or you could try a push/pull/legs routine. You might like it since it is more challenging imo. Here's an example on how it looks: Monday: Push (Chest, Shoulders, Triceps) Tuesday: off Wednesday: Pull (Back, Biceps) Thursday: off Friday: Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves, Abs) Saturday: off Sunday: off On the off or rest days you could do some cardio or something.

After taking a look at how you have mapped out workouts routines, and with my experience in the field, I could easily say that it looks very good to me. You found a way to measure up and distribute your drills to not have a chock up and give you difficulty in combining them all together through the week.
