Hey all,

What sort of routine would be best for a 2 day split? I won't be starting it until the end of march, it's for cutting. So on the 3rd day I'd be doing cardio.

I've seen different types, such as push/pull (not sure what this one is about), and upper/ lower body workouts. Wouldn't the latter have more excercises on the upper though?

Any help apprectiated, muchas gracias!

[edit] I'd like to stick to 6/7 excercises maximum for each day!

Stick with compound exercises. I was going to post some exercises, but I'm guessing you already know what works for you. :)
 
That looks good, I can add in abs with cardio.

What i'm also wondering is the big 3 (bench, squat and DL). Should I do more than one in one workout?

I don't see any reason why not. I'm sure a lot of us have done full body workouts before with all 3 of those included. :)


Monday - CHEST/TRICEPS/SHOULDERS

Bench Press 3x10
Incline Dumbbell Press 2x10
Dips 3x10
Shrugs 3x10
Arnold Dumbbell Press 2x10
Barbell Shoulder Press 2x10

Wednesday - LEGS/BACK/BICEPS

Squats 3x10
Lunges 2x10
Calf Raises 2x10
Deadlifts 2x10
Wide Grip Chin-Ups 3x10
One-Arm Dumbbell Rows 2x10

Friday - CARDIO

That's just an example. :)
 
I like the look of it. Might try and add in lunges again, though I found them tedious last time. Do people here do static lunges or step into them?

This is what I was thinking (haven't sorted out setsxreps yet):

Chest/Shoulder/Triceps

DB Bench
Incline DB Bench
Arnold Press
Lat Raises
Rear Delt row
Triceps pushdown

Leg/Back/Abs
Squats
Lunges
Calf raises
Deadlifts
Lat pull down
Preacher curl
 
Personally I would take out the lateral raises and do dumbbell/barbell shoulder presses instead as it will hit your triceps too and is a compound movement. :)
 
I see what you mean, but i've already got arnold press in there which is a very similar movement i.e. working the anterior. I think I might keep that one in, or possibly swap it for Upright rows (haven't tried these, yet they look painful on the wrists!)
