Monacle me a routine (2 day split)

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!

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 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

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!)

Excellent, haven't seen those before. I'll definatly keep them in mind!
