Changing workouts - what next ?

[hannibaal82]

Hello,

I'm 187 cm, 70 kg, 26 y.o. My goal is primarily to gain wheight and strength.


I'm rather new at this - I've been wheight training for about a month and a half -

3 times a week, full body workout. I'm eating properly for my goals (that is, a lot...) and I keep my workouts to under 70 minutes.

I've seen improvements in practically every excercise.

I think it's time to stop the full body, relatively light workouts,
in favour of a more intense split workout program, and I have some questions:


1. Am I at all right ? Or should I spend more time with full body workouts ?

2. If I do split my workouts, is it advisable to train 2 days in a row ?

That is, sun (split 1), mon (split 2), tue (rest), wed (split 1), thu (split 2) wknd (rest).

wouldn't the second workout interfere with the nescessary rest for the first ?

3. Up to now, my routine included 2 excercises per muscle group, with each excecise divided as followed:

1 warm up set (10 reps), 3 sets (12 reps) with wheights I can deal with
(meaning, I finish the set tired, but I definitely finish each set).

Should I change this ? Should I go to heavier wheights with less reps ?


Any help would be appreciated.

Why are you putting an 'h' in the word weights?

Why do you want to give up the fullbody workouts if you're seeing results? I would ask why your workouts are lacking in intensity? You don't have to have a split routine in order to have more intensity in your workout. I think you mean intensive anyway. The definition of intensity is the closeness of one's 1RM (rep max) you are working with in your training.

Now, if you're just wanting to do something different, have at it.
Split ex:
M-lower, T-upper, W-off, Th-lower, F-off, Sat-upper, Sun-off

They shouldn't interfer with each other. You might feel a bit beat up if you go too high in volume the day before. But if you squat on Monday, you shouldn't have problems with some sort of pressing on Tues.
