is there such a training routine where you work your whole body with horizontal movements on one day and then on another day, you work your whole body on a verticle plane? it seems like a logical way to split up exercises.

how does this look?

workout a horizontal
squatting variations
bb flat bench
bb rowing
db bench
reverse db rows

workout b verticle
deadlifts
dips
chinups
mil press
pullups

im not sure if this is too much work for each muscle group. of couse it will be hard. i originally had 3 compounds per workout but i think thats not enough. anyone have any tips on how i should revise this? mayb some isolation instead?
im basically looking for a new way to do fullbodies to change it up.
 
eh, I think the squats and variations would go mor eon vertical wouldnt they?? maybe not...

I would go with push/pull instead of this or push/pull/legs...it may be too much work depending on the frequency.

Or of course the lower/upper...my favorite.
 
PB, i'm currently working on a horizontal/vertical split, but I think i am going to be changing it shortly. I find that i am training similar muscle groups back to back with the hor/vert splits. (i.e. pull-ups and rows, dips and bench, etc)
 
will you be doing this 3 days a week as fullbody? if so i dont see anything wrong with splitting the upper work into horizontal and vertical, i do the same usually.
 
nah...i made a cutting thread of course but i decided not to cut for various reasons. i still needed the info for the road ahead.

i am bulking

im just wondering if this is too much work for 3 days a week. i want to know the best way to go back in to fullbodies again.

the lat is doing better. not 100% though. :) tryin to rest it up and ice it. i can do pushups and dips and stuff now though w/o it aching though. thanks
