hi everybody...
so summer s come so time to stay at home and work out is going to be less and less.

I used to do a 3 days split routine in this way:

MON.
legs shoulders

WED
Chest trips

FRI
back biceps

NOw, IF i want to turn it into a 2 days split routine what should I do?
I want to keep all the compound exercises( deads, squats, benchp..) but in two days it sounds hard. coz I think that If I tried deads and squats on the same day or deads and bench for instance it would be tough..
any ideas to keep worki the whole body in a two days split routine?

thanks a lot..
 
If I were to do a two day split I would do an upper/lower split. I would do it on Tuesday and Friday or something of that matter.
 
If you have the time for a bit longer sessions why not go to a full body routine 3 times a week. Alternate workouts between an 8 - 12 rep / low weight day and a 3 - 8 rep heavy day for maximum results. I do an Upper heavy / Lower light day then reverse to upper light / lower heavy the next workout. I just started on it but let me tell you that I can really feel it. Doing both on the same day really kicks the intensity up and you are working each body parts 3 times a week instead of just working each body part two times a week with a split routine. You could even split it up some like upper in the morning and lower in the evening.

Pushing day is only pushing exercises, for example, all presses (chest and shoulder), dips, squats, lunges, (extensions if you want) and tricep exercises. Pulling is back work and some shoulder as well, pullups, chinups, pulldowns, rows (upright, bent over and pendlay, db bent over, seated), deadlifts, hamstring stuff, etc...
 
How long should a session last in a pull/push routine, two days per week?

How many exercises for each body part usually?

I was thinkin:

MON: push
Bench press
inclined dumbell bench press
Squat
Triceps Dips
tricps extensions
an exercise for shoulders with db
push ups


FRI: pull
deads
barbell rower
biceps curls
biceps hammers

could this routine be fine?
should I add or remove exercises?

Consider that I do not have anymore a lot of time to work out...
In my mind on monday I have too many push exercises...

I wouldnt do incline DB press and a shoulder press, just do one of the other, it would be good to alternate between them. Yeah, no pushups necessary.

Focus more on bigger lifts than curls, deadlifts are great, rows are great, try to get in some pullups, chinups, or pulldowns, and then finish off with curls.
 
..cannot do any pull ups pull dows or things like that at home...

Can someone try to give me some sort of a routine?
Why should I avoid DB inclined Bpress? I fell them a lot...
And, aint push ups good for overall strenght?

I put two exercises for biceps coz I need to improve my arms...fell them a bit too tiny when unflexed...

Pullup bars are pretty cheap.

Re-read what I posted, I wasn't saying take out the DB incline, I said don't do them in the same workout as a shoulder press so you won't kill your delts. It's fine to do both of them, but alternate between them, one workout do shoulder press and a different workout do DB incline, or barbell.

Compound lifts work your arms, rows, pullups, deadlifts, etc...do more compounds and less isolations (like curls).
