Feedback on 4-Way Split?

Training
1

Hey guys. I’m new here, been training for like 10 months, with bad gains.
I think that is because I have not been taking care of my nutrition. But I am going to fix that, I’m pretty skinny not very much mass so now when the christmas break starts im going to get back on track. I found an article with a template on how to build ur program. So I read it and i created this, choosing exercises that i like and are comfortable with.
So what do you think? :slight_smile:

there was an article posted a couple of days ago with a decent 4 day split. You might want to check it out.

This was taken from the recent article written by Dr. Clay Hyght (still on the front page). The funny part about this post is that the intent of his article was to provide people with a fool proof system so that they don’t have to question whether or not it is a good routine…

one more thing guys, can i go to failure every set with this routine? :slight_smile:

Save it for the last sets IMO.

Well not really much to say at this point. It’s a perfectly fine program on paper since you took it as was written by an expert in the matter and plugged in suitable exercises. However, because we know nothing about you, your training and injury history, your possible mobility issues and imbalances and other critical individual characteristics, it is impossible for anyone here to say if this is a good program FOR YOU.

As I said, it looks good on paper. I think it’s a bit odd to train the abdominals twice per week but then again, this template was written by Clay Hyght, who is the man when it comes to bodybuilding. So the only thing for you to do would be to give it a try for at least a good 4 weeks (while eating properly) and then evaluate and adjust.

Best of luck.

Well he explained that for the power exercise, you want to ramp up the weight until rep speed is significantly reduced. For the strength, hypertrophy, and endurance type exercises, you want to leave one in the tank and maybe go to positive failure on the last set.
