CC I have been doing your 3 way routine you posted a while back in T-cell alpha way back. It is essentially chest/back/tris , legs, and back. I like this routine because my gym schedule is erratic and, although sometimes I am able to go 4-5 times a week, other times it�¢??s only 2-3. This routine, along with some personal modifications, has been working and I am seeing good progress, both in terms of poundage and asthetics.
I was wondering if you could recommend something with a bit more focus on one muscle group that still allows the flexibility of the above routine. I am sure I need a bit of focus on everything but I feel my lagging parts are my arms and my shoulders. Two specialization routines that focus on each of these yet still allow flexibility in terms of taking days off would be golden! THANKS!
