5 Day Workout Routine

Lots of different suggestions are overwhelming your head and your mind. It is always the same

question. What workout routine should I follow or which one should be the next after the one I am on

right now? I will give you some reasons why a 5 day workout routine must be a part of your annual

training schedule.

Firstly, we have to make it clear that you have to alter your workout routine after 8 to 12 weeks the

most. Try to divide the year into 8 to 12 week periods and set a workout routine for each period. That

doesn't mean that you should follow a different routine for each and every one of the periods I

mentioned above. You can repeat a workout routine after a certain period of time.

For example, if your goal is to define your muscles, then a 4 day workout routine with 2 body parts for

each workout day is fine. If you wish to build your strength even a 3 day routine will do it. At the

begging of the season, as I have written in a previous article, cardio exercise must be your first

priority. However, when it comes on gaining muscle volume my best suggestion for you is doing the 5

day workout routine where each body part gets its own workout day. Devoting the whole training for a

single muscle part will allow maximum blood stream to it and therefore, maximum growth.

I would begin on Monday with my chest, Tuesday - Back, Wednesday-Arms (Super-sets), Thursday-

Shoulders and finally on Friday, I would work on my legs. You can do your abs training on Saturday

and rest on Sunday.

Should you choose to follow this 5 day workout routine you have to keep in mind two important

things: a) as you can understand this is heavy workout routine. So, don't exceed the 8 week limit in

order to avoid muscle over training and b)Prior this routine, work on yourstrength trainingfor a couple

of months. The results will be even greater!
