Free printable exercise log now available on my website at Moses In Home Fitness. Many of you have asked for some sort of workout plan. Hope you don't mind me sharing my personal preference, which is 2 days splits. One day Ill do chest, shoulders, and triceps. The next day I'll do back and biceps. Always doing some sort of core work on each work out and stretching exercises.

The reason I train that way is because of what I have learned over the years. That is to workout hard, but to also recover just as hard. That's the only way you'll grow(see results) without getting injured. I seen it all to often before. The times when I pushed myself too hard were the times injuries were more frequent. Injuries are no fun and can set you back 8 to 10 months, maybe more.

Getting back to my point. Why do I workout like this? Training the chest, shoulders and triceps on one day makes perfect sense. All these muscles groups mainly work together, so they should all rest together. Example: Say I'm doing a push up for my chest. This exercise also works the shoulders and triceps. If you trained this way, your workout schedule would look like this. Monday, Thursday-Chest, shoulders, triceps Tuesday,Friday-Back, biceps. That's 72 hours rest per body part. That's an awesome recover time frame. You will have healed and be ready for your next workout. This exercise plan is injury preventive. Let me know how your workouts are going.
