Looking For A New Split....Need Some Ideas Post #1 | | Engineering Muscle

Height: 5'-10" Weight: 163lbs

For the last few months my schedule has been:
Chest/Back
Cardio
Shoulders
Legs
Chest/Back
Cardio
Off
Cardio
I want to change things up a bit and I need some ideas of what to do. I've been working legs every 7/8 days in the past, and have been seeing good results. Having said that, this might be a stupid question, but would it be bad if I changed legs to every 4 days, like my chest/back workouts are??
I've been thinking of:
Chest/Back
Off/Cardio
Legs
Off/Cardio
Chest/Back
Off/Cardio
Legs
Off/Cardio
What do you guys think? Any suggestions? So I can get some inspiration, what does your split look like? |

do chest and back on seperate days
there's my suggestion
If you want to do 2 bodyparts together, do chest/shoulders...
It just doesn't make sense to me to do two opposite muscle groups on the same day...unless you're giving one AM, the other PM and lots of food in between. | |

Thanks for the advice guys. For some reason, I can never do this on my own, so I appreciate the help.
Right now my goal is strength. I've been doing mostly low-rep work for all of my major lifts. | |

I'm not training for a sport, and I'm not planning to compete as a power lifter, so by process of elimination.....functional strength?? haha | |

Are you trying to increase your big 3? Bench, dead, squat? Or overall strength? | |

I am definitely trying to improve those lifts.
I'm still confused though. If I'm improving those three, isn't that the same as increasing overall strength. Sorry for my lack of knowledge about this, by the way. | |

No, people who focus on the big 3 definitly lift to increase those 3 only. Other things do strengthen as well, but your emphasis is on those 3. Check out the powerlifting section. Theres a sticky at the top for westside training. | |

Awesome, thanks. I've actually been thinking about getting into power lifting for the purpose of helping me overall.
So are you saying that I focus on only those three lifts? Because my main, long term, goal is to be bigger and stronger. Its just that right now I'm trying to get stronger. | |
