I've been following a workout regiment that I got from EAS's website a long time ago and I love it. I've seen great results from it but I'm wondering if I shouldn't switch to a different routine to switch it up.
day 1 chest shoulder tri
day 2 back biceps forearms
day 3 legs and abs
each muscle group has 3 exercises. 1 compound lift and 2 isolation lifts.
ex. chest would be (1) Bench Press 3 sets (2) flys 3 sets (3) pullovers 3 sets
Shoulders (1) military press (2) lateral raises (3) shrugs
tri (isolation only) tri ext, rope pulldowns, kickbacks
I rotate the days each week and do cardio on off days.
That being said, it seems that lifting grouped muscles used to be the standard for lifting back around 2000. Now it seems that everyone has gone to a more full body approach (I'm guessing because of the crossfit boom)
Is there something I'm not getting? It seems that working grouped muscles would be beneficial so that your body keeps it's intensity in the same area and isn't flopping back and forth between muscle groups.
Any thoughts?
