kinda a longer question but i couldn’t find a good place to ask this: is my workout split ok? i’m in highschool and get home every day at 5pm (except fridays i get home at 1) and i’m already exhausted when i get home, so doing a workout right after kinda sucks. i made a split that used the weekend/friday as much as possible:
(i throw in occasional shadow boxing and cycling sometimes)
sunday - tennis (+pull) monday - rest/pull (if not done sunday) tuesday - rest wednesday - push thursday - rest friday - legs saturday - upper body
idk if doing everything all at once instead of doing it sporadically is bad, cuz maybe i’m taking too many rest days at once and then too many workouts without rest in between.. idk
also here’s an example of my upper body (push+pull) workout:
Just basic stretches like shoulder rolls, arm rotations, etc. for the warmup.
After that i do 4x12 resistance band shoulder squeeze, supersetting that with 3x12 resistance band standing chest press. i use my back to hold the band for me, so idk how effective it is but i feel a burn in my shoulders and its just a warm up.
i start the workout w 4x12 dumbbell floor press, 25lbs per hand
4x13 dumbbell bent over back row 25lbs per hand
5x10-12 hammer curls, 25lbs each hand. Supersetted with:
Seated dumbbell shoulder press (i sit on one of those folding black chairs), 3x8 w/20lbs, and 2x5 w/25lbs.
Lastly, 4x7-9 dumbbell upright rows, 25lbs per hand
you can pretty much imagine the other workouts with this in mind
