lol sorry i typed it all wrong in a hurry and didnt proof read
this is the exact
day1 : chest and triceps and abs
day2 : back and biceps and abs
day3 :traps+ shoulders and forearms and abs
day4 : cardio+ legs
day5( sometimes): cardio+legs
1500-2000 calorie diet /110-160g protein a day
with protein shakes and pre work out drinks(preworkout drinks only 3 out of the 5 days).
apologies for the shitload of mistakes
and once you begin taking protein and other substances like vitamins,etc, you will suprised how fast the recovery process can be.
then you can begin changing the days you rest like you said but i find a every other day workout a bit lazy. sure as i first started i rested like you suggested but as the body adapts it becomes more neccesary to keep up the pace. Another factor that is important is the age and the endurance. As 18 im quite capable of handeling the lack of rest in between days.
His routine works for him, then fine.
The only thing that I see that I don't recommend or understand is that the calorie intake is a little low if you're trying to bulk up mass. This looks to me more like you're just trying to get cut and defined, but to an extreme. If you do your workouts intense enough like they should, you can easily burn 500-600 calories during weight lifting days alone.
Everything on the routine looks perfectly acceptable, except for working out abs two days in a row.
Your abs should be treated as any other muscle group in the body, give it atleast a day to rest. You'll see faster results build up as those rest days will help restore your muscle tissue for the next workout day.
My basic routine is:
Day 1: Chest/ Triceps
Day 2: Biceps/Back/Traps
Day 3: Legs + no more than 200-300 calories in cardio.
Day 4:Rest, or Start routine over again.
Every month I switch between the above and this + abs every other day.
Day 1: Chest/ Biceps
Day 2: Triceps/Back/Traps
Day 3: Legs + 200-300 calorie burn on cardio
Day 4: Rest, or Reset
It's been working fine, and I've gotten big gains so far. I don't like resting between workouts, I like to go to the gym atleast 3-5 days a week.
If you're serious about building muscle, taking a preworkout and eating right can help to achieve results at a steady pace.
Try a preworkout substance that contains some creatine, bcaa's+ a variety of other amino acids, caffeine, etc. Like bullnox, or Jacked. Just remember if you take a creatine supplement to always workout somewhat intensely, because if you don't, expect to build some unwanted mass.
