Hey PLDrummer, good to hear from you again! Alternating training days like that is a perfectly fine approach. One thing you have to look out for is not to overtrain due to sheer volume -- your total to-failure sets per week for all muscle groups should probably not exceed 100 or so. It's OK to go over that limit for a month or two but on average over the course of the year, you should probably be averaging less than 100 heavy sets/week or risk overtraining. So as long as you do less than 20 heavy sets on your weights days your plan should be fine. The only other thing I'd note is that you listed all muscle groups except your back! Don't ignore your back -- it's your 2nd largest muscle group after legs and has corresponding fat-burning potential! And if you keep track of your workouts in your blog here I might be able to give you some other pointers on optimizing your program. |
