Intermediate deltoid routine that builds all three sides & your traps!

This is a BIG step in your bodybuilding progression, moving to working a muscle group twice a week along with just a few other bodyparts in your workout instead of the whole body. This great because your gonna have more time to focus on building strength and the muscle mass needed to achieve your bodybuilding goals. Splitting your workouts like this allows for a more specific training program that targets not just the big movements but also includes some isolation ones as well.

Standing Barbell Presses
Seated Barbell Presses

Routine Notes:

Warm up on a stationary bike for 5 minutes before each training session. The routines shown above will familiarize you with some solid muscle building exercises. Strict adherence to this routine can result in significant gains in size and strength in a relatively short amount of time.

This is your Intermediate shoulder workouts as it is part of a pushh/pull program. All exercises should be performed in straight set fashion moving from one set to another, then one exercise to another. Two workouts a week on the following schedule:

Monday: Chest / Shoulders / Triceps
Tuesday: Legs / Back / Biceps
Wednesday: OFF
Thursday: Chest / Shoulders / Triceps
Friday: OFF
Saturday: Legs / Back / Biceps
Sunday: OFF

Conclusion - This schedule is a big step up from your beginning program as it will tax your body twice as hard as before. You will need to increase your calories and follow good recovery protocols so that you are ready for each and every workout. This is the main reason we don't like allot of routines on the web and other places that give split routine like this to beginners when if followed to the 'T' this routine would tax anyone. Get your rest, eat your meals and attack the program and grow!!!
