Is doing certain exercises daily beneficial or counter productive?
Hi friends! I've been weightlifting for awhile. Apologies in advance for the kind of lengthy post...
Currently I have been doing planks, side planks, crunches, scissor kicks, and push ups mon-friday.
I've also been doing
Monday: Dumbbell curls, dips, concentration curls, and triceps extensions.
Tuesday: Lateral dumbbell raises, shoulder press, and dumbbell shoulder shrug.
Wednesday: Russian twists, hell taps, heel touches
Thursday: Incline Dumbbell bench press, Flat dumbbell bench press, Incline dumbbell fly, and Incline delt fly.
Friday: Dumbbell suitcase squat, dumbbell calf raise, dumbbell sumo squat, dumbbell deadlift.
Last night I was chatting with gemini to get a decent idea in regards to if what I'm doing is actually best for growth and increasing strength. Gemini basically said I should make these adjustments
- Monday: Back & Biceps (Pull)
Bent-Over Dumbbell Rows or Pull-ups (3 sets of 8-12 reps) [CRITICAL ADDITION]
Dumbbell Curls (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
Concentration Curls (3 sets of 12-15 reps)
Dumbbell Shrugs (3 sets of 12-15 reps)
- Tuesday: Chest & Triceps (Push)
Incline Dumbbell Bench Press (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
Flat Dumbbell Bench Press or Pushups (3 sets to failure)
Incline Dumbbell Flys (3 sets of 12 reps)
Dips (3 sets of 8-12 reps)
Tricep Extensions (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
- Wednesday: Core & Cardio
Russian Twists (3 sets of 20 reps)
Crunches (3 sets of 15-20 reps)
Scissor Kicks (3 sets of 45 seconds)
Heel Taps / Heel Touches (3 sets of 20 reps)
- Thursday: Shoulders & Rear Delts
Dumbbell Shoulder Press (3 sets of 8-10 reps)
Lateral Dumbbell Raises (4 sets of 12-15 reps)
Incline Rear Delt Flys (3 sets of 15 reps)
- Friday: Legs
Deadlifts (3 sets of 5-8 reps)
Suitcase Squats or Sumo Squats (3 sets of 10-12 reps)
Calf Raises (4 sets of 15-20 reps)
My question is... Do you all agree? Is this enough? Should I really cut out the planks, side planks, crunches, scissor kicks, and pushups daily?
Thank you in advance!
