OT workout crew assemble!!! Need suggestions on daily routines

So for the past 3 months i have been eating clean as possible, putting in a ton of protein. And hitting the gym.
Mondays- Shoulders 45mins (run 1.5miles, bike 3miles)
Tuesdays-Legs 45mins (plus mile run)
wed-run 1.5, bike 3 miles, ab workout
thursdays-biceps 45mins (run 1.5, bile 3 miles)
fridays-chest and tricep-45mins
In addition to my meals, i take in a protein shake in the mornings, and post workout. I can definitely tell a difference over the past 3 months. My goal was to just get leaner.. and i believe i am. "Started 5'6" 167, now im 153lbs"
Here is the question.. I would like to see more difference in biceps and chest. But in afraid to mix in more on other days because i dont want to injure myself. I was doing back lifts also buy i quit because any pulling motion really really hurts my rotator. As long as im not pulling any rows or doing barbell my shoulder doesnt bother me. So should I stick to what im doing? Or can i add a couple bicep/chest exercises in on other days than the ones listed to get more results there and not risk injury from recovery time?

What are you cleaning your food with?
Posted on 3/24/15 at 1:09 pm to oleyeller
someone who knows a frick ton more than me will surely chime in, but I'm pretty sure that a full day of just shoulders a day of just biceps isn't really the way to go.

im interested in what kind of leg workout you do to be able to run a mile afterwards. I have a hard time with steps after my leg workouts.
Posted on 3/24/15 at 1:14 pm to oleyeller
maybe spend one day for chest and combine bi's and tri's on the other day?

Watch that clean eating. I've heard too much of it can turn you gay. Then you won't have anywhere to go on Sundays.

Congrats on the progress...
You could use some changing around, but listen to your body. Don't further injure that shoulder

This is a problem. If pulling hurts, you need to figure out why and address that issue.
You seem to be ignoring some of the most important muscles!
FWIW, I have generally adhered to a 3:1 Pull:Push ratio, and that has really helped with shoulder and posterior chain health.
If you are benching, you had better be rowing/pulluping/scap working too

I'm going to finish my second cycle of the original 5.31. wendler program then I'm going to hit three months of the Boring But Big 5.3.1 template.

So you are trying to add bulk to your Biceps and Chest?
You should be adding weight to each rep
3 sets of 6 and don't be able to finish the last set.
My chest (this cycle) is:
incline bench 3x6
incline flys 3x6
flat bench 3x6
I do a push pull type workout so I move on to back after this.

Bis are a small muscle and easily overworked, you don't need one full day dedicated to just bis. If you want to hit them twice a week you could do something like back and bis together early in the week and then bis and tris together later in the week. Just remember when you're doing back that it will work your bis a lot with it so you'll only need a few bis workout to fully exhaust them.
If your wanting to add mass to your bis, imo the best workout is wide grip heavy straight bar, barbell, curls.
Also remember your triceps are much more of your arm muscle so be sure to hit them hard as well to make your arms look bigger.
Also if you're running a ton and not fat you won't put on mass easily. It's good to have cardio, but how much depends on your goals. Be sure to take in good carbs and protein before and after your workout.
Good luck.

if you arent healthy enough to do back, you shouldnt be doing chest. rehab your shoulder
you should be working your abs more than once a week.

Just made it through about a page and a half of this thread and fact: not a single jackass on the OT lounge knows what works for you and your body. Go out to Barnes and Noble and buy a few books on lifting that are written by people that actually know what they're talking about and have experience with training people that have different goals, body types, experience levels, etc. and read them cover to cover.
Anybody that tells you that there's a definitive way to reach your personal goals is full of shite or has no clue what they're talking about. After you research different exercises, methods, and workouts that you think might work for you, the next step is to do each one for a while and see if it gives you results. If it gives you results, stick with it for a few months and then find a new workout to go to because your body's going to adapt and the old workout is going to quit giving you results.
My advice is this: nutrition/bodybuilding/supplementation is ridiculously complicated and you're going to have to sift through a ton of pseudoscience and bro science even from so called experts so either be dedicated and put a ton of time into googling, reading books, sifting through bodybuilding websites or just go on bodybuilding.com and use their workout designer for your body type and goals. I personally think it's fun and interesting to read about and do trial and error but if you don't then there's nothing wrong with just finding a prefab workout from bodybuilding, although long term you probably won't see as impressive of results as learning how and why to do certain things.
Also sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to be thorough so you don't waste a ton of time in the gym and get nothing out of it![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

Whatever you do, change the routine every 3 months.
