Good start?

[Hockey Playa]

Last 2 weeks i've been doing 2 muscle groups per workout, in no particular order, or reason. Since its officially the start of my summer, i've decided to create a 3 day split, seeing that would be most realistic if i want to work/golf/party. Also consider im also training for a sport (hockey)

- BP
-Incline Press on smith
-Flies on flat
- Shoulder press or w/e with DB
- arm raises, with DBS

- Calf raises
- Lunges

I, personally would put deadlifts first.

"Another Shoulder Exercise" Rear shoulder raises
(bent over as if on the very beginning of a dealift, hold a weighted plate in each hand or a dumbell, thumbs pointed towards eachother when arms are hanging. the movement should you bringing the weight up as if your trying to touch your hands behind your back, keeping your arms extended)

*Chin Ups and Pull Downs = Same movement

"Another BI exercise" - Incline Hammer Curls (Lay on an incline bench, let arms hang all the way down, do hammer curls.)

*I would also prefer to do shoulders with back, triceps with chest

Thanks for the reply Skilla, So you prefer Deadlifts on monday?? also i dont see how chinups and pulldowns are the same movement....I mean pulldown like where you sit at the machine, and you pull the bar down to your chest, and it works your back. Thanks for the other 2 though

A. I meant deadlifts first in the routine. I don't really have a preference on which day though.

I would do it like this...

WEDNESDAY
(BI'S, BACK)
-Deadlifts
- Rows
- Chinups
- BB curls
- insert another BI exercise


Also, chin-ups (or Pull-Ups) are the same movement as pull downs. They both have a variation of grips.

The Lat Pulldown (which you are speaking of) requires you to bring your elbows to your side, flexing the lats.

The chin up also requires you to bring your elbows to your side, also working the lats.

The only difference in the two, is one is a machine that requires you to pull the bar to your body (pull down) and the other is free weights that require you to pull your body up to the bar (chin up)

Try to find a movie clip of both exercises done with an over hand grip. You will see the similarity.
