5FIT (C1 : W1 - Chest/Shoulders/Triceps)
It's the dawn of a new era! Alright, less dramatically, I'm starting a new custom split. I'm calling it 5FIT for reference, short for 5-day Fitness Interchangeable Training. No marketing aim... just have to call it something for a title, and hey, it gels with the FitOfficial tag. C# is the cycle number, this being the first cycle. W# is the current week number of this cycle.
The overall idea is to hit supporting muscle groups the first two days, legs the third, and antagonist muscle groups the next two. The goals are muscle confusion, growth, and fat loss. I'll add in two to three sets of cardio per week, but not enough to stymie any muscle growth. For reps/sets, I'll follow this general pattern:
Major Muscle Groups: 3 exercises/workout, 7 total sets, failure @ 8-10 reps/set
Minor Muscle Groups: 2 exercises/workout, 5 total sets, failure @ 8-12 reps/set
Abs and Calves: 1-2 exercises/workout, 4-6 total sets, <15 reps to failure
Major muscle groups are chest, back, legs, and shoulders (front/lateral and rear/traps grouped together). Minor muscle groups are biceps and triceps. Forearms will be done on day 5.
First day went well, but I'm already thinking of shifting the arm exercises I had planned for day 5 to days 1 and 2, sort of making day 5 the heavier arm exercises and days 1 and 2 the more supplementary lower weight exercises. I'll follow through with that next week and improve other spots as I go.
