Expert: John Izzo Date: 1/4/2008 Subject: sprinting
Question and im 17. My question is how does this routine look to you. mon-legs, tues-chest, wed-back,thurs-off fri-shoulder, trap, and abs, sat-arms, sun-off. Also I wanted to put in some high intensity sprinting also, but when can i do that so i wont overtrain my legs? I also play hockey sat nights
Answer Your routine looks solid. I like the legs on Monday. I wouldn't do too much for the legs on that day--stick mainly with squats, lunges, and something else. Do your sprints on Wednesday with back. Keep Thursday completely off. If you feel that you are getting too tired/sore/weak, then, lay off the sprints during weeks you play hockey.
Hope this helps.
