    Is there are reason you are doing a body building style split workout? Are you an experienced lifter?

    If you are relatifvely new to lifting (less than 2 years in) you would be much better servied by a 3 times/week full body routine, versus the Bro split you put up

    If you are relatively new to lifting (less than 2 years in) you would be much better served by a 3 times/week full body routine, versus the Bro split you put up above. Take a look at strong lifts or strong curves, starting strength, as examples of great beginner full body workouts.

    Ive actually been lifting for several years now! I just started using mfp seriously and hence the question about calories burned. I've been lifting and going to the gym for 10 years now. I started off a little over weight...175 at 5'5 and got down to 130 at one point - now I've been in the 142-149 range (up and down) for the past 6 years. I lift more to just try to tone and maintain a healthy physique...
