Are you doing shoulder isolation standing presses?
Anyho', did you follow that link - it was all good stuff.0 -
You could look at the push/pull split. That way you get full body workouts but still break some of the muscle groups up. I agree with the others that you should lift like would if you were building strength or mass. The deficit will keep you from bulking up. I do higher reps on some of my isolation lifts but for the most part I dont try to turn my lifting into endurance or cardio training.
My split is
Chest and arms
legs core
back and shoulders

I do:
M - Chest, shoulder, triceps (30 minutes)
T - Legs, Back, Biceps (30 minutes)
W - Cardio (20 min), abs (10 min)
Th - Chest, shoulder, triceps (30 minutes)
F - Legs, Back, Biceps (30 minutes)
S - Rest
S - Rest
There is no need to do much if any ab work if you are focusing on the proper lifts (compound lifts). I use to do 2 days cardio and abs, but dropped it and added a fourth lifting day instead.0 -

I do like the 4 day layout. Have you looked into Wendler?0 -

I have not, but I will look into Wendler.
The link I meant was the one on the MFP forum which takes you to another web site where the 4 ds w/o starts to make sense in terms of strength gains and how some fancy chemical conversion of protein is made in the MALE body causes better muscle growth and maturity.0
