Hypothetical Weekly Work Out Schedule

I figured I would post what my weekly work out schedule looks like. A lot of people don't think it is necessary to split work outs into muscle groups on different days. Some people just go to the gym 4 days a week, and work out their "entire body" and do cardio. That is indeed one approach to working out, but I prefer to split my work outs into muscle groups on different days because my goal is usually to gain more muscle mass. You can't do that with only working a muscle group for one or two sets on the "entire body" work out in my oipinon. (ex: only doing one set of curls in a day for biceps) I could be wrong. Again, this is just my personal approach.


Sunday: Rest
Monday: Chest, Triceps
Tuesday: Legs
Wednesday: Back, Biceps
Thursday: Rest
Friday: Abs, High intensity interval training (hiit)
Saturday: Legs, Sprints

Lately I have been trying to lose body fat, so I've been swimming sometimes in the morning and lifting in the afternoon. I was only really strict about that for about 5 days, and it's kind of died down.

Since that stopped I've been trying to do at least 10 minutes on the stair stepper in "Fat Burn" mode on level 10. For the longest time I have not been doing any cardio (except an occasional 1 mile run before lifting) so I really have gained a lot of muscle and size, but now I am trying to cut some body fat away so I'm incorporating high intensity cardio after my workouts.
