This week is actually heavy chest.

Should I do more than one heavy day a week thou?

Like heavy chest and a few days later heavy arms?

Just my personal theory but I try and go relatively heavy every day. Usually pick a core lift for each bodypart and will push in the 4-8 range on that lift. Then I will hit 10+ on all my auxillary lift for that day. My log has a detail of each of my workouts if you wanna check it out.

Last week was my creatine loading phse 20g a week.
Also was my first week on Pump Fixx (pre-w/o).

I cannot get enough of that stuff! Great pumps, energy, and focus.
No crash and the energy isn't jettery, it is sustained throughout my hour-hour and a quarter workouts.

This week is a maintenance phase 10g of creatine a day pre and post w/o.
Pump Fixx, still haven't need more than 2 scoops.

I am changing up my split as suggested by someone in my Welcome Thread.

Mon- Legs
Tues- Off (low intensity cardio probably swimming after legs...)
Wed- Chest/Abs (low-it cardio separate from w/o)
Thurs- Back/Calves
Fri- Off (same as Tues, probably jogging 30-40min separate from w/o)
Sat- Shoulders&Upper Traps/Abs (low-it cardio separate from w/o)
Sun- Arms/Calves

Sounds good, I'll try to hit a lower 4-8 rep in one of my main body parts every w/o from now on.

Would something like flat bench for chest be good, and then some thing like incline the week after?

I like Mayo's idea of adding some heavy weight in there, you need to start shocking those muscles and get them growing.
