i usually weight train 5 days a week...
delts, legs, back, off, chest, arms, off.. this is my typical routine...
these days i m preparing for a weightlifting competition(the competition is aftr 4months)... i m under a tremendous pressure to participate in the competition...
so now i am practicing snatch n clean jerk on mon,wed and fri...
bt i am nt able to figure out wht to do on the remaining days.. i usually squat and deadlift on the weightlifting days.. bt i m seriously feeling an absence of a challenging workout for leg and back... the usual hypertrophy volume workout...
i have stopped working out pecs and arms owing to the weightlifting training n i m feeling some muscle loss...
please help me fill in those three days(in between the weightlifting days)... i can't dropout from weightlifting and i dont want to stop duin the usual volume workout...
So you're entering a weight lifting competition and you can't figure out anything challenging to do for your legs and back? Here's 3 to get you started...
Heavy DLs
Heavy Squats
Heavy Rows
Heavy in this case means weight you can 5x5 or less.

i am duin heavy deads and squats to supplement the weightlifting training... wht i wanted to knw was to how to incorporate bodybuilding training into it... on which days to workout back, delts and tris... the competition is at university level... so i dont want myself to completely dedicate all my training to weightlifting.. bt keep duin the usual weight training...

Then you are going to suck big time in the competition. That is a fact. Right now your competitors are doing training that suits the actual competition.
Search around for Olympic lifting programs, or better yet find a coach or someone else that knows what they are doing in that arena.

I may not be the most knowledgeable person here, but i assume when you say you are training for a weightlifting competition, you are competing to see who can lift the most right? Im just a little confused because you talk about hypertrophy/volume workouts, which wouldnt make a whole lot of sense if you are training for a competition.
If you are lifting for pure strength, why are you devoting a day to delts and a day to arms? All your workouts should incorporate big compound lifts. If you are doing heavy rows and weighted chins/pullups and still don't think you are getting a good back workout, then you are using bad form or not enough weight.
If you have been doing that 5 day split routine for a while, why not switch it up? Try doing a 3 day split of vertical push/pull, horizontal push/pull, and legs. You can go to the gym maybe 4 days a week, just use that 3 day rotation.
BTW, you're not texting. Removing all your vowels doesn't make it any easier to type and instead makes it much harder to read.

If you can't take the time and have the respect to type out your questions in a complete and concise format then why should we take the time to answer you? Like ECS said above, you're not texting.... this is a place where mature people gather to talk, discuss and share information. We type like adults here. Rant over/////
