One major bodypart per workout session is the answer. Hip Hops' Rebirth 06-26-2005, 08:20 AM Hey thanks i been wondering that myself QueenofDamned 06-26-2005, 12:07 PM once again, i agree with the big man. one bodypart per week. try to hit a "large" bodypart (legs) than a small bodypart the next session (shoulders or arms) then back to a big bodypart (back) these are VERY large muscle groups and one must rest sufficiently after training them. you should feel entirely SPENT after doing a leg session. Bailey 06-26-2005, 01:25 PM so basically if it dont hurt when its time to go i didnt do it right ? :) TheWon 06-26-2005, 01:29 PM so basically if it dont hurt when its time to go i didnt do it right ? :) IMO - You should be exhausted, but not 'hurt' Korean&Proud 06-26-2005, 03:20 PM you never really should be hurt if your doing everything right, but like QOD and Won_Sib said you want to be pretty tired after a good excercise. give them a good run for the money. also, to avoid soreness and injury,thorough warm-ups and cool downs. K&P Bain 06-29-2005, 12:59 AM I think muscle soreness is not always related to how hard you worked. If you have done the same routine for along time you don't get the same response as you once did. THis is a good indicator it's time for a change in routine or exercise. Stick with doing most body parts once per week although I do traps and calves 2xs a week and abs 2-3xs a week. BigJim77 07-05-2005, 12:08 PM I train 1 body part a day currently I do the following: Mon Back Tues Bi's and Tri's Wed off Thurs Chest Fri Shoulders Sat Legs Sun off Bain 07-05-2005, 01:07 PM That's my 5 day split as well Steel Reserves 07-05-2005, 01:38 PM I like one body part per day, my split looks like this Mon-chest Tue-Back Wed-tri thru-bi's fri-shoulders sat-legs I've tried a variety of splits over the years but always seem to come back to this one, works the best for me. Sometimes I'll take wed. off and combine tri's and bi's too. SR Bain 07-05-2005, 02:28 PM I've tried to use 3 or 4 days splits before but I just can't do it. After I workout my chest, back, or legs I just can't put out the effort to work out my arms and shoulders. although it usually takes me 8 days to workout all the bodyparts (depending on how I feel after the deadlifts on back days) my schedule look something like this: mon-chest tues-shoulder wed-off thurs-back fri-biceps/triceps saturday-legs sunday-off morpheus 07-05-2005, 05:57 PM I cant figure out what works better lifting like doing upper mon wed fri for example or doing like 1 body part a week is it possible to grow that way? hell yeah you can grow that way heres my routine..4 on 1 off mon-chest tuesday-bi and tri compound sets wed-back thurs-legs&shoulders..its a killer i know friday-off repeat o yeah 100 mg prop/tren ed 10 weeks 50-75 mg anavar ed i never come off var :) fgump24 07-05-2005, 07:33 PM heres mine: mon-chest-bis wed-back-tris fri-shoulders-legs cardio: tues-thurs-sat: 30min moderate Bain 07-05-2005, 11:20 PM hell yeah you can grow that way heres my routine..4 on 1 off wow 4 days on? man i usually start to feel allittle over worked if i do 3 on 1 off for too long 4 would kill me. 2 on 1 off works for me but i really think 1 on 1 off it really good too Bailey 07-06-2005, 02:31 AM thanks for the info im switching it up gonna try to see if i can do it that way. my main thing is im trying to lose that little bit of stomach fat thats hiding my abs but yet still wanting to build my arms and legs is it possible to cut yet put muscle on? Bain 07-06-2005, 12:59 PM sometimes yes, most of the time no. If your brand new to weightlifting, have taken a long break and just getting back, or are on AAS yes. Any other time no. Make your goal. what's more important to you; getting bigger or getting leaner? If it's bigger try to add some good quality lean mass by eating clean then do a dieting cycle to cut up without trying not to lose all that muscle. If it's the opposite and you want to get lean now diet down then build up. I think it would be easier to do the first because having that muscle will make it easier to lean out. POWERFRK 07-11-2005, 10:04 PM I train 2 on 1 off: day1 chest/bis/calfs day2 quads day3 off day4 shoulders/tris/calfs days back/hams make the most of your time when at the gym, and make sure you are getting eating and sleeping thats what makes us GROW! LBM 07-12-2005, 02:01 PM I as well only work one body part per night. LBM |
