StevieD Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 158)	posted June 09, 2000 05:39 PM Day 1 - Front and medial delts/bi/f/arms/abs Day 2 - Quads/hams/calves Day 3 - rest (or cardio) Day 4 - Chest/traps/abs Day 5 - Back/rear delts/tri/calves Day 6 and 7 - rest This split means that your delts have time to recover before you hit them again on day 4 (you use a lot of delts doing chest). Your bi's have recovered before you do back. The only problem is chest then tri's on consecutive days (but this doesn't bother me like back following bi does). You will also see that I do calves and abs twice a week because they can handle it. IP: Logged
Steelheart Pro Bodybuilder (Total posts: 398)	posted June 09, 2000 05:48 PM Day1- Chest/Back Day2-Legs Day3-Delts/arms Day4-Chest/back Day5-Legs Day6-Delts/Arms a la Arnold! Kidding Seriously, I have always performed low set low reps infrequent training 3-5 days per week 40mins top. I have Arnold Encyclopedia. Had for about 5 years never followed it though. Think I should? It seems like overtraining but than again maybe its not. We are all led to beleive that infrequent training is the way to go, maybe it isnt? Ever notice that champs from yesteryear trained a whole lot more than the juice masters today? I was gonna try to do it next week, I am on 500mg of test and feel I need to work out more than 40mins per day I have so much energy! I have been training for about 7yrs and have always done low sets maybe I need to change? Arnolds theory is: 5 sets per exercise 3 exercise per large body parts 2 for small 2 x per week over 6 days.

Day 1- Shoulders, biceps, forearms, abs Day 2- Legs, calves Day 3- Cardio (probably swimming or the bike) Day 4- Chest, traps, abs Day 5- Back, tri, calves Day 6- rest or cardio Day 7- rest or cardio I was thinking about using some plyometric training on days 6 & 7, and maybe day 3. What do you guys think about doing that? ------------------ The power to endure pain outlives the power to inflict it...the harder the conflict the more glorious the triumph.
