Anyone here work one bodypart per day?

[Burning_Inside]

I just switched my routine around to lifting Sunday through Thursday, doing one bodypart per day for no more than 50 minutes, except tuesdays I do bi's and tri's together. And of course i'll throw in forearms twice a week usually along with abs. Was wondering if anyone else here does this and how it's working out.

Not a good idea.

Goddamn that was the most insightful post I've ever seen in my intire life.

Thank you.

At the moment my routine looks like this:

MONDAY : Back/Traps
TUESDAY: Shoulders/Forearms
THURSDAY: Biceps/Triceps
FRIDAY: Legs
SUNDAY: Chest/Abs

I think it's working great! Don't see any reason to do abs and forearms twice a week since they get a lot of indirect work.

My best/most effective split was one bodypart per day, but still did bis 'n' tris twice a week cos mine like it that way . . . I was working one bodypart A DAY, each part worked once a week.

Mon: B&Ts
Tue: Shoulders
Wed: Chest
Thur: B&Ts
Fri: Back
Sat: Legs
Sun: REST

Found the extra recovery time worked wonders. I had more energy for workouts and the workouts were slightly shorter so I could focus more intensely.

But like a fool I changed jobs and don't have time for that now . . .

i don't think its a good idea to train more than 2 days in a row,,training a body a day in my book equals overtraining,,,,

When I started working out again, I worked a couple body parts on most days. Here is my schedule:
Mon- Bi's and Tri's and traps
Tues- legs/Abs
Wed-shoulders
Thurs- back/taps
Fri- chest
Sat- whatever is lagging behind

I usually worked legs and traps on Saturday. I currently do abs 3 times a week, and only work traps twice a week (I think I was overtraining them, as they werent growing.) Working one body part a day is ok....just depends on the person doing it.

i've seen some good splits posted but i always believed in the 4 day on 1 day off. i go like this:

day 1-chest/tri's
day 2-upper back/bi's
day 3-shoulders
day 4-lower back/legs

worked good for me, but i'm also thinking about a little change, so i'm interested in seeing some posts here..
