I have heard from many people that for people who are small (145lb) and want to get fit and build muscle, that one should do more reps with less weight, opposed to say a 12/10/8/6 rep/set increasing weights on each set.

How do you fell about this?

Also, is it ok to have a 5 day workout, but work one group per day?

ie.

m - chest
t- bic
th - bike
sat - tri
sun - legs

No One?

If you're looking to gain some muscle size, I'd say go with heavier weight, less reps. I'd stick in the 4-6 rep range, personally.

As for your split, where's the back day? Here is one of a billion splits that could work:



Sun---back, bi's

Tues---chest, tri's

Thurs---legs, abs

Fri---shoulders



Also, you have to eat a lot to gain size. Hopefully, some more people will weigh in here with some suggestions.

Thanks for the input, slobberknocker

You said you're 145, so I am guessing you have a very fast metabolism......how tall are you? If you want size, I would stay away from cardio, you did say you want to be fit, so 2-3 times a week you could either run sprints or try to break your PR time i na 1 mile run, but no more than that......as for lifting, if you're a hardgainer, it might Not be the best idea to work out 5 x a week....I would do the 5x 5 on mon wed and fri or tues thurs and sat......or u could try this... Mon(chest and bis) Tues(Legs) Wed(Sprints or 1 Mile) Thurs (Shoulders and Tris) Fri(Back) Sat(Sprints or 1 mile run) and Sun (McDOnalds for breakfast, Burger King for lunch, Taco Bell for dinner, and a large pizza and a milkshake before bed)......stick to compound movements and basics and shoot for 4-6 sets of 4-6 reps on things like bench, incline, squat, deadlift, and aim for 3 sets of 8-12 on your assistance shit like curls and skullcrushers......email me and I will go into more detail if you want.....how does ur dietr look??
