Does anyone even do the one muscle group a week anymore?

Anyone still have a back day, leg day, shoulder/traps day, ect anymore or? I've been reading up a bit on the 5x5, seems interesting.

I'm sure the majority do, but that doesn't mean it's optimal. I haven't heard of anyone going back to their old one muscle group per day routines after trying full body workouts like the 5x5. Give it a go for a couple of months.

I used to be all about the one body part per week. Then, after reading about the 5x5 for a while here I decided to try it for myself. I have made some good results on a short 5 week run and I'm not even thinking about going back to my old ways.

I suppose it could be time for a change then.

I agree; I'm in my second week of the 5x5 SF routine and I was very skeptical at first. However, finishing up this week I have to say I'm sold. This program seems to be working very well.

I think it's a good thing to switch things up and shock your body. Keeping the same routine for years on end is unlikely to continue producing consistent gains.
