How do you work out?

[LoneTree]

How many repetitions and how many sets for each body part.
How often you hit every body part?

 

[babbabuee]

sets/reps varies for me. what counts to me is INTENSITY. I can sometimes finish a workout with fewer sets, but higher intensity. but for the most part, each body part about once a week.

bigpapa, nice split, similar to mine.

- chest
- back
- delt/traps
- bi/tri
- legs

take days off when I feel I need it, like today. also, I think I'm gonna throw the rear delts in with my back.

[BOOEY]

I keep my reps low around 6 and my split is

M- Chest
T- Back
W- OFF
T- Shoulders
F-BI/TRIS
S-LEGS
S-OFF

Same exact split but I do back before chest. Reps vary each workout, sometimes I'll do 8-10, sometimes 3-6.

 

[shamrock11]

Cool. I try to keep them low while I'm on and ramp up the intensity. I'll work each muscle to complete failure.

I'm noticing a lot of you have 5 days on and 2 off. I notice that one of your days is bi/tri. Have you guys found this helpful? I may try it. Here is my split right now.

Back/Bi

Shoulders
Legs

[big4life]

I usually do 4 sets of 4-6 reps on the compound lifts.

My routine is this.

1- chest and biceps
2- back and triceps
3- shoulders and traps
4- legs

My days off will vary according to my work schedule.
