I have noticed better results if i train with medium to high intensity an train each bodypart twice a week. versus lifting insabe and only doing each part once. how about you guys :Chef: :dance2:
 
For me it depends on my schedule, any stress I am under and other factors. For me and many others making sure to add weight to the bar each week is the most important thing. Even if it's a 1lb metal collar, it's something. It adds up over time. So hit it once or twice, whichever is best for you at the moment. Just make sure to increase your compound lifts and eat lot's of quality food.
 
I do well training my body twice every 8 days...
 
Just switched from a 3 day cycle to a 5 day cycle.

Will be hitting every body part every 5 days.


Will do this for about 6 weeks and then change again.
 
I try to hit a push/pull/leg/off/push/pull split once a week

You're not going to increase it indefinitely or you'll be bench pressing 10,000 lbs eventually.
 
Once per week, they get hit indirectly on the other days.
 
Day 1 after a rest day / legs

Day 2 / chest

Day 3 / back

Day 4 / off

Day 5 / shoulders

Day 6 / arms

Day 7 / off


No screwing around on this schedule ... 1 hour solid on a single body part till it's totaly fucked .

Like back day i start off with bent over rows in a smith machine with 310 lbs and do 12 sets before moving to seated cable rows with 200 lbs, then bent over dumbell rows
with 160 lb dumbells ..... this is an aerobic workout and my hardest breathing of the week , back for is worse then squats when it comes to breathing and sweating .

There is no way in hell i can work a body part more then once a week considering the amount of compound exercises in my routine ... on back day my arms look like i've been dumbell curling for week by the time i'm done .

I agree. My current schedule

Mon chest cardio
Tues back (deadlift heavy every other week)
Wed Legs (squat heavy every other week) cardio
Thurs: tri/bi
Fri: shoulders cardio

critique if you will. thanks
 
Once a week for me. I train so hard I need four days just to recover.Trying to put on as much size as possible. Im only using compound movements. Rep Range 6 to 8. Trying to add weight each week or perform one more rep.

I get the same way when doing back LOL
 
back/rear delts/biceps
chest/front + side delts/triceps
legs
off
repeat

10 reps for first week then I go heavy and go 5 reps the next week!! Has been working VERY well.

Once a week, recovery is nice giving muscles plenty of time to rest
 
mon chest/biceps/forearm abs

tue shoulder/triceps abs/cardio

wed legs/back

thur chest/biceps/forearm abs

fri shoulder/triceps abs/cardio

sat legs/back

sun rest


thats usually how my routine is when im on cycle. And it is workin out pretty well. I usually cant finish a full upper body workout in 1 day how i use to do it, so with this split, my muscles are recovering faster.

Why only biceps and chest twice a week?
I do em every wednesday
they are my strongest bodyparts so I just train em once a week using some shock techniques
I hit my everything else with a heavy, low rep day and a moderate-heavy high rep day(kind of an AB system). works better for growth whereas I tend to gain muscle quality by doing more infrequent high intesity workouts. :coffee:
 
I think I am going to set my training routine so evry body part gets hit twice every other week that way it is a happy medium of the two

That's when you switch to another exercise and get brutally strong on that. That along with plenty of good food.
