is it ok to workout everyday?

[mademale]

Ive been working out about 6 days a week but the thing is one day ill do chest legs and tris , and the next day i do back shoulders and bis... is it ok to workout 6 days a week like this considering i'm alternating muscle groups?are my muscle still getting rest or the rest they need i should say.

Its not just the mucsle worked that needs rest its your whole body after a taxing workout. Some people can do it though but in my case i get better results if i take a day off after each workout sometimes 2

yeah IMO i agree......i think takin the weekend off actually helps....rest is a key part.....and over workin a muscle before its healed might be somewhat bad.....just my opinion tho

agree it is much better to rest in between. For example, if you worked all out your chest and triceps on one day. And the next day was your shoulders day - your shoulders would feel a bit weaker than average since on chest day you most likely used them to work out partly during your varying chest workouts. It MIGHT be ok if one day you did shoulders and then you wanted to go to the gym the next day and did legs. Totally different places so it would be OK in theory but still better to rest.

you might want to consider - if you really are motivated to go everyday just go 6x/week and lift 3x/week and do some cardio 3x/week. Take it from me - cardio is the biggest pain in the ass - but doing it while lifting gives you results - at least it has given me results. Ask others what they think - this is just my advice on the matter though bro

so upper body and lower body i should split? and should i do chest,tris,bis,back,shoulders all in one day and do legs the other days? would that work?

no, not necessarily saying that. I'm saying if you absolutely want to go to the gym let's say monday - and you life chest/triceps. If you are completely free tuesday and HAVE to go to the gym - lift legs i would suggest. I would definitely not lift shoulders at that time. It is much better to lift 3x/week and keep them isolated with a day of rest in between:

such as:

monday: chest/triceps/abs

wednesday: Back/biceps/abs

friday: shoulders/legs/abs

then do some cardio in between if i was you if you wanted to go to the gym - no lifting though if you want the best gains.

so i will get the same or better gains by going 3 times a week opposed to 6. well i guess i can do cardio in between cause i just dont fell good if i dont work out some evry day. but if i get mor gains then ill try it thanks man

well i'm no PT or professional body builder but i do know that lifting 3x/week gives your muscles time to recover and build up - lifting on a musle frequently (especially if you are not very well rested) can be very bad for gains. I believe many here say muscle deteriorates if you work it out too often, which isn't what we want needless to say. cardio will be good: i just started 30 mins on the treadmill, 15 minutes elliptical machine, 15 mins to finish up relaxing in the sauna. Great 1 hour workout for losing fat .

no problem bro goodluck post up if you have other Qs.

 

[mademale]

do u run or walk or both cause i can only run for like 4 min straight lol.

what kinda advice is this you crazy mofo? lol..dont take this one seriously mademale

I usually walk, jog, and run. start by walking maybe a lap or 2 on the treadmill. Then light jog for about a lap. walk again a lap. then sprint on it for maybe 2 laps. then walk some more then jog some more. and sprint ONCE more after and you should be done in 30 mins and sweating a good amount. I am a horrible runner so don't feel bad if you're no marathon guy. I like my strategy because i can still burn alot of cals and spend a half hour on the treadmill as long as i take alot of walk breaks for short amounts of time.

i would suggest atleast taking a day out of that i was working out 6 days a week and it was a strain on my whole body. Currently i work out 4 days a week upper body mon and thurs. and lower tuesday and friday however i run 5 days out of the week for 1 hour and a half a day and it seems that cardio gives me very good results not to mention u do work out ur legs while doing cardo.

If you are able to train without fatigue, I don't see why not.

Overtraining is systemic, not paticular to the muscle trained.

 

[wutangnomo]

Depends on the intensity of your workouts. If you're not working out intensely (ie you're a pansy), then you can workout 20 times per day. If you're working out very intensely you will need time to rest and recuperate not just your body physically, but your CNS. You don't want to burn out your nervous system.

GENERALLY speaking, if you're working out a bodypart correctly and intensely, then you shouldn't be able to work that bodypart again in about a week (this is not taking into consideration drug use, years of training, diet). If you are able to workout that same bodypart again within a week you probably didn't hit it hard enough the first time around.

Lifting 3 times a week - focusing on progression on the big lifts - squat, deadlift, bench, OHP, pull-ups and rows with some accessory seems to work best for me.

 

[HERPECIN]

i lift 7 days per week

with adequate calories and rest I continue to grow

 

[Extra_Strong]

if you are going to do cardio anyway and you are still going to go to the gyme 6days aweek it is about the same..
