Not worth it, I quit.

Re: Let's talk about training

Wrong, but you may be on to something.....

My workouts started out as:
Mon: Chest (4 sets 8 rep max on 8 on 4-5 different excer)
Tue: Back (Same)
Wed: Legs (same)
Thu: Arms (same)
Fri: Shoulders (same) All workouts made me a bit sore because 7 days past before I hit it hard again. The problem was that I was missing workouts, and was missing muscle groups for 2 weeks. So, I changed my workout to this to compensate:
Mon, Wed, fri, sun: Total body (less sets, but every set was to failure. Sets were about 2-5 diff exer)

I then switched to the Upper body/lower body every day to get more sets in, but again, I did miss about 10% of my workouts.

You need to forget the whole muscle group thing and the split bullshit concentrate on increasing key lifts. Go ahead and do some assistance work to round it out but the big 3 are:

Deadlift
Squat
Bench

These compromise 80% of your gains during a cycle. They enable you to gain naturally also. Eat a lot (esp. protein) and work these lifts up. Use reps in the 4-8 range and do 4-6 work sets (depends on # reps). Watch yourself gain weight.

I'm not saying muscle groups and splits are bad but old fashioned hard work on core exercises is what packs it on and keeps it on.
