Since you told me to trian more often, I was wondering. I am a swimmer, so majorly I train for swimming. Now I have just started my season and and doing base training, not that much swimming, but a lot of gym, I am thinking to either split my weel a 5-split, basically one body part per week or do, if you could say so, a more ambitionous 6-split which would be 2*3-split, meaning training each body part twice a week. Which one would you think is better. The goal is to get some strength without the loss of flexibility; loss of speed or bulking up especially much (there is no danger of the last one I think, since I don't take any steroids).
Actually I laugh often, because many swimmers, especially girls, train the whole body in one day, becase they say they don't want to bulk up. I usually reply: "Go and try to bulk up, if you will succeed, I'll give you a 1000 bucks" :) People see the covers of bodybuilding magazines and think it is so easy to bulk up :)
Anyways thanks, a lot for all your answers :)
 
I'm doing a day split right now, each bodypart 3 times a week, but I do 1-3 sets per bodypart. Alot of supersets and striping sets though. Training each one twice a week is probably fine for your needs.
 
No one ever made that statement (it takes a week to recover and grow) before menzer of jones. Most of your old pros, arnold for example, seemed to make pretty good gains training every body part 2 or 3 times a week. Especially considering the doses of drugs they used and what they had available. Wonder why bodybuilding is the only sport we see that preached in? Most world class atheletes in other sports train body parts multiple times a week, and some do whole body routines as often as 5 times a week. These are often times gold medal winners. I used to buy into that logic, but in the world of excercise science and sports it is laughed at.

If this interests you, you might want to spend some time at the training board. This seems to be a hot topic there.

i see where your going, If ur talking about sprinters, and similar sports, they dont Do heavy weights everyday and training fast twitch and evenly training full body muscles works well several times a week.
