Training Schedule Change?

[CNovaJason]

Hey bros, been currently on this training cycle for about 8 weeks and am looking to switch it up.....I was working each body part out once a week doing it as follows......Mon-Chest Bi Tues-Tri Shoulders Wed-Off Thurs-Back Traps Fri-Legs Forearms Sat-Off Repeat........But I am wondering since I am starting to reach a plateau could I switch it up to where I'm doing each body part twice a week? Say for ex...Mon-Chest Bi Tri Tues-Back Shoulders Legs Wed-Off Thurs-Chest Bi Tri Fri-Back Shoulders Legs Sat and Sun-Off?? This may kickstart me into some more growth.......but wondering what you guys' have in mind......any thoughts will be appreciated!

I loke the idea of hiting each group twice a week. I do three actually, but you might seperate back and legs. Some people dont realize how big of a muscle group your back is and it may hinder your legs workout or the other way around.
Heres mine. 3-4 sets for everything. Sat and Sun off.
Mon Squat-Bench-Power Clean-Millitary Press- BB Rows
Tues-Biceps 12 sets,cardio, plyometrics
Weds Deadlift-Incline Bench-Leg Curls-Db Laterals-Pull ups
Thurs-Bis, Cardio, Plyos
Friday-Lunge variations(walking, jumping, reverse, smith,ect)-DB Bench(inc+Flat)-Front raise-Reverse Flyes- Leg Extentions

sweet routine man, thanks for the input....sounds like a solid mass building routine.....

This type of training has always worked for me. Never had a problem gaining on this style but this is more necesity for me as an athlete.

I also thought of giving this a try.....maybe my regular routine that I've been doing for the first day during the week and then second time I hit those muscle groups I can do some drop sets, burnouts with one good heavy set.......or burnouts and drop-sets after doing a basic exercise like standing barbell curls or flat bench press with a good 3 to 4 set of moderate to heavy weight.......still any other thoughts would be useful.......thx for your responses so far though!

Do your drop sets and burnouts last. If you do em before you wont have the atp or probly even mental ability do do heavy sets after.

what are your goals for lifting? if you are into strength, go with a westside barbell workout

Well my goal is size right now since I am bulking.......I am going to do heavy workouts for the body parts the FIRST part of the week like MON and TUES then WED OFF then THURS AND FRI burnout and drop sets with one good heavy set before all of them.......more of a stamina workout to keep my muscles from fading out just working them once a week....I can't lift heavy enough on my own to grow(no spotters......work at home). So I will have to train twice......Thx for the info though guys.
