[chris69]

This is were i hang so i want to ask you Bro's......How many times a week do you train the same muscle group ..Like BI/tri...Back..Legs...
(so that you don't overtrain) ! Do you change it up when your not "ON".

 

[OMEGA]

hit Every thing as much as possible without Overtraining

once a week wont do it.

So what is the minimum amount of time for rest of a muscle group before you work it out again?

 

[iceman7230]

Allow at least 48 hours between same workouts. I just read this in a muscle mag.

Never! Work out one or two body parts per workout

it just feeeeeeeeels so gooooooooood. I know I am being counter-productive but sometimes I can only train 1x MAYBE 2x a week so I "feel" like I need to get it in anyway I can. Sorry to hijack thread

2 body parts a day, twice a week here..switch the parts around every other week, seems to work the best for me either off or on, seems to be more intense and a lot stronger when on of course(LOL)

 

[advanced-stealth]

I blast each one 1x a wk

48 hours
I think 72 hours is good too.

1.5 times per week currently. Sometimes 2 times per week but it varies.

im only doing legs twice a week now, everything else once a week.....gains are coming great for me. I use High volume and intensity tho

 

[bigdofba]

When I first started, once a week didn't do anything for me. I started hitting everything twice a week and grew like crazy. My gains slowed and then I switched back to once a week. I'm getting good gains this time.

I don't know how to explain it. If you hit muscles once a week you need to really hit them. Pretty much kill them. If you work them out twice a week you don't need as much volume per workout. I hope that made sense.

 

[sopac]

I go monday,wendnesday,friday, weekends off.

 

[Thunderclap47]

I usually go 5 times a week. I don't always go on the same days though. I keep it mixed up.

 

[BIGMIke007]

I have 10 sessions a week. Normally 2 sessions mon, wed, fri
Ive been struggling to do more than one muscle group per workout cause I hate being in gym for longer than 70 minutes, start becoming paranoid bout being catabolic.

 

[glover]

Once a week on each body part. split so train 4 days per week rest the three other

 

[jumpmaster82]

I train every muscle twice a week and abs 3 times a week, with at least 30 to 45 mins of cardio ED.

Very sweet input, and as always this to seems to very(Bro >Bro)
Now i am doing moday/Fri= ARMS..Tuesday=LEGS..WED/Thur=back & chest..So my days off are weekends......I was doing the once aweek Arms but i was hitting them so hard that remember last week the pumps and strain left me having to rest for 5 days, pulled somthing ect... so the high intensity shit i can't do at this time...Twice a week with less strain seems to be the best For now..but great input from all...keep it pumpin like thie columbian Pipeline Bro's !
