how often do you lift?

[the_only_sepe]

I was wondering who has had better gains while on cycle, by giving your body a 2-3 day rest between workouts, mike mentzer swears by this stuff. He actually reccomends 4 days inbetween workouts.

i try to work out sunday thru thursday then take friday and saturday off then i start all over again on sunday, it also depends on how sore i am the next day, if i am sore as hell then i wont work out the next day,,

DON'T FORGET THAT MENTZER AND OTHER H I T GUYS USED HEAVY AMOUNTS OF STEROIDS-THAT IS WHY THEY COULD LIFT AT SUCH A HIGH INTENSITY ONLY 2 OR 3 DAYS A WEEK AND STILL GAIN HUGE SIZE

i train like mentzer tought (H.I.T) i train 3 days a week but i have gotten great results from training 2 times a week. i used to train like this...
week 1
mon:legs
thursaday: chest, Back
week 2
Mon: legs
thurs: shoulders tris bis
week 3
(same as week 1)
week 4
(same as week 2).....and so on.

i now train with slightly more volume and 1 more day a week. my intesity its still extremely high.
my current workout plan is like this:
monday: shoulder tris bis
wed: legs
fri back chest....

i am about to change my workout plan for the new year to an 7 day cycle like this....

Mon: shoulder tris
tues: back
wed off
thurs chest bis
fri off
sat legs
sun off

* note i am doing about 1-2 sets per exercise with and about 4 exercises per major muscle group and 2-3 exercises for bis, tris, calves etc

so i never do more than 8 sets total per bodypart.

i forgot to mention that i was all natural when i was doing 2 days a week. i feel like without drugs the body take a longer time to respond to the damage caused by exercise.

 

[OXANDRIN]

twice a week

i was actually training my chest back once every 14 days and my shoulder tirs bis once every 14 days but legs once every 7 days

 

[pgerardone]

4 days a week is all I can do as I work 60 hours a week. When I was in college I did five days a week but those days are over. I go sat. and sun. then I go two days during the week.
