Lololololol nice life... Jk but I train 2 body parts a day.

i train lifts, not bodyparts... and their respective accessory work, which all usually includes at least 2 or 3 parts... maybe more like groups of muscles i guess... but a lot more by instinct than by plan...

I always do one a day, once in a while i'll do 2

although im not a power lifter Moya i was gonna train for lifts 4 days per week, bench, overhead press, squat, deadlift with accessories but i need to get a good base back first. just getting ready to hit the gym after some injury time. im used to focusing on 2 parts per day, plus anything else those lifts might hit..core/shoulders etc. but i was thinking of switching from chest/tri and back/bi to maybe chest/bi and back/tri because i find since they are similar motions im already closed to gassed by the time i finish my main lifts. or possibly focusing on 1 body part per day.

Hey Moya, you ever try star complexes? and what is your opinion of them? please keep in mind im an... was.. an athlete not a bodybuilder or power lifter! Thanks

You really cant train just one body part. For instance if your training chest how can you bench with out using your tris and shoulders. So there is no reason to do a chest day then train tris the next when they are already torn down from benching. You are just hindering recovery by doing that and limiting growth. Train push muscles together, pull muscles together,and lower body by itself. The core should be trained several times a week.

Well I know it's basically impossible to train one body part only. What I mean is to only focus on one primary muscle. Example chest works out many other muscles but the day is based on chest. Couple days later you might do shoulders. Yes chest day would work out shoulders too but it would also get its own day, as would back, legs and arms. All without any muscles being done two days in a row.

I incorporate exercises for these muscles to target those areas as well. I.will do chest, shoulders and tris twice a week. The same for pull muscles and lower body. On chest I would do say bench, incline db, flys, shruggs, lateral raises, skull crushers, pushdowns. Not necessarily in that order. Then day 2 would be db press, shoulder press,close grip bench, incline flys, lateral raise, rope push downs. I dont feel the need to do 20 different types of chest exercises. The only people that this is really beneficial to is high level bb,as they already have a significant amount of mass and only need to fine tune it. The rest of the population needs to build muscle. That is best achieved through compound movements. So to answer your original question of how many body parts per session I work, its about four areas as I do abs every time I train.
