going to start doing every bodypart 5x a week

What more can you say but..well put!!! I remember hitting each body part 2 a wk and your right abou the statement that all i did was do the same thing twice....and i wasnt able to handle the same workload the second time..muscles where still fatigued from their workout 2 days ago....

......So the primary factors at play are volume (the total workload over a period), intensity (a given weight's % of your 1 rep max), and frequency (the allocation of volume)....

there is no better way to describe total training load. its not about the body parts, its about the whole body.
