legs and back - heavy

[TheOak84]

the 2 guys i work out with do legs and bak on tue. i dont wanna do this because its not right, not the 2 biggest muscles in one day. so for the past 10 weeks i havent, but i want them to train the same muscles on the same day as me. so i said lets do this:

mon - chest, tri (light)
tue - back, bi (light)
wed - delts
thrus - legs
fri - tri's, bi's (heavy)

they said theyd think about it, but i need some reasons to tell them why its bad, they arnt very open minded.. they are strong as an ox though. but still. i want them to train right. anyone have a good way to convince them?

Have you ever trained that way before?

Arms should not be trained twice a week like that.

If you stick with that type of training you will have 16 inch arms for a while.

Why not pound them to the extreme in one session?? Devote 100 percent intensity in one session then let them rest.

If you need to train them twice a week, you are not doing the job during the first training session.

Agreed, also going to the gym 5 days in a row without rest is training suicide.

There's the answer. One body part a day and stay fundamental. Sometimes being simple is the easiest way to grow.

yes i know, my question was, what is a good thing to cinvince them that this way is bad.. so, just tell them they wont get bigger?

Here is a better split routine:

Day 1 - OFF
Day 2 - Delts and Biceps
Day 3 - Legs and abs
Day 4 - OFF
Day 5 - Chest and Triceps
Day 6 - Back
Day 7 - OFF

You should always train legs and back alone. This split provides plenty of rest, plus provides separation between significant muscle groups.

This is a split I followed for years before I started DC training.

As for your current routine, training arms twice a week is a mistake!! Learn how to devote 100 percent intensity during one training session.

Well basically I was telling you that your current devised routine is no good. . .too many training days. If you are currently at dollar sixty five, with 16 inch arms, I can't see how this routine is working. This is my opinion. Training more is not better. Like I said, you need to learn how to focus on 100 percent intensity on your workouts instead peforming a single with only 315lbs or constantly trying to max out on the bench to show off to your buddies. If you learn the mind to muscle connection and learn how to take a set beyond absolute failure. . . .there is no need to perform additional training days. . . .this is a waist of time. If you say you can't gain any muscle using less training days. . .your diet sucks!! Remember eating is part of the game.
