My Training Theory...........

[JKurz1]

Well, I've been attempting the 2-a-day theme for about 2 weeks now and I must say, I'm liking the results. Curious as to why more of you don't adapt the theory? If it's a timing issue, I understand, but esp. for the college boys, I think this is optimal. I train in the am (earrrrly) and hit a large bodypart (well, larger) either chest, back, quads or Delts for no more than 45 minutes. Then, I go back about 10-11 hours later (after 3-4 solid meals) and hit a smaller bodypart, bis, tris, traps, hams....for no more than 25 minutes and maybe some light treadmill work. Looks something like this:

M - OFF (cardio only)
Tues - Chest in am / Bis in PM...20 min of treadmill
Wed - Delts iin am / Tris in Pm....."" "" ""
Thursday - Cardio in am / Hams in PM
Friday - Back in am / Quads in PM

Saturday and Sunday and once a day where I incorporate any lagging bodypart and up the reps/'tempo.........


What do you think?

sounds pretty good to me.

I would be doing this if I had a home gym ( or was 5 min away from my gym)


Damn you do back and quads on the same day? I would be exhausted.

i havent yet...hmm...might do legs by themselves.....

You could always do back on Thurs. night (personally, I'd hit it in the AM, and do cardio in the second session), then do Quads Fri. AM, hams Fri. PM.

Also, when you say:

Saturday and Sunday and once a day where I incorporate any lagging bodypart and up the reps/'tempo.........

Do you mean you're training Sat. and Sun., or just one of those days?

Using one of those days to work a lagging bodypart isn't a bad plan, but I'd take an extra day off on the weekend

Anyway, it's good you're liking the results. Do you have any goals in mind for the immediate future?

Hey bro...good idea on the legs and I'll take you up on that...how do I like it? I love it....cmon, if you do 2 bodyparts together (i.e. chest and tris) how often do you say " Boy I dont feel like doing tris" if you just got done blasting chest.......this way, you get both bp in. You get adequate rest. And you get to fuel the furnace in between sessions. I'll admit, many times I dont feel like going back, but that's why I do a smaller bp in the PM............my goals? To put on some lean muscle mass (about 10-15lbs) over the next 6-8 months.............you ever used this style? The JKURZ style....lol....hey, make this a sticky....lol..........

4 days in a row aren't happening for me, especially after legs or back I need a solid day to recover. But time will tell if it works for you

 

[JKurz1]

3 days bro..friday will be all legs.........

 

[super_rice]

it sounds good, but even though they say your energy level is highest in the morning, i sure as hell don't feel it. i don't know if i can manage the larger body parts in the mornings

very interesting. I am in college and could very easily use this new training method. The thing is I always feel my strongest from about 12-5 during the day, working out in the early morning might be a struggle. I think with this type of routine each muscle group would feel very fresh when you worked them out.

If it works for you, that's great. But I don't think it's plausible for a lot of people for various reasons. For one, I don't have the time to go twice, two, my energy level is non-existent in the morning, and three I don't want to take 3 showers a day.
