Poll: How Many Times Do You Train Muscles Weekly?

[progymrat]

Once per week. Excepts abs.

Mon - Chest
Tuesday - Bi's
Wednesday - Back
Thursday - Legs/Calves
Friday - Tri's
Saturaday - Shoulders

I do some ab work everyday and a day or so of intense in there somewhere.

I train VERY intense and I think this is key if you are a once a weeker like myself, I litterally destroy each bodypart and I NEED a full week to recover from it, on cycle or off.

but why do you do primary and secondary muscles next to eachother like bi's then back shoulders tri's....... why not do
Mon - bi's
Tuesday - chest
Wednesday - Back
Thursday - shoulders
Friday - legs/calves
Saturaday - tri's

What about the super 20 rep squat thing that hits every muscle three times a week?

 

[Chincheck]

I train my muscles 4 days a week...

I train certain muscle groups 1-2 times a week.

In my routines, my chest, biceps, triceps and back are my main target. . . i think 3 times a week a do this muscle work outs, 12times per sets, 3sets in every program. . .

 

[InGreatShape]

Yeah every other day is the best way to exercise your muscles, for the beginner it should be the best way. . . And if you ask me, i also prefer 3 times a week. It also relaxes your body. . .

I lift on an eight day schedule, because I work rotating shifts on an 8-day schedule.

Day 1 - Chest/Bis/Abs
Day 2 - Back/Tris
Day 3 - Shoulders/Abs
Day 4 - Rest
Day 5 - Chest/Bis Abs
Day 6 - Back/Tris
Day 7 - Shoulders/Abs
Day 8 - Rest

I'll switch it up depending on soreness, but it generally goes like this. So I hit each muscle group about every 4 days. I try to do different lifts each day for the same body part. Ex. Day 1 I'll do flat bench, decline bench, and flys. Day 5 I'll do incline bench, db press, decline flys. So I'm doing different lifts for the same body part each workout. I've seen tremendous growth from this split, so I've been sticking with it for the past 6 months.
