so working each body part 1/week really works?

[kentucky]

I ended a full upper body workout last week, in which I was doing it every mon, wed, and friday.


Today, I stated a routine, and worked chest and tris. But I MUST ask.

Will this really work...It feels like I'm cheating. Only working each body part once per week, just seems like too long for recovery.

I know everyone does this but why? recovery, or what???

many people do different . But I belive with major compound lifts the muscles are use more than once a week. I mean if you squat your back is use to stabilize and then when you hit back you work that muscle again and most likely legs as a driving force behind your deadlift. Hopefully this will make sense

Sure working out once a week works. Everything works, at least to some degree. Will you be growing as fast as possible? No.

Once a week works wonders for me. I wouldnt have it any other way at this point in time, and I have tried twice a week before.

so why doesn't everyone (who it works for) work out twice a week?

I don't quite understand your question. I think that everyone who see's results off of 2x a week are in fact doing it. I didnt see the results I wanted off of training 2x a week so that is why I stick to once a week. And I make consistent PR's training this way so Im going to stick with it for a while atleast.

He means each bodypart once per week...

and yes, I do think each bodypart once per week is the best way to go...

I understand. And I still stand by my statement.
