I’ve almost always had a routine of working out 6 days a week with the 7th as the day to rest. Whenever I’ve reached a plateau in weight gain I’ve tried to change something to get a different and better result. These days though I question whether or not I can gain more from the effort by letting the muscles fully recover before breakdown again. I’ve tried EOD workouts with some minimal results but for only a short period of time. Anyone else have experience with this?
 
I feel ya, bro. I work out 6-7 days a week and find it hard not to go to the gym twice a day! At nights I work the legs. I work each bodypart 3x week. On Sundays I'll work out some bodypart that has had enough time to recover from last workout or some lagging bp, or do cardio...

I also change my routine once I hit a plateau. I'm a gym addict. I admit that, but i don't think there's anything wrong with it if you play it safe and give each bodypart 48 hours rest. Once a week I max out for 3-4 sets on each exercise to somewhat hasten my gains/strength and help keep track of my progress.

......

OOOHH HOW SWEET IT IS!!
 
I workout 5 days on with one day off then repeat on a five part body split,I've found that works best for me...and helps eliminate me from over training in most cases.different plans work for everyone tho,so I don't want to generalize for what works for everyone else.I will probably end up changing mine around if things start to stagnate and I stop growing,so far they haven't...so far so good imo.

Tricky question. For guys who are newer to lifting I'd say 5-6 times a week. When you start getting into heavier weights its not so easy. Injuries have been terrible for me over the last 2 years. Finally back on track. Sitting at 235lbs without having to struggle to breath. If your joints can handle it I'd say more the marrier.

Same thing I'm thinking. Been training pretty hard for the past 6 years where I used to be 180 to now 225 and I find myself either getting multiple injuries or a high rate of muscle fatigue which only allows for 1 hour workouts.
 
I workout 4 days, then 1 day off, then 4 days, 1 day off....dont know how may times/week that comes out to...but it works for me.
 
One of the reasons guys gain on HIT is because they're simply less active. You'll gain more fat. Doing cardio to burn the fat is working against yourself.

I believe there's too much worry about overtraining. In general, the more you work out, (heavy) the more muscle you build. After that. it's up to the amount of calories you take in. (And sleep).
 
I think it all depends on the individual.

If you personally have the mental drive and determination to train hard, eat and sleep 7 days a week then good for you. The real question is, how long can someone maintain that high level of performance before your mentally wasted.

Some guys are all about never missing a day in the Gym. Sure, consistantly getting into the Gym is key, but if your just going through the motions and chatting it up 20% of the time what good is it?

If thats the case, I would rather see you work out EOD and spend the extra time at home eating and getting some extra rest...both mentally and physically.

Being on the sauce puts people under even greater stress to never miss a workout or workout even more. If your sore, tired, burned out etc...go ahead and take an extra day of rest, eat and sleep. Your only going to come back that much stronger the next day. Forcing yourself through workouts makes absolutely no sense. It just invites injury and adds to your mental anguish.
 
This is not what you want to hear,


But take one whole week off, then come back and hit it hard,


I am taking this week off, been going non stop for 6-7 months.
 
I find that as you grow more experienced you learn to be a bit more instintual with your training.
there are times during the year I train 4 months straight without taking a day off maybe 3-4 hours a day and make tremendous gains.
other times I may only train 3 days a week for 45 min

it really comes down to synergy. if conditions are optimal, train optimally. if the body needs rest then give it rest
in my experience the guys that make the best progress are the guys most in tune with what thier body needs and simply listens to it
 
I gain the most size and strength training 3 times per week, concentrating on the powerlifts for low reps, and backing that up with some basic isolation work (fly's, curls, extensions, leg raises, ect) for medium reps. I love to lift, but I'm highly prone to overtraining even on a heavy AAS cycle while eating 6000 cals a day. Not getting enough sleep is a problem for me.
I don't subscibe to the HIT theory, but don't under estimate the importance of rest in a bulk up routine.
Now when it's time to lose some of that bodyfat - that's a different story.

Good stuff. I think people really overestimate their muscles sometimes. Even when you're not sore day after a workout, your muscles are still repairing themselves and when you hit those muscles again, you stop the rebuilding of the muscle.

Not to mention your central nervous system gets fried with the heavy demands of moving maximal weights.
 
I agree with this.

If anyone you ever took time off work just to hit the gym (like I did the last 2 months) and you workout for like 4 hours a day 7x a week... It's taxing. I couldn't get out of bed. Tired all the time. Falling asleep at the wheel.

Get your rest and lift heavy (joints permitting)

I train all body parts once/wk in 5 days.
Have tried doing it twice, but the same thing always happens, my weights stall.
Hitting em hard once a week works best for me.
Like some other guys said, listen to your body.
If it's telling you that it needs a break then don't be afraid to do it, it may be the best thing for you at that time.

I wish I had the intellectual ability to explain this fully from memory, but I don't.
The basic concept is that when you lift weights, it's not only the muscles doing the work. First your brain has to coordinate the movement and send commands through the CNS (central nervous system) to the motor nuerons that fire the muscle spindles, that contract the specific fibers that move the bones/joints that move the weight. This is a grossly inadequate explanation, but hopefully you get the idea that it's a lengthy chain of events needed to move a simple weight.
The heavier the weight, the more it fatigues the CNS, and the more rest is required.
Like everything else, some people have the genetics to handle huge work loads, and some like me don't.
Despite having weak recovery abilities I've managed to make good size and strength gains by learning my body, and trying not to over stress it.
 
I used to train 5 days a week and was never able to get to the next level, I chatted with some pros some years back and found out one thing that people keep forgetting and that is YOU GROW WHEN YOU REST AND SLEEP AND WHEN YOU EAT NOT IN THE GYM.

I now train 3 days a week 30min a day, changing my workout help me beat all my brick walls............
 
If your workouts are total garbage then you can workout 7 days a week without issue...

72 hours is much more than enough rest for muscles to recuperate from an intense workout.
 
sunday-off
monday-chest and tri's(pushing movements)
tuesday-legs, mainly calves
wednesday-off
thursday-back and bi's(pulling movements)
friday-touch up day, shoulders and anything that needs work.
saturday-off

i limit my workouts from 45 min. to about an hour.

thats how it looks for the moment (constantly changing by the month)

How long you need til you workout the same bodypart again all depends on how good your recuperation time is, if your on AAS obviously it will be less. If you have good quality sleep and your taking supplements 48 to 72 hours is sufficient.
 
I have trained many different ways, but lately I do two on one off. But if I feel my body needs a break then I take an additional day off.

No matter what eat, eat, eat.
 
When off gear, you need more off time since recovery isn't as quick. When the hormones are plenty, which most of the time they are, i don't need as many off days. Like Wulfgar said, its individual, listen to your body and learn to recognize the signs of overtraining.
 
Like others said, I let my body tell me when i need a break. I have a habbit of wanting to go full body everyday but when my body needs to rest it lets me know.
 
I am with you,I am 32 with 3 kids,a business,and a wife,so a solid 4 days a week,each body part once a week,with key compound lifts weekly(deads/squats)and bench.Is good for me,an occasional 3 days workout week when needed.I found my body is certainly changing from when I was 25 or so,definately need more recovery time now,and injury prevention is much more important.I know much more now what my body "can and cannot do."

Just cause Dorain Yates became Mr. Olympic by going 1 hour a day if thats even true (he could be bullshitting) it doesnt mean everyone should be doing that.
 
Ah no1, you again. Your right, only people who want to be Mr. Olympia should follow Mr. Olympia's advice.
-If your want to be a great plumber, learn from a plumber, If you want to be a millionaire, learn from a millionaire. If you want to be Mr. Olympia...
Once again do your research. People will only value your opinion if it is backed by facts. I love to be wrong. and I encourage any argument, but saying that's buul s!*t and F*$k that do not serve to validate your opinion or attract respect.
 
3 days a week lifting heavy is enough for me. Time off is just as important as time training and food intake.

Same here. Active recovery on off days is nice, just some light snatchs/cleans to keep my shoulders loose. With my metabolism is hard enough getting in enough calories to keep the weight gain going, up to 200lbs was fairly easy, getting more difficult now.

If you guys enjoy being at the gym that much, more power to you.
 
My split is: Monday: Pecs/Back/abs, Wednesday: Legs/Calves/abs, Friday: Shoulders/Arms/abs.

I do mostly compound lifts (ie: squat, bench, deads, upright rows, clean and press etc). So with overlap, most muscles are getting hit more than once a week. I find it very hard to eat on days I train. My body just feels too hyped up. I use my off days to rest and eat like a horse, perhaps do some light cardio and or active recovery.

This is just what works for *me*. I suggest a trip to the training board where you will find some great information such as the 5x5 program by Madcow and some wonderful training journals that have tons of great real world info.

As for being/becoming Mr. Olympia or an IFBB pro, only your genetics, drive and determination will allow that to happen. You have to have it all. Not even the genetics alone won't do the trick if you don't have the will and desire to be one. And trust me, if you were meant to be a Pro or top level NPC athlete, you will know soon enough with a little bit of proper training and nutrition.

In the end, find what works best for *you* and strive to be the best *you* possible. That's all any of us can do. The rest is up to fate and what genetics we were lucky (or in some cases unlucky) enough to be born with. Good luck with which ever program you end up doing. :)
 
i agree with quad. i have to listen to my body. i adjust very quickly to any reutine so changes are demanded. you can tell if your body needs rest. and when it does don't feel guilty, on or off, feel smart enough to listen to it. you would do it more harm by forcing another workout and not getting some rest. it can help you mentally as well. everybody is different i think
 
Bulking!

Eat, eat, eat ,eat ,eat, eat, eat

Train as hard as you can within your limits of course to avoid injury

Repeat above and rest
 
OMEGA said:
ON= ED and at least 5-6 times per week. Lots of sets, lots of reps

OFF= EOD, and HIT training

2nd that, in theory it looks like the best way to do it.
 
I go 5 days a week with weekends off...then on the weekends I eat as much food as I can and drink as many protien shakes as I can and usually after the weekends over and monday is here, I feel bigger and stronger...rest is just as important as working out...you dont grow in the gym, you grow when your not in the gym...
 
When in a growth cycle, I hit the gym hard, heavy, but for only 30 minutes, 2 or 3 times a week.

I find the more recovery and recuperation time I have, the better the results, due simply to the fact that your body repairs itself when it is resting, therefore growth happens OUTSIDE the gym not in it!

Don't be a Gym Rat, use it as a tool, to achieve an objective, but be smart.

Under a cutting cycle, I train everyother day, 30 mins weights, 45mins cardio.
 
whats wrong with you fuking people. What the fuck does bulking up have to do with how many days a week you workout? All looks are about DIET, dats it. Wanna look cut? DIET. Wanna be fat? DIET. Wanna add on muscle? DIET.
 
I have read somewhere recently that you need to allow 5 to 10 days in between lifting a bodypart for maximum recovery. I have no idea how valid this is but I believe I read it on bodybuilding.com and I wish I still had the link. I'm not saying that because it was on bodybuilding.com that it is true I'm just trying to get some feedback from guys on here regarding this theory.

I will say after reading that I have let myself have more time for recovery and I don't think it has helped me and its possibly hurt me some because I haven't seen much lately in terms of gains. After reading all the different varieties in this post about how many days to train and take off my head is spinning. Isn't there some rule of thumb for how long it takes your muscles to fully recover while on and off aas?
 
I do a eod workwout when bulking, 2 bp a workout. five day a week when i want to rip it up a little more.
 
I listen to my body. There are many, many external factors that can come into play WRT recovery times.

There exists no single credited response to this question.



:cow:
 
Ill say one thing. Fuck rules I dont like em. I listen to my body and do what I want. If I feel good enough to go train im not gunna sit there and say oh fuck I didnt get 72hrs of rest yet on this bodypart or w/e. Screw that. But I think how you go about training depends on your genetics and your body type.

For instance I can train 7 days a week HARD to the point wheer I have to sit down and collect myself again after I workout. How do I know I dont overtrain? I get about 7-8hrs sometimes 9hrs a day of rest and everytime I go back into the gym I am moving more weight or moving about the same with more intensity. I usually do something like Mon-Chest Tues-Back Wed-Shoulders Thurs-Arms -Fri legs - Sat calves which takes me about 20 mins to do and then I rest for the rest of that day and the next and about every 2-3 months I take a full week off and do nothing except be lazy or enjoy fun activities.

Doing this I have made tremendous gains. Like I said above im sure for everyone genetics and body type play a role. I mean I could be wrong but ive read those things places like you all have im sure. I also notice I can train with somebody and given the fact we are both on a clean diet with proper supplimentation I can usually train harder for longer periods of time in the gym than they can. I can also recover in between sets faster. Not sure why but I just listen to my body and I cant remeber the last time I hit a plateau.

My main things I focus on would be not so much how many times a week I can train but how hard I can train during those sessions. I treat every set and rep like its my last one and I dont cheat really becuz I would only be cheating myself. I sleep A LOT and I eat A LOT. If im not cooking im sometimes working but mostly sleeping and if im not sleeping im mostly cooking and eating :P

I dont think there are set rules I think there are guidelines to live by but I think if you listen to your body and train like a mad man but a smart one I think you can make hella good gains.

couldnt have said it better myself.... but it also depeneds on your goals and what your looking ot achieve. if you want to be lean and cut, cardio is a plus.. if you want to bulk up keep it to a minimum. common sense
 
I don't know what your age is bro. However, the older you get the longer your muscles need to recover between workouts. For me, I'm 45, and I usually don't go more than 4 times per week, working different muscle groups. I don't compete though.
 
I train using a total body split three days a week. Everything gets hit each day. I take a week off every six weeks, then I rotate the exercises. On my three non training days I push, pull, run, with a weighted sled and do various lifts with a keg and kettlebells. I usually rest/fish on Sunday. I am basically training total body 6 days a week. Kcals are always kept high. 4500+ every day. I am also still a gear virgin, so I am unassisted. High frequency seems to be the best way for me to train. I don't do very well on body part splits. I will change it up every now and then and do upper/lower splits. I couldn't imagine going to the gym and having a bicep day. Then again I am not an elite level bodybuilder either.

I believe Nelson hit this on the head "too much worry about overtraining" I personaly set me training for 3 on 1 off BUT I switch it to 2 on 1 off when I am training like an animal. The other side of the coin is that sometimes I feel so good on a day off I may go in and train and get my pump on.

Its different from person to person but the more you work out and RECOVER the more muscle you build. Eat Eat Eat and good zzz's too.

every other day then at the point you are at, or somethign like M-W-F, weekend off. R u mostly going heavy with some lighter "cruise" periods in there I hope? Progressing every week? Stretching? Stretching will keep injuries away bro.

I too used to have your problem, until I finally started listening to my body. I go heavy for about a month. Then I do at least 2 weeks of very light high reps. If you continually just train heavy you aren't working out your fast twitch muscle fibers. When they are weaker to the heavier larger muscles you have and can't compensate for it thats when injuries occur. Also why you are more injury prone when on steroids. Try to listen to your body. Sometimes I even take week off if I feel really run down, next week I go to the gym expecting to be weak as hell and somehow I got stronger. You can't train heavy all year without effecting your central nervous system, 4-5 weeks of heavy then 2 of light high reps works for me.

This is a good split. One of my favorites.

Currently I am doing:

The 5X5:

Monday:

Olympic Squats 5x5 (same weight)
Benching 5x5 (flat, close grip or regular)(same weight)
JS Rows 5x5 (same weight)
Accessory (low volume triceps and abs)

Wednesday:

Olympic Squats 5x5 (reduced 15-20% from Monday) or Front Squats 5x5
Standing Military Press 5x5 (same weight)
Deadlifts 5x5 (same weight) (if you pull 2.5x bodyweight do 3x5)
Pull ups 5x5 (use weight if you need it)
Accessory (biceps and abs)

Friday:

Olympic Squats 5x5 (working up each set)
Benching 5x5 (flat or incline)(same weight)
Rows 5x5 (same weight)
Accessory (low volume triceps and abs)
 
When on - Every day ... sometimes twice a day if I feel a bodypart needs to be hit again.

When off - 3-4 times a week so that I get enough rest.

I'm sure Dorian Yates didn't train the same way all of his bodybuilding career. Most professional bodybuilders train so many ways over many years, so it's impossible to attribute their success to one particular training method.

PS. Why did this post show up on the front page as a recent post?
 
need time for recovery.
And hit the gym 100% each time we hit
so i prefer alternate day workout ..

I train 4 days a week with three days of heavy work and one additional day to train the missed out small muscles like forearms calf etc.. it wont take me even 20 mins...

I'm new to bodybuilding, only been doing it for about two months now, so my body is still getting used to weight training. Right now, I can't work out more than two days a week. One day upper body, one day lower body. I lift very heavy for me. After my leg workouts, I can barely walk for the next four days. My upper body is sore for just as long. I don't feel strong again for about a week. But every week I am able to lift more weight. I eat a ton and take whey supplements and get plenty of rest.
 
I do 2 on 1 off and then 2 on and 2 off routine and it works well for me. At 19 I was 6'1 and 140. At 30 I was around 170-180 and now (37 yo) I'm 210. I cant work out 6 days a week anymore and I never got good results with it anyways. Find out what works for you and do it.
 
currently hittin it 3 days, take one off, 2 days, take one off. Been working okay so far. no complaints

Whiskey
 
5 days a week for me. Splitting bodyparts up as much as possible so you can hammer them from different angles. Routines like 5 x 5 or total body 3 times a week will help strength alot but when it comes to pure muscle mass and weight gain then a bodybuilding split is far better....at least it has always been for me.

I usually do a strength based routine until i reach my PBs, then when im ready to really grow i hit a 5 day split.
 
When I bulk I train 5 days a week take wednesday, and sunday off. Need more time to rest muscles in order for them to grow, and hit everybody part once a week.
When cutting I train 6 days a week take off Sundays. I don't use aas when bulking just when I cut so I'll do chest and arms twice a week, and everything else once
a week it works for me
 
I'm on a 2 days on 1 off routine . I look forward to every workout and gave 100 % now . When I was doing 6 days a week , it was pretty easy to half ass a work out and not try and lift heavy .
 
My growth didnt really take off until I started working 6 days then 1 off on a 3 day split. I noticed my strength didnt plateau as much when I rehit the bodypart 3 days later. I am all natural and just accomodated my workload to recover workout to workout. The split is Chest Shld Tri / Back Traps Bi / Legs Lower back Abs

I was amazed at the diffrence in regular progression working this way I know its like Arnies suggested split in his Encyclopedia but its working great I think its really important to balance the workload to accomodate this frequency. Most focus on the workload first then decide on frequency from that. I used to as well. Now I will take a deload week every 4 to 5 weeks but I just drop some volume not intensity.

I am not saying by any means that this is the only or best way, but I am saying you should give it a try and I believe for natural progress you will be blown away.

Finding a way to keep progress is the main thing to look for and this is working for me and Im not changing things up constantly either same core exercises week in and week out

I LOVE IT
 
I'm in the process of trying to find a bulking cycle and I Googled to find this dated post from EliteFitness. I can see that most guys like to train 4-6 days a week. Never tried 4-6 days of training. That's sounds like "competition mode" training.
I'll go with the most votes garnered on this thread and train every other day for my bulk training cycle.
 
I really didn't want to start a thread about "Training every day vs training every other day" when the naysayers, lurkers, exercise zealots, and extremists would come out of the woodwork. Luckily the information I found on the Webpage was started here even though it was started 3 years ago, the voters agreed that or should I say out voted the every day training guys. So I'll look here for a good bulk training routine and get started ASAP. Thank for your input.
