If you are only gonna hit each bodypart once a week don't ever stop eating to let the growing slow down.... just a suggestion IP: Logged |

If your looking to gain mass I would scrap that workout...Unless training each part once a week works best for you...Even with Heavy Poundage that didn't work for me for to longso.... I try to hit everything at least twice a week, abs, forarms, and calves I try to workout everyday...I workout Mon-Sat...And I try to change my routine up every 3-6 weeks Mon: Chest, back SOme people say to train shoulders with the back, I think most training will have to be whatever works for you best... The reason why I do abs, forearms, and calfs every day is cause for me there the ones that are hardest for me to workout, and forearms and calfs are muscles I use every day anyway...Well this works for me anyway...

I don't like working more than two days in a row. I prefer two on one off - gives better recovery and much better results for me. When I'm bulking I go one on one off. Less is always more, believe it. It's personal, but read some of Dorian's articles for reasons and results. IronMike IP: Logged |

I can honestly say I have never in all of my years seen a work out quite like that. Very unorthodox, but it just might work. Jon ------------------ IP: Logged |

thanks for the replies, believe it or not the guy who gave me that routine is huge, he is trying to get on with the wwf, and said he has got a good chance, ric flair owns the gym I work out at it and supposedly ric is pulling some strings for him. IP: Logged |

Here is a workout I found on the web let me know what you think. Monday: Chest - Bench Press, find your weight limit that allows you to manage only 12 reps in the first set, remember, barely managing this. From here drop to 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 3 reps, and the final set do 10 reps. This should burn'em. Tuesday: Legs - squats - Six sets; 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 4 reps, and finally 10 reps to finish. Wednesday: Back - Rows, six sets, 16 reps, 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 sets, and 10 reps. Thursday: Dead-lifts - Seven sets, 12 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 4 reps, 3 reps, 3 reps, 10 reps. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday - Get lots and lots of sleep. This is an intense workout and one that should be done on a high protein, strict diet (especially if on the stack) and no less than eight to ten hours of sleep per night. Drink lots of water, a gallon a day wouldn't be too much. IP: Logged |

My split is a lot like vdevil's - same approach. Seeing as everyone is being good and posting there's I'll show my hand too... Mon - chest/calves I take two days off after legs cos I'm usually drilled by then. I'm not the fastest recovering person, so maybe you don't need to rest as much as me. If I have time I'll do cardio on my days off, and do abs with cardio or throw it in twice a week, not on consecutive days. Hope this helps! IronMike IP: Logged |

Im with E2 Ive never seen a routine quite like that either, but each person responds different to different set ups. No one can actually say what routine is best simply because there are only a few constants in BB and that is you have to eat to grow, you have to lift heavy to grow, and you have to be disciplined and dedicated to grow. The greatest thing about slinging iron is that there are so many options out there that you can keep your body guessing all the time, seeing as how adaption can be your worst enemy. I like alot of guys on this post switch my routine around every 3 weeks. I do all kinds of different routines just to keep it interesting. For example Im in week 5 of a six week mass overload routine, afterwards Ive decided to go with a couple of weeks of high volume, and then on to another six of mass overload. Just have fun, experiment, and grow bro. Bleed Iron, Later. IP: Logged |

Hey pauly you got that workout from one of the anabolics.com newsletters right? I've never tried it but it looks good. My basic routine is that I train every body part twice a week...on or off the juice. Mon - chest, tris Sometimes I only do legs once a week and take sun off. I train abs 5 days a week and run 1 mile mon, wed, fri. Keeps me big and ripped and I love it. Ronnie Coleman trains every bodypart twice a week also. Thats why I do it. IP: Logged |
