Have to agree with S O B. Remember that it is during recovery that your muscles grow. I would say that if you are giving your all during your workouts, each body part once a week is sufficient, maybe once every 5/6 days tops if your nutrition and rest is spot on. As you say you have started this workout, how are you feeling? Are your body parts still sore when you are due to train then, and is your motivation and energy still there when you get to the gym? | ||

Train heavy, forget the high volume. Stick with 4-6 reps or lower. Concentrate on Bench Squat and dead. I only do 10 exercises and I am getting more ripped from it then I was with all the isolation bullshit. I train 2 to 3 days a week, thinking of cutting it to only 2. | ||

everything looks good except i can't understand how you do both back and legs on the same day. if you are training maximum intensity on your squats and leg presses and whatnot you'd be hard pressed to get a decent back workout out of it. on my leg days i can't even think about doing anything else once i'm done destroying legs. i would suggest a separate back day and allow yourself more time for recovery. (i'm taking it that you're juiced since you're hitting bodyparts twice a week.) good luck ------------------ | ||

Supersizeme wrote exactly what I wanted to say after looking at it. I used to do a similar workout to this but I added an extra day, say Wednesday, and just did legs. Doing back and biceps after legs for me would be too tough. So I would recommend doing legs on a separate day but just once a week and just back and biceps together.Otherwise its looks pretty good to me. | ||

Hey PH21.....yep, you know who this is. The routine looks ok but before I could say it is right or wrong I would have to know more about your long/short term goals. What you have outlined (lots of sets and higher reps) would probably keep a person toned and well defined but may not add too much mass because there tends to be too much volume. However, if your goal is "cutting" then that type of training should help bring out more definition if you don't overtrain. If your goal right now is "mass" then I would highly recommend 1) work each bodypart only once per week but work it intensely 2) use heavy weight and low reps ranging from 5-8 3) eat like crazy as much good food as possible every two hours throughout the day but don't be too strict 4) get plenty of rest 5) keep some cardio in your workout say stationary bike 3 x week 20-30 min 6) consider doing 16 total sets for the larger msucles; chest, quads, back; about 12 total sets for shoulders, hams, tri's and about 9 total sets for bi's 6) be sure to get your supplements Hope this helps. You know where to reach me if there are more specific questions. | ||

I did virtually the same workout when I was a lot younger and yes it worked for me. I was 21-22 at the time and was on my second cycle. I couldn't do it now though - it would be overtraining for me and I wouldn't recommend it unless you are on a course. I seemed to recover a lot quicker when I was younger and it helped me put some size on. You must have an excellent diet as well though as you can get very close to overtraining with it - particularly on legs. |
