if your want to build muscle on your chest would you stop your workout and just focus on your chest and forget about the all of the other stuff or would you keep your workout..right now my split looks like this:
mon.upper
tues.lower
wed.off(or cardio)
thurs.upper
fri.lower
sat.cardio
sun.off

focus more on indivdual body parts, not simply upper and lower. do back one day, shoulders, chest, bi/tri, ect... and train them each one day a week. REST makes you grow not throwing teh wieghts around.

if youre just starting out, id try to find a powerlifting routine. anyone who is anyone who got big quick began with a powerlifting routine. (ie focus on bench squat and deadlift) it will put mass on everywhere. after youve been training for a year, then start up with the isolation movements. remember, less is more. stick with the basics for about a year.

I could'nt agree more. I gained so much muscle mass from the big, classic lifts. I have stuck to the adage that multi-joint movements are preferrable over single joint movements, for strength and mass. They body moves and works as a unit, not a series of isolated joints. Train yourself to squat, to bench press, to deadlift (especially to deadlift) and go from there. Work those abs, too. You may find (MAY find) that you need little work for your arms when doing powerlifting movements, as i did. This depends on your genetics, bodytype, etc. But STAY FOCUSED. Where the mind goes, the body follows. The more you do the movements, the more you train your nervous system to adapt, the more your muscles adapts. You will grow. Just keep moving, don't overtain.
