Thread: Break between muscle groups

right now im doing 1 muscle a week and starting tomorrow, i do legs and after that i go back to 1 muscle group a day.

I would train back first, then train biceps later (typically train the bigger and stronger muscles first)

Hitting the back will hit the biceps indirectly. Beauty is by the time I get to biceps 50lb db curls is more than enough.

Put up a sample of your workout and maybe some constraints of time/equipment.

just curious, what is your training experience and progress?

You need to break out of your rut if you want gains. Im not a huge huge fan of one muscle group per day, but thats me.
Shoulders/tris
Legs
Chest
Back/biceps
That is a good starting routine for you to follow. My back days are so brutal that I tend to split bicep to its own day.

Thats not my question for a month would taking a 4 hour break between muscle groups i would usually work in one sitting still be a good workout

The only bad workout is the one you don't do. I see no problem, depending on your goals, for split workouts.

Worst case, give it a shot. Maybe you'll hate it, maybe you'll love it. I wouldn't do it because I don't have the time. If I had the time id live in the gym.
