Workout Question?
I was wondering what was better for lifting. Is it better to lift the body as a whole ( Monday - upper body , Wednesday - Lower Body , Friday - Upper Body , Sunday - Lower Body) or in muscle groups (example: Monday - arms , Wednesday - Chest , Friday - Back/Shoulders , Sunday - Legs)?

I was thinking of doing the upper/lower body method for 3 weeks and switch to working out the muscle groups for 3 weeks?

since i haven't done much of the upperbody/lower body method (started out with full body routines..then hopped on the split routines mixed with push/pull methods ect) Originally Posted by fortheu22

I always trained in muscle groups.
I cant see my self training the whole body in one day with one or two movements each.

I do upper pull, all lower body, upper push, rest. I personally hate legs so I get it all done with in one day. In my opinion lifting by muscle location (arms, chest, shoulders/back) is a horrible way to workout.
