How many muscle groups in a day?

indian09 · 11-02-2003, 09:46 PM

Just curious to see how many muscles groups in a day is best. Right now I do everything seperate ( in order 1 day each) shoulders,triceps,biceps,back,chest,legs. I do abs everyday withh a bigger empahsis on legs days, I also do forearm exercises on bi and tri days. I usually do 5-6 exercies day.

I've tried different routines, back & chest, chest & tris, bi & tris...etc. But I seem to like what i'm now doing best

What do u guys do?

I try to do one big, one little... for the most part. I just changed mine to:

1) Chest - Calves
2) Back
3) Delts - Traps - Neck
4) Tri - Bi - Abs
5) Legs - Forearms
6) OFF

I dont do much for biceps, and dropped SLDL on leg day. So much deadlifting is causing some pain in my biceps making bicep day suck, and I know that some people have pushed themselves too far and seperated thier biceps completely which I would rather avoid. I only did 3 sets for biceps last time 'round.

I think that sounds good, for me I just have to make sure tricepts and chest are as far away from each other as possible as I feel alot of burn in my tricepts on chest days...

I think most people agree that just make sure to give each muscle group proper recovery time... at least 3 days... doing each body part once a week ensures you have sufficient recovery time...

I do no more than two body parts per day.

As it was said above, training one big and one little body parts works best. just my .02

Nothing else matters except the task at hand.
