Thread: Training ?

It depends how you split it up. Anywhere from 3-5 days seems appropriate. 4 days seems to be the most popular split among the people on these forums. You just have to do less in one workout if you lift 5 days a week as opposed to 3.

I don't know how your friend can get away with training 7 days a week unless he is on steroids or lots of steroid-like supplements, he lifts for maybe 30 minutes each day, he incorporates a deloading phase and frequent resting into his routine, or he has very good genetics.

i dunno how he does it but hes big deffinatly hasent takern roids maybe good genitics i have bad genitics should i stick to 3 day routine

^^^^He may consider cardio training. If I were to throw in a cardio and ab day twice a week in between my 5 day split I could consider it a 7 day split. I just add my abs and occasional cardio at the end of a workout. But if he is like doubling a body part twice a week going 7 days in a row with no rest god bless him. Gees I would die.

As for the direct question, his massiveness could be a multitude of things. How long has he been lifting for? You don't get big overnight. A routine that works for him may not work for everyone else, you need to find what works best for you and run with it. If you can train more then others without overtraining go for it. I personaly have figured out if I run hardcore 5 days straight after time I get run down. So I mix up my 4 and 5 day split and make sure I organize my lifts accordingly.

Nothing wrong with working out everyday.

okay well i found i could do 5 days a week but i needed weekend to rest i did sleep alot aswell the guy who does 7 days a week may of had cardio days instead of weights i suppose.

hes about 35 years old so probably been training for awhile

It all depends
