DONT do what i do. this is my first week of gopros routine, and it needs work definately.this is just to give you an idea of what is reasonable to me....

but how often are you lifting these bodypartys?

once a week. shit my bad, i didnt read the first post well. i find this frequency works for me tho.... i thought 3 days in a row is no good for your CNS?

im gonna start next week with

Chest triceps

Shoulders?

ya thats about what i do... but in 7 days instead of 6. mon chest/tri shoulder, wed legs, fri back/bi/forearms. seems to work for me.. the one day ahead would probably help you, but for me its just hard to switch the days i workout, i like to keep them constant.

This isn't so much a rule as a guideline. Some people can go days and days in a row with no ill effect. (They're VERY rare.) You just need to pay attention to your body. If you're starting to get weaker, can't sleep, lose your appetite, etc. you're probably pushing it a bit too hard.
