2 days a week enough rest for hitting each muscel once a week?
I was just wondering if 2 days a week enough rest for hitting each muscel once a week?
I train for no more than 1hr 15mins that's including some cardio & abs 5 times a week. I get at least 7-8hrs or more if possible of sleep a night. I drink plenty of water & take multi-vitamins, calcium, glucosamine, flaxseed oil & salmon oil containing lots of Omega 3. I'm not sure if glutamine is essential or not. I eat 6 meals a day & get enough protein, complex carbs, fruits & vegetables & about 1500-2000ml of water a day. I just wanted your opinions. |

I just started 5 days a week because I started a cycle of ph's.
I think I will stick with it after my ph cycle as well because I find Im not rushed and can properly train each muscle. |

Well I'm not new to weight training, been doing almost 10yrs.
I train Monday Chest 4 exercises 3 sets each & 2 exercises of forearms. Takes 45-50mins plus 15mins on treadmill light cardio to stimulate deep breathing which burns fat really well. Tuesday: I do Back only 6 exercises totaling 20 sets. Takes about 50mins. 15mins on treadmill light cardio to stimulate deep breathing which burns fat really well. Wednesday: Rest absolutely nothing Thursday: I super set bi's & tri's, 3 exercises 3 sets each totaling 18 sets (was doing 24 sets total for awhile too much) & I do 8 sets for calves 2 exercises 4 sets each. Takes 50mins. 15mins on treadmill light cardio to stimulate deep breathing which burns fat really well. Friday: I do shoulder 4 exercises 3 sets each totaling 12 sets, I do 2 exercises for traps 3 sets each totaling 6 sets, then I do the back & left side & right side of my neck on the neck machine 3 sets for each side. Takes no longer than 50mins. 15mins on treadmill light cardio to stimulate deep breathing which burns fat really well. Saturday: I do legs only. I do 4 sets of squats, 3 sets of leg press, 3 sets of stiff leg deadlifts, & 3 sets of hamstring curls with a 3 sets of pullovers at the end. Sunday Rest nothing. I do legs on Saturday because I want to give 2 days rest to my upper body & since I do shoulders on Friday & chest on Monday, I need 2 days for my shoulders to rest as everyone knows not to train shoulders & chest on the same day or on back to back days. |
