Thread: any routine splits for 2x a week, each muscle

has anyone got good links to a routine that hits each muscle 2 times a week, any splits or anything someone has tried or thought up?

not true

it depends on a whole load of factors!

even 3x a week can yield some great results, depends on the intensity and volume of the workouts, also depends on a whole load of individual factors

i don't see how creatine supplementation will benefit someone who is lifting each muscle 2x a week any more than someone lifting each muscle once a week

it can take some muscles 14 days to recover, which muscle group is that? i wouldn't have thought leaving 2 weeks inbetween training a muscle is advisable for any BB'er (not even HIT'ers leave that much time!)

swordfish try this:
mon - push
tues - pull
weds - rest
thurs - push
fri - pull
weekend - rest

you'll have to go low-volume (esspecially if your gonna fit in legs, chest, shoulders and tris in one workout!) or else you'll end up doing too much, keep it intense and throw in a light session every now and again when needed, should work well if you do it properly, you can also use different exercises for each workout (like have a push A & push B session on the mon & thurs) to keep the progress goin once your into the flow of things

i've not yet tried this routine yet but as soon as i fancy a change from my current one i'm gonna give it a go. gl
