    Workout question

    would this work? working out 5 days a week and hitting only one muscle group each day. For example...:
    Monady: Chest
    Tuesday:Back
    Wednesday:Bicep
    Thursday:Shoulders
    Friday:Triceps
    and also throw in some leg work 3 days a week

    realize that when you do pull movements for back you will be using biceps alot, same as when you do chest you will be using triceps alot, try to pair them up, more rest is always the best strat,
    here is mine
    day1-push
    2-legs
    3-rest
    4-pull
    5-rest
    6-rest

    on the rest days you can throw in some abbs or cardio depending on what your goals are

    An entire day for your biceps? An entire day for your triceps? Are you kidding me?

    Please, just stick to the basics for now. A full body routine 3 days per week; and upper-lower split; a push, pull, legs split. Any of these would be just fine. Stop trying to get so fancy.

    ditto CP. not to mention, six days of rest isn't necessary for larger muscle groups. why do 100 reps in one day when you can do 50 one day and 50 another (hypothetically speaking).

    Leg work three days a week including five straight days of isolation training? That would, quite honestly, suck IMO.

    Yeah, it would probably work, but it's still stupid in my opinion. You can train like a moron and still gain if you eat enough food.

    No need to get fancy just yet. I guess that last split you had would work. Try something like this:

    Upper Push
    Quad Dominant Legs
    Off
    Upper Pull
    Ham Dominant Legs
    Off
    Off

    Shoulders really do not require their own day.

    I get that way when I take a week off. It is necessary though. You can't possibly consistently see gains without rest.

    Just do some active recovery/GPP type work instead. Give your body a chance to fully adapt, and eat enough to make up for your high activity levels.
