Thread: Training Frequency

I only train 5 days a week. Here's my spit. It works really well.

Mon - Chest
Tue - Back
Wed - Legs
Thu - Shoulders
Fri - Arms
Sat - Rest
Sun - Rest

This split has helped me get past MANY a plateau. I used to train 6 days out of seven, but found I wasn't getting enough rest, and therefore not enough time for my muscles to grow. I could see 6 days a week being beneficial to someone looking to tone up or stay cut, but for mass building and muscle growth, rest is the key.

once a week will do the trick.

Every few months I switch between training each bodypart once a week to training each body part twice a week, or vice versa.

MASS ABOVE ALL

I think that training each bodypart once a week is a pretty solid routine to follow. I also train one muscle a week, usually on the weekdays, but i may occasionally blast a muscle twice a week.

I use a 3 day split, train each muscle once a week.
You may be able to train muscles more than once a week if your diet, rest and genetics are right.

This is my routine,
Mon: Chest/Back
Tues: Legs/Cardio
Weds: Arms/Shoulders
Thurs: Off
Fri: Legs/Cardio
Sat: LIGHT-Shoulders/Arms/Back
Sun: Rest
Each work out 1 1/2 hours to 2. I love volume. I think volume adds more mass. You can use HIT for strength training but for mass I need volume.

I train each muscle group once a week,will start doing certain bodyparts twice a week for a short period of time.

I still agree with myself.

The old software, UBB, makes the default member, Admin, member #1.
When you first install you have to log in with that user, then you create a new admin, then you delete it.

I train each bodypart once every 7-9 days.

Cudos to finding this!
