Reply With QuoteWhile everyones arms are different that sounds pretty dramatic.
If you are going to lift ONLY on the weekends, that will be tough but do-able. I wouldn't recommend it unless its a MUST.
If you lift in the morning and evening on Sat and Sun you can get in 4 workouts, in which case you can follow most standard routines. Make sure you eat and rest well when you do this. ITs very taxing but then you'd have off for 5 days. If you can't do it twice a day than you can "stay in shape" but you won't be putting on significant size.

Beginner Question
Im just starting out, but I have hardly any time to do my workouts during the week. I have school and work every weekday so I want to try and do it on the weekends, but im not sure how to make up a routine to follow only on weekends.
My second problem is that my left arm is messed up, when I flex my right arm the bulge goes from elbow to near my shoulder, but when I flex my left arm its just a little hump in the center, its the same height as my right arm (the bulge), but much shorter. I did some reading and this seems to look like the problem heh.. I just want to know if its common for one of my arms to be THAT different from the other, or if maybe its just underworked?
Im rambling now, thanks in advance for any answers.~Seven Dollar Bill

I would not recommend that. If you only have time (or desire) to work out two times per week it's okay to work upper and lower body, but you should put 3 days of rest between them.Originally posted by picasso

Prince,
I'm curious why you would need 3 days
between an upper and lower body workout.
Not to be argumentative but there are
thousands of "weekend warriors" out there
that would disagree.

most of those weekend warriors that only train on the weekends look like they only train on the weekends.
training like that is ok if one is trying to maintain but to stimulate hypertrophy it will be very hard. you need a minimum of 48 hours inbetween training legs and back if they are training properly.
can you not find an hour or so during the week ? that's all you need.I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
