Someone should make this a sticky.....

Uhhh it contradicts itself...

Rule #4: Never train the same muscle group twice in one day with the same set/rep scheme

If training a muscle twice in one day, different skeletal muscle components need to be targeted via differing stimuli/rep ranges. Training arms with sets of 10 in the AM and then again in the PM isn't productive as it'll only interfere with recovery from the first session


Then it says...

Here's how I'd set it up over the course of a week:

Monday AM: Chest/Back (12x4)
Monday PM: Chest/Back (4x12)

Tuesday AM: Hip-Dominant Legs/Shoulders (12x4)
Tuesday PM: Hip-Dominant Legs/Shoulders (4x12)

Thursday AM: Arms (12x4)
Thursday PM: Arms (4x12)

Friday AM: Quad-Dominant Legs/Calves (12x4)
Friday PM: Quad-Dominant Legs/Calves (4x12)


Granted its a different volume, but they are the same muscles that are getting hit. Either way, I wouldnt do that approach.

6' 209lbs (8/16)
Bench 365 (12/3)
Weighted Pullups 80lbs 3x3 (3/19)
Squat 370
Deadlift after herniation 385lbs 3x3 (3/17)
NASM certified 2/06

Polquin has a crazy article there about overtraining on purpose then allowing yourself plenty of time to recoop. Brutus is doing something like this and has had phenominal results.

I'm a huge fan of AM/PM workouts, but I'd never do the same muscle group in the morning and again later that night. That's redundant.

Chest in the morning, back at night. Something of the sort...

^ one of the guys I used to train with was a big fan of training twice in the one day. He'd try and pre-exhaust any stabiliser muscles with isolation training in the mornings and would use entirely compound lifts in the afternoon.

Only ever tried it when on holidays to varied effect - who in the hell has time to train twice a day and hold a job anyway?
