Gopro's workout.

[Dominator4321]

In Gopros workout do you recommend doing one body part per workout or 2? This is for anyone using gopro's workout

Right now I'm doing 1 bodypart per day, but I've done 2 and its fine. Good to change it up every couple months.

Very few people should be training more than 4 days per week...5 is the ultimate max, but still too much for most. I prefer 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off for most. This would certainly dictate training more than one bodypart per workout.

The programs Rissole outlined are excellent. If you are training 5 days per week you should at least do 3 on 1 off, 2 on 1 off, and not go 5 straight days. Personally, I train 4 days per week and no more except for about 8 weeks b4 a show.

Not bad, but legs should have a day of its own...its half your body!

Hey gopro I tried your routine like you recommend (on,on,off,on,on,off,off) but feel like im not getting enough recovery. I always train too failure on every set. Do you think it would be beneficial to allow an extra rest day in there? e.g. (on,on,off,on,off,on,off,off)

This is what I had in mind





M: Shoulders
T: Biceps, Hams, Quads
W: off
TH: Chest, Triceps
F: off
Sat: Back, Calvs
Sunday: off
Monday: off

Some people have slower recovery ability than others, so adjustments need to be made. What you are proposing is just fine and may be just what you need!

Also, just make sure you are getting enough rest and sleep...enough quality calories...and are having a whey/high GI carb drink after each workout. Glutamine and vitamin C are very imnportant too!
