How many muscle groups a week?

[P-funk]

These past 11 days ive been doing everything 3 times a week. Ive seen gains in size and strength in that short of time. My appetites increased which is a good sign.

how do you break that up? Are you on any anabolics? When I do total body workouts 3 times a week I do everything three times a week. Dieting for contest now I can't really handle to much frequency like that or I will overtrain and compromise my immune system. I hate dieting and getting sick.

So your saying you can only "maintain" and are unable to build mass by working each bodypart once per week?

I mean for myself it is because ive never taken time off in 12 years. I am so addicted to this like drugs. So I need to push my body even further now.

I just don't see how your able to work your chest for instance as hard all three times per week. Most times after a chest day I am unable to even move my chest for atleast a few days.

Every time I hit a muscle for that week I do different excercises for the last 2 excercises......always keeping the first the same everytime

Remeber this is only for 2 weeks and you lift it how it feels that day. Normally I do everything 2x a week.

No anabolics now. Ive hit a cycle of cyp twice in my life. 10 week cycles with 2 bottles of 200mg/10 cc each time. I save that stuff for a plateau I cant snap. Thankfully I have only resorted to that 2 times in 12 years. Ive never stacked.

Maynard, you need to post some pictures for us. I want to see what 12 years of consecutive training does to a person. My goal is 1 year of constant training and sticking with it. LOL

I would post some pics but somebody will need to show me how to smudge the face. Im 6'1" 265 at about 13 % bf. Squat 565 Bench 455
I honestly have missed no time in 12 yrs. Never injured either. Have performed squats goin all the way down for the last 10 yrs and my knees feel excellent.

You'll need some photo editing software, like MS paint, or Photo Shop. The software that came with the camera might also have this.

Thanks......next I need to put a pic on this computer. I dont even have a clue how to do that.

On your computer, or upload to the site? If you dont have a digital camera, you will need a scanner to get the pcture to your hard drive. Once its there, you can upload to the site by goint to "post reply" and into the "edit attachments" option a little ways down the page. Just find the directory that the pic is in, select it and hit ok.

I dont have a scanner but my sister does. I can do that there and have her send it to me email. That would work.

Cool. If you need to resize it(due to size restrictions on the site), then go here once you get it. http://support.persits.com/jpeg/pick_jpeg.asp

Also you can upload them to your gallery instead of the thread, which may be better. If you need any help once you get everything situated, give me a holler.

Ive been traing 12 years and can get away with traing 18 muscles some weeks. I like to shock my body every so often. Ive squatted 6 times in the last 11 days. I am exausted but as long as my appettite doesnt deminish I know Im not overtraining.

IF you have squated six times in the past 11 days I would say your doing something wrong. I wouldnt even imagine squating every other day after a heavy day.

Ive been lifting for 12 years and wanted to shock my body. I still made gains in these 11 days. Now im going back to squatting twice a week.
