How often do you train?

[LAM]

I changed my routine last week. I'm doing a true HST routine now I'm training each bodypart on Mon-Wed-Fri...

 

[kuso]

Good luck with it LAM........I had a lot of trouble with joints while doing it .

 

[X-Cop]

I do 6 days a week.

Monday Chest, Triceps, Shoulders
Tuesday Biceps, Back
Wed Legs and run 3 miles

Repeat

Play golf on Sundays

 

[sandwich]

i train each muscle 1-2 times a week...depends.....i do arms/back.........chest/shldrs.......legs.

3 workouts. 3-4 rest days.

 

[mesomorphin']

I generally go 5 days per week, training each body part once a week, but I mix up and rearrange my splits from time to time.

 

[crackerjack414]

I use a 4 day weight split with cardio every day varying between 1 and 2 sessions a day with either interval training or distance training for variety.
mon chest bis shoulders
tues legs back abs
wed cardio
thur clean db bench varying angles
fri legs light back deadlifts abs
sat long cardio early morning 8 mile before breakfast. 4 mile run later in the day
sun 1 cardio session

its alotof cardio but its not to bad I like to varying exercises between standard barlifts and dbs.

 

[LAM]

crackerjack...how can you effectively train the 2 biggest bodyparts in one training session ?

 

[crackerjack414]

I try to hit them hard with little rest between sets. Iam a big fan of H.I.T. training. I like to wait no longer than 1 min between sets.

 

[LAM]

that is the standard rest time for anyone training for hypertropy. but how many sets do you do for each body part ?

 

[crackerjack414]

usuely 2- 3 exercises depending on the body part I like to go 8 6 5 4 8 failure

 

[raider6969]

i train 3 days/ week, 2 body parts per day, hard training. cardio every morning.

 

[TriZZle305]

i train 3 days a week but thats because i cant figure out a 4 day or 5 day workout schedule... what is a HST routine?

 

[EarWax]

I do 4 day a week mostly:
Sat: Shoulders
Mon: Chest/Tris
Wes: Back/Bis
Fri: Legs and Arse

But when my workout partner isn't looking, I go on Sunday and do more of what's lacking. I'm sneaky!

Hello everyone,
Just introducing myself and this seemed like a good thread to do that in. My name is Jay, im way up in northern BC (Canada). I work out at a gym called 24 hour fitness ( due to my work schedule). I always Train a minimum of four days a week, but sometimes throw and extra day in there for variety and a change of pace. At present I squat 330 pounds, and hack squat 1100, calf raises are at 360 pounds. I love working my legs !!!!!!! I usually do 4 sets with in a 12-10-10-12 rep pattern, sometimes more sometimes less. Thats about it for me and training, hope to get lots of help and tips from everyone here ~Jay

[clubhard]

Balanced Training

I train 3 days weights

3 days cardio - first thing when I get up in the morning.

Weight routines change every 2 weeks.

I currently workout 6 days per week using a 3 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off split. Every muscle group gets hit once every 5 days and the rest days fall after different muscle groups all the time. Should give it a try if your recuperation is solid between each workout. I make sure to get 8-10 hours of sleep and I supplement religiously with creatine, glutamine and a good meal replacement.
