Workout Question?

[fortheu22]

I was wondering what was better for lifting. Is it better to lift the body as a whole ( Monday - upper body , Wednesday - Lower Body , Friday - Upper Body , Sunday - Lower Body) or in muscle groups (example: Monday - arms , Wednesday - Chest , Friday - Back/Shoulders , Sunday - Legs)?

some prefer full bodies or upper/lower bodies...some splits...to be honest it all comes down to what works for you IMO

I was thinking of doing the upper/lower body method for 3 weeks and switch to working out the muscle groups for 3 weeks?

since i haven't done much of the upperbody/lower body method (started out with full body routines..then hopped on the split routines mixed with push/pull methods ect)

i dont see your idea being a bad thing..if anything it'll keep your body shocked for longer and it could also give you a variety of training concepts to be utilized

many guys at my gym including myself, we workout our large muscle groups at the beginning of the week. legs on monday, back on tuesday, for example.

upper push, lower pull, upper pull, lower push = WIN

no machines

no isolation

I always trained in muscle groups.

I cant see my self training the whole body in one day with one or two movements each.

I do upper pull, all lower body, upper push, rest. I personally hate legs so I get it all done with in one day. In my opinion lifting by muscle location (arms, chest, shoulders/back) is a horrible way to workout.

I split my days into muscle groups. Maybe I'll switch up alittle but thats my routine.

I prefer an upper workout that is chest heavy with a light back workout then shoulders, bi's heavy tri'
legs, abs
off
upper heavy back, light chest, shoulders, tri's, heavy bi's
legs, abs
off, that way i get an upper body workout every 3rd and 5th day
