why train more than 3 times in a week?

[anabolichalo]

if they claim you only workout each muscle once a week

you can just do

monday: chest and arms

wednesday: thighs and calves

friday: shoulders and back


?

i train a lot more than this but i wonder if this should be smarter for same if not better result and more free time

[Coach is Back!]

Three full body routines per week. Conditioning on off days.

Anything works on gear. Training one body part per week is complete bullshit.

Thinking in terms of "bodypart" when training is complete bullshit.

except for maybe legs, but upper can be trained 2 or maybe even 3 times per week, depending upon rep scheme

Legs as well. We train legs twice per week. One heavy (1-3 reps) and when we don't have a dynamic day, we have a rep day (8-12 reps)

I always see you say this but you never actually say what kind of routine 3 full body workouts a week involves.

do you ever do 50 or 100 rep sets?

i'll go as high as 20-25 reps, and a friend of mine recommended that i try some 50 rep sets but i just couldn't stay concentrated long enough to stay with that high of reps

I like training with full body workouts. I workout on days when my body and mind feels fresh and ready. Sometimes I only need two days rest, sometimes six days, etc.

I think for me it is best to listen to my body on when how often to train, how many sets.

There are so many factors that affect recovery such as how much sleep, what your diet was like, how much stress at work and home, hormonas levels, and that sticking to a cookie cutter program tends to fail after a while due to lack of recovery, lack of motivation or boredom.

Not everyone can recover at the same rate so why do so many different people try to do the same programs.

Specific programs might be good for peaking for powerlifting comps and other athletic endeavors, or to use over the short term to bust through plateaus.

Here is my training for the week:

Monday - Bench and sub exercises
Wednesday - Deadlift and sub exercises
Friday - Squats and sub exercises

Sat and Sunday no training

Training takes no longer than 45 min each - Get in do your shit get out = most enjoyable training ever.

We will with some of ou personal training clients.

[Griffith]

I train one day on, one day off.

I get the best gains this way, have higher energy, more motivation and burn-out less.

what do you think of interrupted sets?

for example on leg press do 5 reps and then stay in the locked out postion for a count of 10 and then do another 5 reps and do this 4 times through

and then once you can get 5 reps in all 4 "sets" increase the weight
