For those training each muscle group only 1x per week

[JP_RC]

@dj181, yes I'm able to push hard on delts and arms too, its just a matter of getting used and adapting to the frequency of training. First fewe weeks you might feel tired and not being able to push, but after a while you'll adapt.

Back and chest on the same day is INSANE, specially if you work your lats just before the pecs. Basically, your back provide support and stability for every chest exercise, specially bench presses. For sure your back will give up way before you start to feel something on your pecs when working the chest using that routine.

no,, it can be done,, specially if you give body time to get used to it,, i seen it doen tIMe after TIME!  also it depend on the indivudual,,

same thing with delt and arm day after chest + back,, some can do it,, some can not but there are many possiblilities if you dont like it,, but it can be done.,, sometimes even enhance growing process,, in general i avoid it tho,,

Chicken parm pizza after a workout is the key to epic growth

Thats the way I train for a long time and I like it because it helps me being injury free while training insanely hard, I also feel that this is the optimal training schedule in terms of strenght and mass gains (maybe 1 muscle group each 6 days would be the sweet number - like Dorian used to train - but since I am not a bodybuilder I keep the cycle matched with the whole week to fit better with my work and social agenda).

But, the thing is, for example, I train chest on mondays, and when it comes the weekend I feel like my pecs are not as pumped as during the middle of the week, and it kinda of spois the visual effect during this part of the week.

Training chest 2x full throtle is definetly an overkill for me but what about doing a light session on thursday or friday just to pump it up a bit and prepare things for the next monday when I will train this muscle group again? Have anyone tried something like this?

  Yes, i do this for legs.  Heavy leg day on Wednesdays... then another lighter one on sundays.  Do chest mon, then again on thursday.. just lighter and less sets.

Totally agree.

Training once a week is not efficent. It takes 48 hours for muscle recovery in a lot of cases. Missing a lot of building time by doing one bodypart a week.

Eh.

When you do chest/tris, back/bis, etc, I don't think you can adequately get BOTH muscle groups in enough to really work them hard enough.  Unless you're at the gym for over 2 hours.

Its truly sad how many people buy into the perpetuated bodybuilding bullshit.

No, actually Im genuinely trying to enlighten those who have been brainwashed by spoon-fed bodybuilding bullshit.

Normally I dont like to bash, but youre really perpetuating this.  So explain this to me 'stretch marks'.  Youve posted your pictures and make no mistake you have a very average physique.  It doesnt matter if your arms tape out at 19'' or 29'', you have not posted a picture of a muscular arm, despite the fact that of the few visible muscles, your arms may be your best feature as you have no chest, no traps, no thickness whatsoever.  
So here you are diving deep into a 'training split' when what you fail to realize is what I said in my first post, that you'd do better to just do some compound movements and call it a day.
Ever been to a powerlifting gym?  You never see anyone in there doing an 'arm day', yet they all have significantly more muscular arms than you.  Does that tell you anything?
Go watch a strongman competition.  Those guys have pretty big legs huh.  Do you think its cause they 'prioritize their hamstrings' by doing a standing leg curl on its own separate day?  

Maybe you'll finally get it, or maybe you are too stupid.

Make no mistake, I love steroids and wish I could do them.  I dont in anyway infer that you dont train your ass off, or diet or do all sorts of neurotic shit to attain that physique.  My sole point is that for most people, it makes no difference if a bunch of chest exercises are done on monday or wednesday etc...
