Anyone work one body part per day?

[Soundness]

No, (but thanks!) I've done it before and been successful.  I just need to figure out how to do it again and why I didn't keep it up.

I'll give you this because you're my friend and also because YOU HAVE RON PAUL IN YOUR NAME, Ron Paul! 

Keep a journal, set goals, and let the numbers guide you...

You should always record everything you can in a journal. Write down

1) the date,
2) bodypart(s) trained that day,
3) the movement(s) utilized that day,
4) weight used for each movement, and
5) the amount of successfully and perfectly completed reps for each movement with that weight.

Additionally, you can write additional notes, such as "Increase 10 pounds and aim for 8." It's good to have goals and give yourself expectations. Belief goes a long ways especially in weightlifting. 

Ensure progression. The one's that train "instinctively" are the ones that will look the same next year and looked the same last. The journal literally tells you what you need to do. If you're only able to complete less reps with a certain weight than you aim for, for instance, you'll know next time to either take it down, cut down on volume, or frequency. If you're losing strength, you'll know you need to either do less work during your workouts or allow more rest between your workouts. IF YOU'RE GAINING STRENGTH YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

Great! Thank you!

Got a new blank notebook on my desk now.  I'm going to take measurements now and record everything!

Thank you!

Awesome, Good luck! Do set goals and record your workouts like that, you'll get greater gains for it...

Setting goals instills the power of belief, belief that you WILL achieve something. What this does is drives you psychologically and prepares you neurologically to achieve, and believe it or not achieving goals has much to do with your thinking. Expectation goes a long ways and if you set your goal even higher than you'd normally expect to achieve, you will achieve even more than you would had you been more "realistic." "Realistic" is often synonymous with "pessimistic" because it is belief that is the driving force behind achievement.

I don't do either directly with my current routine, I stick to all compounds except a pre-exhaust via an isolation immediately before a compound every other time I hit the bodypart (meaning, every other workout). I actually found my calves grew more when I dropped calf raises and did squats only, and my forearms also seemed to grow more when I dropped wrist curls and just stuck to the compounds. Too much overlap can actually hinder progress.

ive been doing the one bodypart a day routine for years and its been my most productive routine,im not a young guy anymore and it allows me to get in and out of the gym in 45 or less.leg day takes me well over an hour cause i do quads,hams,calves all together,sometimes it will bring me to 2 hours.i thinks it a great routine especially for the older guys like myself at 43

[LatsMcGee]

I think it would be more productive to maybe train one lift a day,  Say doing one olympic style lift every day.  I'd imagine someone would make good gains in overall body mass doing something like this.

[Immortal_Technique]

Starting one body part per day, five times a week.  Going heavy with low reps, focusing on compound exercises.

I'm going to get serious.

 

Isn't this the most populat training split by far today, used by the majority of people who actually want to put on muscle?

[Eyeball Chambers]

Back when I started working out I did Max-OT and got really great results.

[Alex23]

1 or 2 bodyparts per day is optimal for bodybuilding purposes

 

Wow, mass monster genius has spoken

If you want to grow your calves, stick to the heavy calf exercises, but also skip rope for 10 min per day (or until you can skip for ten min straight)....then increase to 15 min, etc

Cool, thanks for the tip!

I had a great workout today, recorded everything.  Elbows are a little sore, I worked chest.
