I've noticed a rather odd trend that most of the responses come in this part of the forum. I'm just curious how a lot of the natural guys on this forum train. Do most do splits still, one or two bodyparts a day, positive failure, once/twice a week, etc.? I was considering changing up my routine to working bodyparts twice a week. Anyone have a noticeable difference by doing this? I'm in an overly analytical mode at the moment.

I think its essential to do chest twice a week. Heavy session and light session will work wonders.

I train 4 days a week, train each bodypart once, high volume.

p.s the guy who said training chest twice a week is ideal is full of shit. The light workout will do nothing but slow down the recovery for the next heavy session.

That's what I was thinking of doing but for all bodyparts. Upper heavy, lower heavy, Back/chest hypertrophy, Legs hyper, shoulders/arms hyper.
I've been reading a lot about the idea that your bodyparts recover quicker than a whole week, etc. Of course that depends on how much you hit them the first time.

If you want muscle size, once i week is the best option, i assure you of this.
If you want strength then it can be better to train the bigger bodyparts twice a week, but you are not a powerlifter so why would you give a shit about strength.

mazrim · « **Reply #10 on:** August 10, 2008, 04:13:05 PM »

How do you post pics on here so you have an idea of what I look like/coming from? I've tried using image shack before but it came up wrong. I used to train Max-OT style and had some good gains in some areas (chest) but not so in others (legs).
I've just been reading a lot that your body is recovered well-before the week is over (provided you don't train to positive failure or absolute failure on each set) and was just curious as like I said I got rather strong but in some areas was/am lacking.

Yeah, I saw that in one of your threads a bit back. I've often told my mom I wished she would have put me in gymnastics at a young age as I wouldn't have to try to get jacked as I would already be.

What are you training for? Size, strength?

mazrim · « **Reply #14 on:** August 10, 2008, 04:59:34 PM »

Honestly, I like to do both, but I often wonder why I could lift a lot more than a lot of people yet am not as big/lean as them so I guess I am leaning more towards size nowadays.

Find a bodybuilding routine/split you like and use it. Lots of different ideas and theories out there, don't let them confuse you.

Remember, K.I.S.S.

LOL.

You're a natural trainer right Bluto?
Why don't you let 'mazrim' in on your training split?

dearth · « **Reply #18 on:** August 10, 2008, 05:04:14 PM »

I train a double split 7 days a week, consume 5000 calories, and make sure to take my BCAA's and luekic, shitkic & crapkic.

FLEX magazine says you can get "big like the pros" by simply following the routines/diets. Steroids aren't mentioned, so I'm sure a magazine with the integrity of FLEX wouldn't leave them out if they were indeed used.

if she had started you young and stuck with it you would be way better than those guys now.
