Anyone work one body part per day?
« on: December 21, 2008, 08:01:58 PM »
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.

I do one bodypart a week, going heavy very intense with minimum 8 reps, maximum 12.

It's the only way I can grow.

I have been doing it for 2 week now. I go one body part per day, high volume 20 + sets, 12 + reps.
I only do this around the holidays since I get in so much mroe calories....

Hate to break it to you, but that's three bodyparts.

I consider "legs" a bodypart.  I think thats what the op meant.  There are not enough days in a week to literally do one bodypart per day.

I split my train much more carefully;

I do different fibers of a given muscle on different days;

fibers 10-24-23-39 of the quad muscle will be done on day 1.

fibers 435-353-2323-35345 and or course 32423432 should be done on day 2.

I complete my entire routine in 234234 days... very detailed and I folllow flexingtonsteele's details carbo counting diet...

LOL these fuckers don't realize that ALL the fibers can get exhausted in a single set. It just STARTS with the slower twitch at the start of a set then gradually exhausts faster twitch fibers as you reach failure!

trained like that for years, I switched to DC training not so long ago and I prefer that way.
strenght gains comes much faster this way for me (can't speak for muscle mass as of yet)

i tried, doesn't work for me as well as combined workout - large body part, like back, followed by small group like arms

but again, its all individual, and variation is good as a shock therapy, so maybe a good idea to try it for a while and then revert back to the splits you are more accustomed to

Goal?

Not really as far as how much I lift.  I just want to get into good shape.  A while back I was really working out hard, and in really great shape.  Then I started slacking...  :-\

You need to 1) SET GOALS and 2) KEEP A JOURNAL. Do I need to teach you about this Ron Paul?

1 or 2 bodyparts per day is optimal for bodybuilding purposes

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. :D
