Do you train ALL your bodyparts the same?
« on: March 17, 2009, 03:50:22 PM »
Do u train every bodypart with the same rep scheme?

All heavy?
All light?
All 6-10 reps?

I found best results training heavy in certain movements, light in other.

For me, this works.

Heavy (6-8 reps)

Legs
Chest
Shoulders
Triceps

Light (12-15)
Back
Traps
Biceps/Forearms
Calves

Seems like the pushing/pressing movements need to be trained heavy,

and the pulling/pump movements need to be trained light.

I believe its gotta be very individualised.

A lot of trial an error to find what works best for u

Not for bodybuilding but for athletes it works well.



Back movement paired with leg movement

Chest movement paired with a unilateral leg movement

Shoulder movement triset with a posterior chain movement

Arms are suppliment.

This is only an example

for me, the larger muscle groups get the lower reps (5 - 7): chest, back, legs and tris (sometimes)

bis, traps, abs get 10-12 reps.

dont know why i do this, but it seems to work.

i prefer heavy but with good technique. not heavy for the sake of going heavy.
light weights are no challenge. i see guys who train with the same weights year in and out and absolutely do not strive for improvement.
were do they get the motivation from.

High rep synthol for small parts, high volume synthol for large body parts.

Roy Callendar kind of trains all his clients that way.
