how often do you train every bodypart?

[WillGrant]

But Mentzer could take credibility for breaking the mould of high volume training you think?  Or were others also hitting everything once a week before him?

It was around before Mike came along , noone seemed to listen to him though..he just diddnt have that flamboyence of say an Arnold.
Dorian doesnt either but I think people saw the results he made and from there it turned the tide.

Maybe if Mentzer had became Mr O things could of changed alot sooner.

Andreas Chaling used to train with the once a week system also.

groink..could you tell me abit about your training theories? if you have time that is...

sure... here's my split.



1   chest, front delts

2   Back, side+rear delts, traps

3   rest

4  arms

5   legs

6   rest

it breaks down like this :  TORSO......REST.....LIMB S.....REST.......

whole body every six days, occasionally I'll drop the last rest day or add another one in the middle depending on how I feel

my rep range is 8 to 10, with 1 warmup, 1 heavy warmup as i call it, and then two heavy sets for example  incline bench  135 x 20, 225 x 15  315 x 8-10 for two sets.

I'm not going to waste my strength and energy on sets of 245, 265 , 275, 285.....I  just go right to the money set after you have got yourself ready to handle some weight and bang out more heavy reps.

[Hulkotron]

how do you split it up..?

Not sure what you mean exactly.  My current split is like:
-Legs
-Push
-Pull
-Off
Then repeat

thanks man! not on here so much but like reading your posts....straight shooter for sure


i really like this split...and allows you to blast everything and not having to do half of the body in the same day...only think i worry about is that more than 4 days per week tends to make me tired but maybe it will work as you get a rest day after every 2 workout days

thanks, yes i read about that split..problem is i get tired if i train too many times per week. but yeah it gives you good frequency per body part

[uberman09]

Every four days usually.

same.  abs 3 x a week.

[MAXX]

I don't train on a skegual. I train what ever bodypart that feels the most fresh. Sometimes I need 5 days rest, sometimes 6 or 7. Instingtive training.

[nycbull]

What does Dr Fist do? he's got some guns there

[jwb]

take the weekends off and do very little on sunday then hit your weakpoint on monday.

then try to get the rest of the body done between tues and fri but if you skip your strongest point don't sweat it.

[Lion666]

every other day...
so 4 times in an 8 day week...
if I need more rest, every 3 days,,, give it one more to be sure.

Dude,you`re a friggin` monster and you`re asking people for advice?
