I have just bought some home equipment and I'm thinking about trying to work upper body + calves 4-6 days per week. Anyone ever had success with this kind of strategy?

i wouldnt... maybe if u just want to be fit....but Idk how you could ever be recoverd if your truly breaking down the muscle the way you should be to stimulate growth.

you'll have the best body on the beach, but no homosexual men will find your hugeness seducing - but if that's the price you wanna pay?

i find tren ace/gh really helps me to recover well and train my whole body 3 times in 9 days- in fact you cant not train on that combo, esp when at 700-1400mg a week of ace- but there will come a time you'll fry your cns. this happened to me after about 2 months of training like this. but there is no way if your training properly you should even be able to consider training the same muscle group 4-5 times a week, no matter what you are taking, or how much of it.

When I was 12-16 I would workout upper body and lower every other day. Good results even tho i was probably overtraining.

Shit, Im sore for a week at least after squats and deadlift, doing that crap everyday would be beyond brutal. Cardio everyday sure, but not banging tin around.

I did some pushups a couple days ago just to fuck around since I was too lazy to go to the gym that day. I think I did a total of 100 pushups and what surprised the hell out of me the next morning was that I was sore as FUCK in my lats. Chest and triceps were fine.

Are you sure you know what "lats" are ?

Yeah man, I couldn't believe it either. Must have been the way I was doing the pushups.

Gymnasts do indeed look great for not being on steroids or at least not on non-stop heavy bodybuilding cycles. Leroy Colbert is an advocate of training every muscle every day as well. He says the current 1x week training can't work without steroids.

I personally also got my best results when I knew nothing about 'bodybuilding training' and just went to the gym almost daily to do about 1 exercise per muscle group.

I'd say try it, what have you got to lose? Muscle perhaps but if you're visually losing muscle, just quit and go back to less frequent sessions. Obviously you don't want to kill yourself in the gym while doing this (which you really shouldn't be doing anyway). Train smart, not hard. Never seen a big guy train hard, seen many small guys go balls out all the time. It's sad but true, most of the time the most hardcore trainees are the smallest as well.

Most gymnasts are on enough shit to bulk a rhino

Moen · « **Reply #13 on:** March 23, 2012, 01:03:23 PM »

I hope you don't actually believe that. They may be on stuff, but nowhere near what bodybuilders are on. They are tested a lot as well and not via a Walmart doping test. I've also yet to see the bloated/grown heads seen on bodybuilders/boxers/mma fighters etc on gymnasts

YOU ONLY GROW AT REST AND WHILE YOU SLEEP !!

More isn`t always better,better is better!

tbombz · « **Reply #15 on:** March 23, 2012, 01:05:38 PM »

as frequency increases, intensity needs to decrease.

you can train every muscle every day if your staying far far far away from failure. like, very far away from failure.

Dr Dutch · « **Reply #16 on:** March 23, 2012, 01:07:48 PM »

I think if you do 1 set of 20 squats a day, slowly increasing weight, you will grow..

Moen · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2012, 01:09:34 PM »

It doesn't need to be squats or the big three only, train everything daily but like tbombz said, use your fucking brain and don't start doing triple drop sets to failure each day

Fuck the dumb shit!

Train every day in the sense of...

work
active recovery
work
active recovery

shoulders may give out first then elbow and knees - so be careful.

well i aim to train 7 days a week but end up 6 times a week and do full body. i never ever fully recover, resting is bullshit you dont magically build by taking a day off. You build by eating more variety and amount plain and simple. Youll eat LESS and assimilate LESS if you REST

Moen · « **Reply #23 on:** March 23, 2012, 02:19:19 PM »

I don't think it matters much, you are constantly breaking down muscle and rebuilding it even when completely sedentary. It's a 24-7 thing even without any direct training.
