This week I am going to begin training body parts 2-3x every 9 days.
I have been doing each body part 1x per week for the last year, and I want to try something new.
I recently have been training higher rep with less weight, with no rest periods..... I like it quite a bit so far.

[chess315]

So I should go in and do 2 sets of barbell curls with a 50 pound barbell 7 X a week.........c`mon dude,just train everything fucking hard 1-2 X per week if you prefer,eat good,rest good and recover,and repeat.

Fuck the dumb shit!

training muscles near every days has or was becoming popular in powerlifting circles I'm pretty sure you could get it to work half ass or good try it. I have also heard of people training a weak point low intensity every day kinda pumping to bring it up.

Lasst year I increased volume and trained everything twice a week.............liked it a lot compared to everything once weekly.

You build by eating more variety and amount plain and simple. Youll eat LESS and assimilate LESS if you REST

as the barbarian brothers used to say "there is no over-training, only under-eating"

Thanks for the replies.  

I'm not going to squat or deadlift daily, just a few upper body lifts per day. My idea is to go heavy once a week or so and the rest of the workouts would be lighter. Daily volume will be low.

Something like this (5-6 days per week)

bench 1-2 sets (1 set if i do 20-50 reps)
pull ups/chins 2 sets
rows 1-2 sets
----
shoulders and arms will be done 3-4 times per week (after the main 3 exercises). 1-2 sets per session.

Maybe I also do 2x/day on some days.

Time per session: no more than 25min. Lots of short frequent workouts avoiding failure (except maybe on the heavy day).

I'm just bored with regular bodybuilding routines  . I want to try some new stuff. I been inspired by watching youtube videos of people doing a lot of bodyweight exercises...chins, push ups etc. I want to get that athletic feeling back again and if possible also see if i can grow a bit....

I even dug up some studies on pubmed showing very rapid growth in people who trained muscle groups 6-12 times per week. Just short term studies but still.

Would be cool if we could get a getbig experiment group going? Anyone interested?

high level powerlifters have actually benched,squated and deadlifted almost daily with good results I don't think its optimal but not as stupid as one would think.

I've trained my calves as part of my warm-up at least 3X a week for years. As long as you adequately stretch the area it has worked out well. But that's not saying shoulder joints and rotator cuffs can take that kind of workload.

you'll like it.

advise- keep workouts 1/2 hr or less, less than 20-30 seconds between sets. get in get out. rest recover. hit it again in another 3 days.

[ritch]

no bluntly answer your question... NO, but to be honest, I've never tried it as it would fry my CNS.

gymast's probably train every thing everyday

makes a complete mockery of the meatheads 'one body part a week' mantra

If you want a long read of exactly what i did from day to day,then have a look at this thread,i start posting on page 2,half way down (Dave S),been doing something similar now for the last year and i`m the biggest i`ve ever been.I`m coming up to my 49th birthday,not touched gear since 1993,and my arms are the one bodypart in particular thats improved.

yes calves and Abs are another thing. I train each muscle group 1x a week because if i do more i get shoulder problems. I have trained on a 4 day split training each muscle group 2x a week was Ok but a 3 on 1 off kills my joints. Training a muscle EVERY Day will not work for long. OK, push ups and bodyweight stuff will be OK up to a point but i think there will come a point of Burnout and no more gains. You may maintain some muscle but strength will in my opinion be lost over time.

In a nutshell Tim,i did 1 exercise per bodypart for 50 reps a set,
chest -bench press,back-pulldowns,shoulers-press,triceps-ext,biceps-preachers,legs-squats,and i wrote the number of reps down in a book.If i did 50 reps,i added 1 and a quarter kg extra next day which dropped me down to about 40-42 reps and i managed to add an extra rep every day to the total.On squats i started with an empty bar to get used to the cardio side but within a few weeks was doing 50 reps with 2 plates a side.I never got sore at all,except after 1 month in when i upped the weight and aimed to get 15-20 reps,thats the point when i think you are taxing the CNS,and i had to do a 1 on 1 off routine.The biggest improvement was my arms,they have never been as big as they are now.At the moment i`m trying something a bit different but will go back to the 50 reps every day workout as summer approaches.Hardest part is the mental side of doing 50 reps on squats,but the funny thing is,when you get used to it,and move up the weight and drop the reps to 15-20,then 20 reps feels like a "low rep set",because the breathing is used to the 50 rep set.

[crownshep]

I`m just having a re-read of what i wrote on ironage,and at the 4 week mark i did a strength test on bench press,pulldowns and squats,for a 1 rep max and the squat was the biggest jump,44lb in total,but i did notice the next day i had a sore throat and a cold.When doing the 50 reps set i always felt fresh 10 mins after and great the next day.The heavier weights and 1 rep maxs are what hits the CNS.

[wes]

Interesting stuff Shep !

I know exactly what you mean about 20 reps sets feeling like low rep sets as I have done leg presses for 50 and 100 reps............unreal pain and cardiovascular agony,don`t think my lower back would allow me to squat for 50 reps though.

Thank you  Very interesting stuff. Will read it all. I'm definately going to do this. As mentioned I'm thinking of going heavy once a week and the rest of the workouts will be higher reps. Sets will be low so I can train almost daily.

Nonsense.
