why train more than 3 times in a week?

[anabolichalo]

if they claim you only workout each muscle once a week

you can just do

monday: chest and arms

wednesday: thighs and calves

friday: shoulders and back


?

Anything works on gear. Training one body part per week is complete bullshit.

Thinking in terms of "bodypart" when training is complete bullshit.

except for maybe legs, but upper can be trained 2 or maybe even 3 times per week, depending upon rep scheme

Legs as well. We train legs twice per week. One heavy (1-3 reps) and when we don't have a dynamic day, we have a rep day (8-12 reps)

I always see you say this but you never actually say what kind of routine 3 full body workouts a week involves.

do you ever do 50 or 100 rep sets?

i'll go as high as 20-25 reps, and a friend of mine recommended that i try some 50 rep sets but i just couldn't stay concentrated long enough to stay with that high of reps

We will with some of ou personal training clients.

[Griffith]

I train one day on, one day off.

I get the best gains this way, have higher energy, more motivation and burn-out less.

what do you think of interrupted sets?

for example on leg press do 5 reps and then stay in the locked out postion for a count of 10 and then do another 5 reps and do this 4 times through

and then once you can get 5 reps in all 4 "sets" increase the weight
