Lift 6-7x days a week?

[DroppingPlates]

Fuck that. My body is a crybaby. I have to slap it around.

So you hear your body saying "I'm a crybaby" and as a response you 'slap it around'? Well, that's listing to your body as well  

agreed..everyday when I wake up, my brain says "lets go"...my body then answers "fuck you".

Being black explains that situation very well...

one big meal in the evening.

used to be every other day. now every day.

Are you a lion? Seriously, if Anabolichalo hadn't lost his mind, he would be all over this "one big meal" thing with his rapturous love of all things feline predator.

Don't foresee ever going back to doing muscle groups less then twice a week.

How about listening to your body?

This! Sometimes I can do a lot more in the gym than I might not be able to do on another day, but it all depends on different variables, food, sleep, etc. Screw using those bs "programs" word for word, you have to use what works for you personally because everyone responds differently.

Alright, party due to this thread I have decided to lift every day until my body tells me I need a rest day. I've finished day 8 in a row and I'm looking forward to shoulders tomorrow.

Four day split: chest/tris, back/bis, legs, shoulders

To the OP, I've talked to Tbombz and as a reward for starting this thread he has agreed to suck your cock.

I need a rest day just for reading this post.

Part of the reason I'm doing it is I will be away from the weights for a week for Christmas related foolishness and I want to need the recovery time.

When I return I'll get back to the same thing, only take a day off if the thought of lifting seems shitty.

I'll report how it's going.

Been applying no one principles for a few months now with minor tweaks, and I am very pleased with the results. I am getting much leaner and have more muscle size.

My routine:
chest, shoulders and tries.
Back, bi, and abs
Legs, traps and cardio

Train each muscle for about 15 sets.
5-10 seconds max rests between sets (it seems like a huge super set)
No rest (been going straight for 3 weeks now). Only take a rest when I really can't move.
Forget the weight shit and ego lifting, you will have much more intensity and remain injury-free.

Ideally I want to squeeze the 3 days split into 2 or maybe 1 (no one method) but I am enjoying this routine so much and I am very satisfied with the gains that I am still giving it a go!

Trolling in overdrive I see..
Someone who trains in real life would understand this. NOt some fucktard who just clacks away on a keyboard talking about it...

it's easy to train hard but hard to train smart.
Hope that's not too advanced for you to understand.

Mon - Chest/Back/Calves

Tuesday - Shoulders/Arms/Abs

Wednesday - Legs

Thursday - Chest/Back/Calves

Friday - Shoulders/Arms/Abs

Saturday - Legs

Sunday - Off

Training a body part once a week is useless.

Any suggestions for exercises and sets/reps using free-weights?

Thanks.

Not ideal. But whatever makes you happy. I don't  have the energy, and 10 months out of the year I don't have the time, being in a doctoral program with household responsibilities as well.

my new training routine in the winter months is geared towards training hard and holding on to my muscle,then in march change my diet around to very low/zero carbs and focus on training lighter and super strict form and mold/chisel myself.at 50 im smart enough to realize that for me to try to get bigger is not a good move,im prolly gonna get injured training to get get bigger cause im gonna have to go heavier. im not ahuge guy but im not a total wimp either so i figure ill just try to chisel what i have and workout alittle lighter,super strict form and diet really intense to get where i want,and that is a nice,chiseled,hard as a rock build

Eh, nonsense. Sometimes I've trained for weeks straight with no breaks. Granted, Ive always had a decent diet. Back in the day people used to train 6x per week all the time. Now all of a sudden if you train more than 5x per week you're over training. Who comes up with this shit?

i did experiance CNS burnout in my younger days,i was training a double split 7 days a week and was natural,after 1 month i was sick all the time,diarrea,just wiped the fuck out 24/7 and my resting heart rate was off the charts it was so high in the morning when i woke up. i didnt even want to train anymore to be honest. a neurologist told me that i burned out my adrenals and needed a break for 3 weeks and relax, he did some test on me to come to that conclusion.i was also doing cardio everyday on top of that,my training was brutal also,im talking forced reps on every set,negatives ect
