How often do you train each muscle group?

I have always trained each muscle group twice a week. I have tried once a week every now and then, but never feel like I'm doing enough when I train only once a week. I know everyone will tell you soething different, but I just wanted to know what people here think is the best because I have so little time now, that lifting each muscle once a week wold be so much easier.

HAHAHA :lol:


bet you were wondering where jill was last night?!?!?!?!

try

monday- legs

tuesday-chest/front delts

wednesday-off

thursday-arms

friday-back/rear delts

sat-off

sun-off

i would also limit yourself to 3-4 sets for bulking + warmup

you could also trow in traps 2x a week

imo, i do 2 heavy and one light set, ie. for chest incline barbell, dumbell press and like a flye or cable.

goodluck

i lift 1x a week, 4 days a week.

mon - legs
tues - delts/bi's
wed-off
thurs-chest
fri-back
sat-off
sun-off

i'm always sore for at least 2 days though..

Monday - back & bis
Tueday - quads
Wednesday - chest & tris
Thrusday - calves & shoulders
Friday - Hamms

I generally do it this way and I'm finished within forty-five minutes. I change type of exercises week to week and chage up rep, sets and weight ever 12 - 16 weeks...it works for me.

chest,legs,back,bis,shoulders once a wk calves and abs 4times a wk now and tris twice a wk

My .02 for the busy guy....

Monday - Squats Regular Hamms
Tuesday - Chest and Bi's
Wed. - Off
Thursday - Front Squats, Hacks
Friday - Delts and Tri'e
Sat Back and Traps. ( never done it this way til recently and love it)
Sunday - Off
Alternate abs and calves thru the week

This is where its at.....
Good plan

Everything except calves once per week (calves twice, but split into gastrocs and soleus).

Twice a week. Once a week was not enough for me. I do a 3 day split, rest for 1 day and start the 3 day split over again.
