Now, the reason I'm interested in the one muscle group per workout routine, is because if I were to workout more than one muscle group in a workout, I wouldn't have as much energy to put forth in the last half as in the first half. Correct me if I'm wrong, but every consequtive set past the first causes your body to lose more and more energy, therefore the last half of the workout would be much less quality than the first half. This is my philosophy on lifting. Do you think the loss of energy isn't significant enough to really matter?
