Serious Bodybuilding Workout Split

[owentrier]

I've found this one the internet and should be credited to Hugo Rivera.

My goal is to use the program for 24 weeks. I want to gain size and be totally rip. I'm 41 at 205 and 5'10 tall. I've also just started using GH 191aa Blue Top last week.

Please, any feedback would greatly appreciated.

One Major Muscle Group Per Day Advanced Bodybuilding Workout Split

In a one major muscle group per day workout split, bodybuilding workouts are designed in such a way that only one muscle group is targeted in each bodybuilding workout. This is a great way to train for very advanced bodybuilders who are significantly strong and can generate such a high level of intensity in each workout that training less frequently will allow for better results and recovery. Again, this routine should only be used by those bodybuilders who have spent years training using higher frequency splits such as the antagonistic muscles workout split.

There are two advantages to this workout split:

1. It allows the advanced bodybuilder to just concentrate on the body part at hand and work it from all possible angles. At advanced level, the goal is to not only build new muscle mass but also to correct any imbalances and achieve perfect symmetry (or harmony between body parts). 


2. It allows the muscle to better recover from the high volume and intensity required from this advanced level of training.

Below you will find a good examples of how I set up my personal one muscle group per day split. One thing that I love about this split is the fact that I can really specialize on my quad and hamstring training as there is one day dedicated to each of these body parts.

Training Notes

• Calves get trained on each leg day. 

• As a good rule of thumb, you can perform 20-25 sets for quads and hamstrings, and 15-20 sets for the chest, back, and shoulders. Calves, biceps and triceps can be trained with 14-16 sets. Abs can be trained later in the day every other day for about 12 sets with cardiovascular exercise. More genetically gifted bodybuilders may be able to get away with more, but this amount works for most. 

• Advanced hardgainers are better off using a 3 day on, one day off protocol where each body part gets 8 days before it gets trained directly again. Also, they should limit the amount of sets to 15-16 for quads and hamstrings, and 14 sets for the chest, back, and shoulders. Abs, calves, biceps and triceps can be trained with 10-12 sets.

isnt it always good to have a day off every 1-2 days of training for the central nervous system to fully recover?

Exactly, you'll get burned out quickly on a schedule like that one.
