Hey Guys,
This question has been bugging me lately
I train like this.
Mon-Chest/Bis (opposing muscles)
Tues-Back/Tris (opposing muscles)
Wed- Legs/Shoulders
Thurs-Chest/bis
Fri-Back/Tris.
Usually 3 exercises per muscle (eg Chest is Flat bench, Incline flys and cable flys) 10 reps with slight pyramiding. Chest I do 10, 8, 6, 3, 8, 20. I go from 100@10 to 200@3 then back to 100@20. The rest is usually 10 reps with the middle set up a bit of weight and the last set up slightly again.
Abs - everyday (used to do 300 crunches but now do low reps with weights - works much better)
plus I start out with a 3 mile run (treadmill) in about 20-21 min or 20 min of orbital.
What I dont understand is how youare supposed to build muscle training only once a week. (I am looking to go on the 5x5) I especially dont understand when you are on something like M1T when you are on for only 2 weeks. That means you only work your chest twice, how would you notice any gains?
Is there anything wrong with my assumption that twice a week is better?
