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?

I'm assuming you're a small guy w/ small arms b/c looking at your routine....your Tri's are getting worked to some degree 5 days in a row!!! And your abs are just like any other muslce, they need rest too. Doing them everyday, they're gonna get overtrained very easily too. Your muscles don't grow in the gym, they grow when they're being rested. When you lift, you're tearing the muscle fibers, and when they heal, they heel slightly bigger and stronger each time. With you tearing them down every day or 5 days in a row, you're not giving them time to heal at all which means they won't grow either.

OK advice taken,
so I channged it to
Mon - Chest and tris
Tue - upper Abs and Shoulders
Wed - Off
Thur - Back and Bis
Fri - Legs and lower abs
Better? I can tell you after a week I notice that bis and tris really tire out at the end of a work out. Thanks
