Mixing up traing when you hit body parts 2 times a week.

[eastarr69]

I was wondering if any of you guys hit body parts 2 times a week...and if so, how do you hit them..i generally train heavy, but i was think of running a heavy day with lower reps like i generally do, then hit it again later in the week with lighter weight and more reps. Would this work ok, or would it be a waste? I can continue to train heavy all the time, but at 38, my body does not fix itself as it used to....any suggestion?

The only time I trained a body part twice a week was which a training split and routine from a guy who writes for Anabolic Extreme named Dogg. I would definitely reccomend reading his stuff. Go read all his cycling for pennies articles and Doggpound training. It's very different but worked well for me.

I do chest twice a week, one is light and the other is heavy

Try it and see how your body reacts. Everyone is different. I personally have never benefitted from trainning body parts twice a week although there are alot of pro BB who do it. My opinion is you have to be a genetic freak to work for you.

Twice a week is way too much in my opinion.Unless your recovery abilities are far superior to others

I trained twice a week for about three months till I deemed it unnessesary. 5x5 routine now, thanks to the guys here.
