i have a few quesitons bros... i just would like to know how many different work outs do u guys do per body part??? i dont know if im doing to many or not enough?? and also how do u combine work outs.. with different muscles??? mines looking like this

mon-chest
tues- back
wed-off
thus- shoulders traps
fri- arms
sat- legs
sun- off
 
Well, mines different to most people and I'm sure everyone here would think it was overtraining, but this is it anyways:

Mon: Chest/Tris
Tues: Back/Bi's
Wed: Shoulders/Legs
Thurs: Repeat Mon
Fri: Repeat Tues
Sat: Repeat Wed
Sun: Rest Day

Cardio is done for 45mins at 6am everyday. I know this is very different but what works for you may not work for someone else etc etc. Its important to keep your recovery in order but I seem to recover quite quickly.

imo your overtraining your triceps . theres no way to do a pressing movement like benchpresses , over presses , etc. without hitting your tris as well so right now your hitting tris on monday/chest, thursday/shoulders,friday/arms thats too much dont work tris on arm day just do some tricep work after chest on monday , close grip and reverse grip banching will both hit chest some as well as blast those tris far better than all the tricep kickbacks in the world .
 
yeah true.. but i have found i get alot better pumps when i do tris and bis together..and that i cant put enough effort into my tris after doing chest.. because im to tierd???
 
should i be training each body part twice a week??? im going on a bulkin cycle what would be the best kinda of routine for that?>

do you want a pump or do you want to get bigger?
 
i always thought pumps were a good sign of muscle gains? i wanna bulk
thats my main goal.. my cycle starts in jannuary and i need to some up with a split.. cna u guys help me out?? tahnks dadawg sounds good.. im always just afraid that if i do to important muscle groups ie shoulders chest.. one wont get the attention it deserves??
 
pumps dont necessarily equate to muscle growth..dawg gave you great advice about grouping muscles..take a look at the training sticky's ome good routines are 5x5..pullinbig has a routine as well
 
what about
mon- chest
tues- off
wed- back bis
thurs-off
fri-shoulders tri
sat-legs
sunday-off

3 days isnt to much rest bro , you dont grow in the gym yo grow while you rest and eat .the training just stimulates the growth .
as for chest/bis and back/tris some people like it but if you continue to train shoulders on a seperate day you will be right back to working tris 3 days a week .
 
true..what do u think would be better? chest and shoulders together.. or chest and tris?.. also how many times should u train a body part a week? some ppl do it twice?? does this mean your able to grow twice a week instead of once?

im going to suggest you follow this routine by PB..your questions are very basic and you sound very new..there is nothing wrong with being new but i think you can benefit more from this routine than worrying about how to split up body parts..there are also videos in the sticky above that detail most of te exercises as well...here what i would follow if iwere you

Monday:
Squats 2 x 5
Box squats 2 x 4
Leg presses 2 x 5 (pick two of these pressing movements)
Calves (your choice of exercise) 2 x 10

Tuesday:
Wide grip flat bench 2 x 6
Decline medium grip bench 2 x 6
Weighted dips 2 x 10
Upright rows or side laterals 2 x 10

Thursday:
Dead lifts 2 x 5 (or a variation of)
Bent over rows 2 x 4
Reverse grip narrow grip pull downs 2 x 6
Standing wide grip curls 2 x 8

Every one of these movements is a mass building exercise. These are the essential movements for putting on size. Rest and nutrition are just as important as lifting, neglect any one of the three and you will not grow. Juice or no juice all will grow with this routine or a similar one. Consistency is the key. Adding 5 lbs to the bar every other week equals 130lbs/year. Not bad considering many are moving the same weight year in year out. Strength gains are the key to growth, not other way around.

I hope this helpful to all who read it. I have designed many programs for a variety of athletes with varying needs. If you have special needs such as martial arts, football or gymnastics (to name a few) the program can be altered to accommodate these needs.
 
im not that new.. well on this board i am i have been lifting for about 5 solid years.. im not asking questioins im asking your opinions .. i know what it takes for me to see results im just wondering about different methods of working out.
 
so how many times a week do u guys train each body part? i heard if u train it twice it is stimulated to grow twice that week?
