training each body part 1 time per week?

[dodah]

is this still the norm while juicing? i used to blast each bodypart 1 time a week while juicing..12 sets each body part..any suggestions wellcome..

 

[BiggieSwolls]

Once a week for me except calves(twice a week). Oh ya, except abs too(2-3 times a week) but only when Im dieting.

But I dont do 12 sets for each. It varies, for back I do up to 20 sets, chest about 14, shoulders about 12, tri's 10, bi's 7-8, etc...

IMO, it doesnt make sense to train bi's with 12 sets and back also with 12 sets because one of those muscles is about 20 times bigger then the other.

That's the way I train, each body part once per week.

thanks guys, appreciate the feedback biggieswolls, that makes sence bro, i may have to try that..

 

[YellowJacket]

Yup, same here. Once a week, calves twice.

 

[Jyzza]

Once a week...claves 2x and they still don't want to grow...lol

7-8 day split is what i do, your body doesnt know how long a week is. I go low reps (4-6) high volume of sets 16-20
chest/caves
back
tris
bis/calves
legs
delts
rest
rest or repeat

Once a week. Calves 2x. Thinking about calves 3x. If that doesn't work, I'm gonna put them in a dark closet for awhile and let them think about it. Once a week is pretty much the norm on the other boards as well.

 

[Exkon]

Once a week here as well.

Abs twice a week

 

[dodah]

Hey bro, maybe you can take mine and throw them in there also. They need a little disipline as well...

 

[LAUNDRYSUPPLIES]

I used to hit 2 times a week while on, but i had a tendency to overtrain, and since i am always in pain, i went to a 4 day a week gig.....chest, bis, tris-shoulders,back-legs....

I do 'em 2 to 3 times a week. Some people say that because they're stabilizers, you can work em' more frequently. I couldn't STAND to work 'em 5x/week!
I do body parts once per week too, except abs. Should probably increase calves to twice because they suck, seemingly like everyone else's.

 

[needsize]

1x a week here, either on or off, I just increase the intensity and set total while on

 

[Nutri-Wrestler]

i do once a week training. i need to start doing abs twice a week, wait, let me reprase that, i need to start doing abs

 

[nekrawulf]

I do once a week with a 5x5 base routine

 

[anabolicdragon]

I am going to try hitting each bodypart twice a week for the whole summer. I have trained one bodypart a week with volume training for over 6 yers now, I think it is time to change up the way I do shit.
Going to train H.I.T style, hitting each muscle group 2 times a week, except for abs hitting them 3 times a week with 2 days a week of cardio.
