Which is better, working out one muscle group once per week or twice per week?
For instance, right now my workout schedule is
Monday-back/biceps
Tuesday-chest/triceps
Wednesday-legs/shoulders
Thursday-back/biceps
Friday-chest/triceps
I'm wondering if I might see better results and gain more strength by concentrating only on one muscle group per week. Perhaps,
Monday-Biceps
Tuesday-Chest
Wednesday-Legs
Thursday-Shoulders
Friday-triceps/back
or something like this.
So will I see more results and gain more strength by fully concentrating on one muscle group once per week because I'm FULLY CONCENTRATING or will twice a week give me more because I'm doing MORE work on it.

Great question! The answer is that everyone responds differently to excercise when trying to build muscle. While there are some tried and true general principles to weight training, trial and error is normal when dialing in a routine that works for you. I wouldnt be surprised to see you get results by doing both.. by doing it twice a week for a month, then once a week for a month with more intensity. Variety is the spice of life in many things, weight lifting is one of them

It relies upon on the artwork-outs. once you're saying each and every physique muscle, are you speaking approximately muscle group or each and every certainly muscle? Doing squats and leg presses won't do lots to truthfully isolate and artwork-out each and every muscle on your legs. regardless of the incontrovertible fact that, doing Squats, Leg Press, Lunges, Calf will enhance, qaud and hamstring pulls could be a sturdy start up. what's progression? in case you haven't any longer waited six months, then wait until eventually six months has passes and then ask the question. working each and every muscle 2-three times a week gets you the excellent effects. until eventually you're performing another muscle in intensity interest, consisting of boxing, karate, soccer, basketball, and so on., then only 2 circumstances a week must be adequate. once you're seeking to truthfully exchange your visual attraction, then you particularly ought to understand that their is weight lifting to truthfully be better and weight lifting it relatively is largely for physique development (muscle modeling). Bruce Lee became approximately 5'7 and weighed approximately a hundred thirty lbs. yet he became good and fit. He became approximately getting effects. evaluate that to three pretend television wrestler who's bulging and decide which path you wanna bypass in. finally, how is your weight loss software?

definitely two per day because you will do them more effectively that way, and give them more time to heal
