Dragonlor Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 doing quads/hams on the same day may be a little rough and might want to split it up depending on your training style. Same thing for chest/back, 2 big muscle groups on the same day is gonna be pretty hard going. Just my opinion though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterTel Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I agree with Dragonlor's suggestion. Mind you, it's a great idea to try new things to find out what works for you. With most if not all aspect of training, the body adapts very quickly, so it's a good idea to mix things up now and again.As well as splitting ham and quad training into separate workouts - why not split your upper body training into "push" and "pull" days i.e. chest/shoulders/tricep (push exercices) one day and back/bicep (pull) another. Ideally do the larger muscle groups (chest/back) first in those two workout, but reversing it can also be another idea to "shock" new growth and pre-exhaust the smaller muscle groups.Just another few options for you to try.

Pseudonym Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 I also think chest and back together sounds like too much hard work! And the day after that is a little on the light side. Personally, I'd try and even the load a bit.However, like MT, I'm a big fan of playing around with your routine. It's certainly something different, and that might mean it's exactly the shock your body needs right now. But I wouldn't look at it as a long-term routine.

IronGame Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I am currently trainingMon - Quads, hamies, calfsWed- Back and chestFri Shoulders, Bi's, Tri'sThey are killer sessions usually 2 hrs plus, but plenty of time to grow inbetween. And to be honest my strength and weight have shot up since I started training like this 3 weeks ago.Nice change from the old six day split anyway, I'll stick with this for another 2-3 weeks then go tho a frequency style program Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigboy Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 I split up muscel groups so that when I train 5-6 days a week I am actually training the different group 3 times a week with rest in between.Also, one has to coordinate lighter traning days with heavier types fo exercises. For example, doing a lot of really big muscles groups along with heavy squats would be a killer of a session -so I try to balance out traning so it is about even each day.
