Your not going to start stalking people are ya?

I got to da gym 4 days a week for resistance, I just started last week a 4 day split, coming off a 3 days split and im loving it. I run 5 days a week on streets for around 45min.

[Sakura]

I'm pretty sure you could find that out by reading the diary section.

The journals are very detailed regarding training.

[startinfromscratch]

5 day split, early afternoons.

what does "4 day split mean"

and errrr....whats the address of the place u go gyming? :shifty:

[GreekAdonis]

It means he goes 4 days a week and splits them up over the week.

For example my 4 day split is:

Mon: Chest/Triceps

Tue: Legs

Wed: Rest

Thu: Back/Biceps

Fri: Shoulders/Abs

Sat: Rest

Sun: Rest

WHY is that necessary?

[TapDat]

WHY is that necessary?

Mabe to see if she can spot us and show us the " canteen lady jiggles".

I go to a gym names sports wide in wellington city. Its average, nothing to write home about.

[teamfatboy]

It varies... from now: three times a week, once a day, for an hour, to

last year: six days a week, twice a day, forty-fifty minutes/time, plus 2 40-50min cardio sessions at home (no kidding, read last year's journal!).

But the question has no meaning unless you understand what the person's trying to do....

[severe]

currently 3 times a week, at about 9pm. the place is pretty deserted by then...

6 sets of 3 reps (weight is approx my 6 rep max) with 30 seconds rest between each set.

Chest, shoulders, tri's

Back, traps, biceps

Legs

abs every second visit

[Laver]

Ideally between 7 - 10 sessions a week!

Morning and Evening, Olly Training, gogogogo

were u training for a marathon?

or losing weight?

[autechre]

4 day split for me, usually go after work ~4-5pm.

Occasionally throw in a 5th day of cardio/abs depending on whether i've done enough during the week

The cardio was for fatburning, was all - and the split routine was just about "shocking the body" - no single training schedule will work for ever, the body's an amazingly resilient system which eventually adapts to all manner of external stress. So it's good to mix-it-up from time to time.

[VampireChick]

Approximately 8 times per week (5 weight training AM, 3 cardio PM)

5 Day Split

M: Chest

T: Back

W: Legs

T: Shoulders

F: Arms

S: Rest

S: Rest

Then I try to get in at least 3 extra cardio sessions in the afternoon if I have time - or perhaps on one of my days off.

Basically trying to get the body % down and work on my muscle mass.

[SamWelly]

My split is just based on how I feel, If my bi's are sore I cant do back, and sore tri's mean no chest or shoulders.

Try to do this normally tho:

Monday: Legs - Quads, Hammies, Calfs ( Heavy Day)

Tuesday: Chest - Biceps, Pecs, Bench (Heavy Day)

Wednesday: Back - Overall back including Traps (Volume)

Thursday off

Friday: Shoulders - Inlcine Chest -Triceps, Calfs (Heavy Day)

Saturday: Deadlifts - Lower back, anything lacking. (Heavy Day - Volume)

Sunday off

[jmax88]

just make sure each muscle group gets atleast 4 days rest before you hammer it again. tear and repair

Some muscles recover quicker than others - All depends on each persons recovery time. I am sweet to train back and chest 2-3 days apart, I spent a long time hitting some muscles once a week and have some real weaknesses in some parts more than others - namely hammies and calfs. If it aint growin in proportion to the rest of you then hit it harder or twice a week IMO.

[hankforce]

2 on 1 off for me, a little different but works right now. Between 6-7pm

Run to and from gym for cardio

Back - Core - Rest - Chest - Wheels - Rest - Shoulders - Arms - rest etc etc

Every 3 weeks I alternate between fail at 5th rep and a fail at 8-12 set up, keeps it fresh(ish)

I prefer to nuke one body part then it gets 9 days to recover, every now and again I'll have a olympic lift day for fun.

[AlBundy]

I reckon our bodies ability to repair and recover is dependent largely on the stimulus. After all you get guys who have extremely physical jobs 5 days a week who only get one rest period to repair before the next day.
