Your workout schedule

Mine is 8 reps to fail everyday for everything (arms to legs); and a break on weekends. imo everyday workouts is how you get muscles really quick. Whats your workout schedule?

Something to consider is not going to fail on every workout. Mix it up some. Muscle likes to get into a rhythm. If you concentrate on a single workout regiment, you'll train the muscles to only work in one way. That's great if you only use them for one thing (like body building for looks or for specific sports) but if you plan on using them for a variety of activities you'll want to go high weights low reps for a while and then reverse that.


My best gains start after the third week once I've changed my workout plan.

4 days a week about an hour
when i get the time

When I have the time to do it;

Day 1:

Chest/Bi's & Abs ~ 2hours

Day 2:

Legs & Obliques ~ 1.5 hours ( I sometimes do all my legs, other day I just do qauds & calves)

Day 3:

Shoulders/Bi's & abs ~ 2 hours

Day 4:

Back/Tri's & calves ~ 2 hours

Day 5:

Chest/ Bi's & abs ~ 2 hours


That's when I have to time, Day 6 is rest and I often switch up my everything very often, like a legs/bi's day, or a chest/tri's day. Some peopel say you should work out everyday, but I get decent rest and never do the same part or a secondary mover twice in two days.

Mine is:

Monday- Friday: Bike Ride for at least one hour and 30 minutes a day.

Saturday- Three hours of Roller Hockey

Sunday: Bike ride for one hour and one hour of roller hockey

I have to practice roller hockey more becasue my season starts in January and practicing starts in early December.

Good advice. I guess im just obsessed with heavyweights because i they develop more mass in the muscles. I was thinking about waiting till i get my muscles where i want them (sizewise) and tone em down after that? Think that will work?

Depends where you want to be, sizewise.

If you get his pace up, you'll be very good at lifting for a few reps, but you'll eventually plateau probably nowhere enar where you want to be.

Train to failure, but only maybe a few tiems a week or only on specific workouts. Muscles need stamina to get toned, and low reps don't build stamina. I'd say go on a hypertrophy plan for a little while and mix it up with strength weeks, even the occasional toning week couldn't hurt either.

horrible for your muscles, not ever a good idea to work the same muscle two days in a row, or more than twice a week. you overtrain and will actualy slow process. I used to do that when i was a freshman worked out for 1 1/2 hours 5 days a week, i made some gains. But now ive started lifting 4 days/week (mon tues thurs fri) and my gains are much bigger, not even a comparison.

monday - 3*15 lunges, 3*15 lateral lunges, squats, straight leg deadlift, dumbell shoulder press plus different other lower body exercises which i change every week

tuesday - incline bench, bench, (dumbell/barbell) tricep (2 exercises, change every week, 3 sets each) dumbell flies, reverse grip bench, one arm barbell benchpress

wednsday - off (except for abdominal work)

thursday - platform work, deadlift, powercleans, hang cleans, pushpress, jerks, etc, <<<<<<<which i do depends on the week, hyperextentions, shrugs, upright rows, other back/trap exercises

friday - arms, 3 sets of 4 bicep exercises, 3 sets of 4 tricep exercises, 3 sets of 2 forearm exercises

this part of my workout takes about 40 min-1 hr

abdominals mon wed fri sun for ~15 min

on mon-fri i ride the bike for 30 min - 45 min, when i have time, and run 2-4 miles.

If you're looking to gain a lot of mass, the key is to not worry about getting fat. Go on a bulk. Eat, eat eat, and get tons of sleep. www.abcbodybuilding.com is a fantastic place to go to learn all you could possibly want about bodybuilding routines etc.

i used to go sunday tuesday and friday or thursday (depending on schedule) and do my entire body over a 2 1/2 hour time period... i went to 24 hour fitness

since i started wrestling about month ago, i do my usual routine on sundays still but i go to my school gym mon - thur..

monday - legs
tuesday - back, bicepts
wednesday - chest, tri's
thursday - shoulders and something from either monday or tuesday... whichever i have time for

i spend an hour at my school gym

i also take gymnastics on thursdays or saturdays which is pretty harsh on abs and arms as well... wrestling takes care of stamina

ok i see that most of u spend approximately 1.5 hours or more in the gym.
i have done alot of reading because i am very health concious. Movin on, i read somewhere that weightlifting for more than an hour produces this stress release hormone which something for tostesterone which is bad for your muscles. Having beleiving that i rush my workout to minimise time so it is always less or at an hour.

Is this correct?
