Works for some people.

I personally don't, as i'm getting the results only training each bodypart every 7 days but i wouldn't rule it out if i felt i had a weak bodypart.

Building muscle is different for everyone, what works for me or you might not work for the next man.

I think what Coldo said is spot on, for me it didn't work very well in muscle building but when doing different style of training leading up a fight it improved my cardio much quicker than 1 day 1 group.

MY advice is just to try it, some can recover quick enough and some cant a few people at my gym have seen really good results.

Personally for me i like to give my focus almost 100% on 1 group per day so i can feel i achieved the correct level of destruction on my muscles lol.

Cheers... I already do it twice a week and have done from day one. Like you say, I am thinking if I do less I will be able to train harder. Not that I don't give it my all, but I'll have more to give if you know what I mean. I am going to try once a week and it and see how it goes.

begginers, once a week IMO, as your muscles friggin ache for a week anyway

Benni

I always thought beginners can do it more, as they are lifting a lot less. I'll tell you what does ache whenever I train chest, my arm pits.

I always hit something twice a week, Fri is what i call my free day as ive already done all Bodyparts by then, I train whatever i feel is either lagging and/or able.

BUT i wouldnt advise that for a Newbie, Once a week is plenty for most.

focuschivvy

use deoderant then you smelly cunt, sounds like B.O is rotting them

I only train one body part a week. I find for me it gives me enough time to recover and also allows me the time needed to train that part intensively. If I was to train everything twice I would have to half my workout time on each part per session.

As for the armpits hurting, whereabouts? Don't forget your chest is tied in to the front of your shoulder so if its at the front its probably the chest muscle.

Benni

It's the front of the arm pit but in a little if you know what I mean.. After I've trained chest it hurts when I do any pushing excercises, more so on my shoulder press. Doesn't bother me at all, but I didn't think it was normal.

Thank's for that great advice, Chivvy, but when I go the gym everyone else leaves so I'll stick to being a smelly man.

I get the sore armpits aswell sometimes, its always at the front and i put it down to getting a real good stretch when doing dumbell flyes. I thought it was normal. i.e. stretch a muscle it will ache.
