| Re: Full Body Routine Frequency?
Full body routines are fine, if you play your cards right. If you do only 1 exercise for each muscle group, and split the routine up some, there's no arm in that.
In example, working only a compound exercise for shoulders, which is military press, is a good idea. Why? I'll tell you.
You may think you're only working the shoulders once a week. But in reality, you're working them with nearly every exercise you do. Which is why overtraining is so popular when doing more than 1 exercise for each muscle group.
During bench press, your shoulders get killed, as well as chins, bent over rows, deadlifts, etc.
A routine in example
Day 1 - Push
Bench Press
OHP
Dips
Day 3 - Pull
Deadlift
Bent Over Row
Wide Grip Chins
Day 5 - Legs
Squat
Stiff-Leg Deadlifts
Hanging Leg Raises.
Good luck with your training. |
