Grouping and frequency?

[ranger556]

I'm trying to refine my regime to increase my effectiveness. What body groups should be worked on the same day and how many days a week should I work that set of body groups.

Primarily I want to know about chest, biceps, triceps, legs, shoulders, upper and lower back.

Thanks

There are too many different variations for a proper answer. You can do anything.

^Keep it simple, not complicated, something pretty basic, again nothing too complicated, maybe something like this..

Mon - upper chest, calves
Tues -inner quads, bicep long head
Wed - lower chest, bicep short head
Thurs - hamstrings, lower back
Fri - upper back, abs, outer quads
Sat - middle back, forearms
Sun - triceps, obliques

Great question.

If you work Chest and Upper Back on the same day, there are a lot of shoulder muscles that will get cross-worked in the process. It isn't greatly effective at targeting the pecs or lats, but they will get trained none the less.

The lower back is an area that can be trained extensively when combined with lower body and upper back. It gets trained when you do seated able rows, and when you do squats/deadlifts.

Remember though, that the seated cable row gets muscles around the upper back area too, so you have the upper back and lower back in one exercise that can be coordinated with the chest or legs. Lots of people wouldn't recommend doing all three of these areas (back, legs, and chest) on the same day.
