[warbird00]

yeah, im pretty sure hola bola did a 7 day split log
search it

[bluesky95]

I do about 6 days per week... but muscle groups get 2 full days rest during it, so it works for me.

M- Back, Bi
T- Chest, Shoulder, Tri
W- Legs, Abs
Th- Same as M
F- Same as T
S- Same as W
Su- Rest

*** Keep in mind though, with this schedule I haven't been lifting crazy hard or anything. If you were lifting very heavy and intense, it wouldn't be very practical to do 3 muscle groups on one day like my T and F...

The main reason I like this is because many of the lifts I do compliment the target and synergist muscles that I do on that day...

[demonwareltd]

Obviously Beginning of Month, Middle of Month and End of Month...I think

[Struct09]

bom = beginning of message
mom = middle of message
eom = end of message

[brigg554]

3-5 days a week should be max...if you do a 6 daya week routine, every 2-3 months you shoud take a week or 2 OFF from everything! fatigue can lead to overtraining

A kid at my school lifts 7 days a week. He's got tone and some muscle, but little size

[MoonMan12]

I do, its no big. I don't lift so hard on 3 days, just mostly cardio and supplementary stuff. I eat a ****load to make up for it.

[IrockZ]

i do a seven day split.. pm me if u want to know more.. i dont really feel like typing it rite now...

[IrockZ]

lol im lazy

[ZDub212]

I don't believe in a 7 day split, because there's no rest/recovery time. Maybe you separate the bodyparts, but most all exercises can utilize either the back or core. That's a lot of fatigue. To break a plateau, I could see you mixing it up, but 7 days allows for minimal repair IMO.

EMO as opposed to eom

More doesn't always mean better. Your muscles do not grow during your work outs. You are only tearing them at that time. They grown during healing times between work outs. If you do not allow muscles the proper time to heal then you are guilty of what is called over-training, and in fact that can cause you to lose muscle. Some people find unique ways to try 7 day per week cycles, however my suggestion would be a 4-5 day routine followed by a good 48 hours of rest with no weight training. Allow your muscles ample time to heal and grow. Here is the split I use.

Sunday: Off
Monday: Bi, Tri, Forearms, Abs, cardio
Tuesday: Shoulders/Traps, cardio
Wednesday: cardio
Thursday:Chest/Back, cardio
Friday: Legs, cardio
Saturday: Off

training 7 days a week doesnt always equal overtraining, i'm sure if you kept the volume very low like 2 warm up sets and 1 work set per exercise, or something similar, that you could do it without overtraining.

just like you can overtrain doing a 4 day split by doing way too much volume.

Yep, 7 days = uneducated

[IrockZ]

When you get some age on you, come back and tell me how you feel lifting 7 days with no rest. The biggest mistake young lifters make is training too often. You grow at rest not in the gym.

like i said if the volume is kept very low like 1 work set per exercise and 2-3 exercises per day, it can be done. but you cant go 7 days a week forever you will eventually need time for rest.

edit: you'd probably need time off every few weeks


read about this guy dr size

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/becker27.htm

he curled 315 for 5 reps, and benched over 800 pounds, and his method of training was training the same bodypart for 8-10 days straight and then taking 2-3 days off rest. now sure this wont work for everyone, but why dont you try telling this guy that it doesnt work and that he's "uneducated"

I thought we where talking 7 days a week every week no rest. If we are, then I stand by what I said. What you are taking about is not the same.

i said 7 days a week could work, but some time off would be needed in a few weeks, can you not read?

[MoonMan12]

I work different parts. I'm a teenager, so I guess its hard for me to get in the way of putting on size.

When I said "I thought we", I was taking about the thread starter and everyone else, not just you. And yes I can read. I read that crap you said about half assing it so you could lift 7 days straight. That was pure ****.
Why not do it right and take the needed rest days and quit making stupid **** up.

To the guy who said he does lift 7 days no rest, whatever. The top trainers in the world would never tell someone to follow a split like that. You say it works for you, keep doing it, I don't give a rats ass. I would never tell anyone to train on a split like that and can't think of anyone who would, except you.

let's see some pics of you old man, i bet that guy lifting 7 days a week looks better than you ever have or ever will, just because your old ass cant handle it doesnt mean it doesnt work
