Targeted groups

[AllofaSutton]

What are the best muscle groups to target in a workout session if I only have 3 days to workout?

[TolerantLactose]

All of them.

Them all of.

My full body routine directly trains the following in this order(2 exercises and 3 sets an exercise per muscle, unless stallbreaking then 1 exercise for 6 sets a muscle):

delts
biceps
triceps
forearms
back
chest
quads
hams
tibialis
calves

note: no abs because I like to hit those on non lifting days, I feel like it works great in tandem with cardio and pushes my results further

I’m surprised people devote an appreciable amount of time to a tiny muscle that flexes their toes.

Not knocking you, I just don’t get it.

Actually that's an interesting concern. I thought quite similarly for a long time, til I heard about it preventing shin splints. At that point, my interest had been raised but injury prevention still wasn't quite enough of a reason for me to add the extra 6 sets into my sessions. Then I remember watching a video(I think it was by miamimuscle) where he proposed the idea that by working the tibs, since it's the other side of the lower leg - you're making it bigger and more 3 dimensional. This is where I really got interested, it just made so much sense to me. I don't ignore other areas with opposing muscle groups, working the calves and not the tibs, I really feel like it holds lower leg potential back.

I see. Thanks for the response!

No Kegels? You can do Kegels on ab day.

no neck?

I used to, but felt like it was getting bigger than I wanted, so I retired the area.
