Don't do bodypart splits. Maybe start doing some push/pull or ub/lb split for a while and after that come ask again

[Sarpzilla]

Im stickin to it

my [ersonal trainer knows what he's doing.

In bodybuilding, you ask 100 people a question and you get 100 different answers

So ive decided to stick with what i have. Im seeing great results after just 4 months, so im not complaining.

And the fact that he was Mr. Canada 2004 Middleweight champ gives him a hell of a lot more credibility than most in my surroundings.

If your paying for a personal trainer and you trust him, then why in the hell are you asking us for info? Also if you are sticking to it why are you asking us.

I'm with jorn on this one go with compounds lifts, but its not like you care I guess you are not going to take anyone's advice and stick with what you are doing. So I think the answer to what you are looking for is =

* Wow that routine looks great, keep up the good work. *

Why did you ask it if you are going to stick with it anyway?

Ronnie is mr O and I know my knowledge probably alot is bigger than his

Protein synthesis is most elevated 36-48 after a workout. Your hitting your muscles once a week, how many hours of not maximum protein synthesis is that for you? Your right your muscles most likely won't be fully recoverd if you don't give them a full week rest, but it will be enough to hit them hard enough for stimulting new protein synthesis and every fourth week you need a 'rest' week in which you lower volume (and possible intensity) to allow your body to catch up. After that month, if you trained your muscles twice each week, you hit every muscle 6 times (not counting the restweek sessions and are fully recovered, that's more growth then hitting them 4 times isn't it?
(no you can't het greedy and do the restweek only every 8th month for example because your intensity wil drop to much after the 3-4th week)

Ask your personal trainer to discuss this topic here if he doesn't agrees.

Jorn I don't think he is asking our opinion on this matter, I think he is trying to make a statement that this is the holy grail of workout routines!

Jorn do you really have Mr. O filling up your in-box every day with request to make workout and nutitional routines?

a) because i barely see him, i only see the guy once a month.

b) im sticking to the combinations of muscle groups, i didnt mean my weekly routine..

[hugegunns]

Well why didn't you say sooo

* WOW that combination of muscle groups look great, keep up the good work. *

[Sarpzilla]

*Takes out chalkboard and bright orange chalk*

I didnt ask for what muscle groups to change, i asked for a weekly schedule change based on the muscle groups i indicated.

Now i'll wait for a useful post so dont bother addin anymore of that half ass sarcasm.

cheers

As well, for the sake of seeking out new ways to improve myself

Don't you know what compounds are? It not bad that you don't know what they're, but that's really really REALLY basic knowledge. Still doesn't matter that you don't know it, but it shows that your knowledge about the game isn't that big. Now that's even that is not bad, but what is, is that despite that, your not willing to my me!

Compound is basicly a therm for excersices which use multiple muscle groups. The big 3 are Squat, Deadlift and Benchpress. Others are dips, chin's etc etc. If you go through the stickies, you find one posted by Banshee that has a good site with visual illustartion of excersises, you can find these and more there.

Well by definition compunds are freaking awsome for any goal. Using more muscles means burning more fat! And the intensity with these killers is much bigger and take muscle growth to a new level, as if bigger muscles wasn't good enough, more muscles means burning more fat. If your doing something like triceps extension you do some damage to your body and your muscles will recover and and even grow a bit more. If you do compounds, this proces will find place in a whole lot more muscles and at a much bigger pace! Oh and then there are hormonal responses to compounds. When your handeling big ass weights your body is like wtf and starts pumping hormones like GH and test through body in order to be better at handling such great loads next time. But when you do a sissy tricpes extension your body falls asleep...

I hope I helped you with that, BUT about the sarcasm, we have all right to do so, you come here with little knowledge and when I helped you you questionend it!

YTou can actually train a bodypart when its sore as long as its not sore to the touch like an inflammed feeling. When u train bodyparts twice a week its more effiecient to go like 100% with mass building movements at the beginning of the week and like 90% with isolation supersets at the end of the week, causes great growth IMO!


Godbless

If thats the case, then i do at least 2-3 compound excersises per workout.
