Legs for most people need their own day. If anything I’ll throw calves in first on an upper day during specialization.
Youre so stupid amd annoying
But… What about doing squats first in the trainig session? They are extremely tiring, and require a lot of work and good technique. Shouldnt they be done first or second at most?
How often should I hit the same muscle group weekly ? is once enough
My split is simply all the compound movement. Deadlift + weighted dips + lateral raise, then squat + weighted pull ups + lateral raise. Low reps (3 to 5 sets of 3 to 8) and high intensity. Always 1 to 2 RIR to technical failure. Order doesn't matter. Throw in whatever accessory ex I feel like at the end of the session. An active rest day of swimming between training days.
I gain more muscles more quickly than I ever could. Very good stimulus to fatigue ratio. Also plenty of time for recovery as I can only sleep 6 hours (ok quality) straight at most.
😂😂
dneska jsem si k tomu jenom přihodil trochu prsa….. výjimečně…. jinak můj Split všichni znáte… prsa, záda, nohy, ramena, den volno…. když naruším palbou cyklus, většinou se vracím na začátek…
My favorite workout split is the one that shuts the voices in my head off the most consistently
I'm doing lower/upper/rest/upper/lower/rest/rest
I walk 5k on all days except Sundays which are my "cheat day" where I can skip it because of weather or being busy or just not feeling it, but I rarely do.
Thinking of upgrading to jogging on rest/upper days but then again I might want to lose more weight to not fuck up my joints first.
that's a lot of stain…
After legs, you ain’t doing 💩😂😂
This works phenomenally for me. All lifts are supersets:
Day 1. Chest/Horizontal back movements & rear delts
2. Quad dominant legs/biceps
3. Rest/cardio
4. Shoulders/vertical back movements
5. Hamstring dominant legs/triceps
6. Rest/cardio
7. Rest/cardio
I think training back before legs is worse than chest before legs
Love Dr.Mike!
Only legs! No 👎 chest or other accessories ! 12 Sets of squats and front squat training will murder you
If I train legs and chest, I alternate between the two groups one movement at a time so they get a decent spread of freshness. Nobody does ALL their leg training for the day and then starts chest at the end.
I "treat" myself to delt and trap work after one of my leg sessions because I really dislike training legs. I'm strange, but it works.
Love this
My first ever gym program I was given by the trainer was chest, back, biceps and shoulders, legs and triceps. Later on I did a bro split and then moved on to push,pull, legs and now I haven’t trained in a couple weeks because I’m bored of training for years on end and getting really average results.
Monday-legs
Tuesday-back
Wednsday-traps
Thursday-chest
Friday-shoulders
Saturday-triceps
Sunday-biceps
Allows me to train everyday and get the needed recovery(:
Fr. I split everything gives it time to recover. Monday: tricep/back TUESDAY: bicep/forearm WED: Legs THURS: core/chest FRI: shoulders/core SAT: All body & cardio 4 days a week.
I thought legs were done every day?
Bro splits remove the risk of all of this😎
Chest shoulder
Back. Biceps
Legs. Triceps
Shoulder chest
Biceps back
Triceps hamstring
Full trap day. Full hamstring day. Full rear delt day. Then full body.
So shoulder and legs is cool then ?
we actually dont know
I do back then legs same day, but my back workout is usually not very intense. Just enough to say I did it that week.
This is why I do a modified bro split. Nothing like really focusing on one muscle and having a quick workout
don't even try, got it .
every day is head day
Because of my leg workout being on the same day as my back it makes wll the possible types of lifts I can do for legs be narrowed down to a few😭😭😭
so basically if you're on steroids and training like a maniac.. got to split things up alot.. meanwhile many people do a total body workout in one session or break things up into two sessions only.. as Dr Mike once said, there is more than one way to skin that cat lol
I firmly believe in training the largest muscles first but I can see why Dr Mike often approaches it from a different angle.. because he likes to come so close to failure and perhaps certain drug use also plays a role lol
I do Wednesday (chest/triceps/shoulders, Thursday (back/biceps/legs) repeat Saturday/Sunday
chest with chest ok
I just saw someone doing chest and legs today!
I split my legs with days that I wouldn't normally skip gym day:
Chest/Quads
Shoulders/Hamstrings
Calves I do randomly
Pair other muscle groups different days
Banana split. Got it.
nu jokk
Basically small before large and don't hit 2 large groups in the same day
Could you start your week with legs and do Biceps and back the next day ?
lol apparently I’ve been doing it “wrong” the whole time. Bc for years I’ve done a squat or deadlift to start and then hit chest and then bi/tric
Chest with abs so you get a good looking pump, no other answer
Steve Reeves always did squats last.
I agree. So why the goofy frequencies and splits in the RP style?
i pair chest with biceps, back with triceps, then have a dedicated shoulder day , leg day and a full body compound lift day
BTW this does not work if you are following a PPL
But changing it a bit
If you put core on chest it may affect your back exercises and if you are an athlete will impede your leg days as core training for an athlete is dreadful. Same if you put biceps on chest and triceps on back, your biceps will be gone on chest day and back is right after it so your biceps are gone and your triceps are gone. His leg theory is correct, unless if you don’t have anything on legs
I combined my arm and leg day and I feel good.
