Chest and triceps on the same day? Seriously?

A little tip, biceps and triceps are done on the same day for maximum results.

A little tip, biceps and triceps are done on the same day for maximum results.

a major muscle group (chest, back, legs) should be done with a minor muscle group in the same day (triceps, biceps...) , but since ur triceps are hit with bench presses so it is recommended that you do it in the same day, if not you can switch between biceps and triceps...

I have been going to the gym for sometime and ive been constantly going for 6 days a week. I have my schedule divided into 3 days which i do twice a week. every session, I either start with 12-20 min cardio (spinning or treadmill or elliptic) or I simply walk to and from the gym (20 min walk each direction). first day, I work on abs and legs; 2nd day on biceps, chest and shoulders; 3rd day on triceps and back and I repeat for another 3 days and the 7th day is rest. I do squats almost everyday. I usually do 2 12 sets for each exercise but I got the idea of 3 8 sets from here and Im going to try as soon as I leave lebanon :biggrin:

... and teh girls in my gym are very fit and good looking... that's why I go 6 times a week looool

i don't feel exhausted after the workout (~40 min each session) and I was doing this for almost 2 months before I went on vacation.

did you find any unusual progress?

well 6 days is impossible for almost everyone with work and sh*t... 4 days is what i can do best...

i stopped going to the gym for now for different reasons, a main reason is the heat in the summer ...
am planning on going back come September.

anyway, i was reading here and there about what's the best schedule and how much time should you spend in the gym, so i came with this schedule that i am seeking ur opinion on:

a 4 day per week schedule with saturday sunday and another midweek day as off days,

day 1 : back and biceps
day 2 : chest and triceps
day 3 : shoulders traps forearms
day 4: legs

cardio will be done once in a week for about 20-30 minutes keeping in mind that the goal is getting more muscle, abs twice a week randomly (on the days you feel u still have energy to do so)

supplements: Whey Gold Standard (the one i posted early on here) , one scoop post-workout only (that means 4 shakes a week) , donno if this enough...

ps: my workouts should be between 60 to 90 min max depending on how crowded the gym is and how boosted you are in that day.

keep in mind that i play soccer once a week and it will be in the midweek-off day...

so let me here ur opinions on this schedule guys, one more thing am lacking knowledge on is that this schedule will hit each muscle group once a week , is hitting a muscle group twice a week is better? or overtraining? thanks

hexapro ( proteine shake) i take it twice a day. in the morning and directly after gym.
aminocore ( vitamine) you take it while doing workout. it boosts your muscle growth.

anyone has any experience with any of those ?

I'm gonna start myself.
How should I apply a 3 day routine instead of 4?
And what will happen if I don't take such supplement?

the key is to train a big muscle group (back, chest , legs) with a small muscle group in the same day.
a good 3 day split will be like:

day 1 : back , shoulders
day 2: chest , biceps
day 3 : legs, triceps

whey gold standard is gonna boost your muscles faster , you can do without it of course.

According to the link above, Training Each Muscle Group Once Per Week is useless especially for starters.

I agree with the link, and I think for beginners, his 3 times a week full body workout is what is needed to build up strength and stamina. Your body needs to adjust to the grind of weight training, and once you are in good shape, then you will get the best results by training each muscle group twice a week (6 day weekly schedule). at the beginning, combined exercises such as squats, dips... can be very beneficial because they train multiple muscle groups at once. Once you start training each muscle group twice a week, you would need to vary your exercises every 4-8 weeks so that your muscles do not get used to the exercises.
