: Hi,
:
: Ive been thinking of training each muscle once per week, hitting
: one muscle in one day, e.g one day for each of the following;
: Bis, tris, legs/abs, chest, back, shoulders (not thought about
: the order yet).
:
: The work load, in general, would be around 6 exercises per
: muscle, 3 sets of 10, the work outs will last about an hour.
:
: I would like to see some opinions on this?
:
: The reason im doing it is basically because I enjoy taking each
: muscle to the max. I can feel my muscles being able to take
: more abuse e.g 3 exercises (3 sets of 10), pushing them as hard
: as possible used to leave my bi's/tri's completely zapped of any
: energy. Now I always feel like I could do another couple of
: exercises. The emphasis is on upper body, i have always done
: legs and abs together and will just keep doing this.
:
: Thanks
:
Well, I don't have the answers and certainly wouldn't tell anyone to stop doing what's working for them. (Unless, perhaps, I were a trainer and were being paid to do it.) In my own experience, doing multiple sets and taking each set to the max has led to overtraining. I suggest you watch your progress closely -- if you find yourself hitting a wall, you might want to consider another format.
