| | | Gains with full body works. Because of my schedule I will not be able to make it to the gym more then twice a week.
But I was curious if I can still expect gains with full body workouts instead of using split routines. I'm new to training in general but I was told you must hit each muscle at least twice a week.
I guess what I'm asking is if this is a bad idea for someone who is looking to increase muslce mass. Thanks |

| | | Even with two days a week? Do you think it's too much resting?
Thanks

| | | it depends how well you know your body nd how you control yourself. If you over do it then you'll need 4 days rest. but if you work it out then 48-72hours will be perfect. |

Thanks | One of the biggest myths in lifting is the whole non-stop trend. Rest is when you grow. Would 3 days a week be better. For most yes. Will 2 a week allow you to make gains. Absolutely. |

| | YES two days a week of full body is good ( three is better) but two, especially since you are a beginner should work, try to keep the intesity high. |

| | | As long as you are getting good intensity out of those two workouts, and eating right, you'll make gains.
I've done 3x a week fullbody, and when you first get started its almost over-doing it until the body adapts to getting 'beat down' thrice weekly.
Those one-body-part-aday splits are not for 'newcomers' and even most intermediate trainees won't get that much benefit from them. Most people never need to progress beyond anything more complex than push/pull/legs type splits. |

| | | I agree resting is important. If you workout without resting your just asking for injury. |  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
