unless you're young or visiting doctor needle it takes longer to recover between bodyparts,don't believe all the shite you read in the 'joe weider mags' they're there to get you to buy his supplements.books etc.

Best results I ever got was from 3x full body workouts a week with at least 1 day rest in between. The key is "stimulate not annihilate".

1 body part a day wouldn't be enough for me to grow personally. Everybody is different.

of course they are all different,i'll always remember Dorians appearance at the bill boyd show in boro when he as in his peak mid 90's talking about his workout. basic lifts 1 bodypart a day.obviously his stacks were not to be discussed
 
I'm going to play around with squatting several times per day in the next few months hopefully. Sticking with current plan up to the British though, with the addition of some speed pulls.
 
I'm far too lazy to dedicate say Monday to legs. Work, social life and my laziness will get in the way of training and I'm guaranteed to miss some days. Would mean either training days get screwed up or some body parts will go two weeks without being hit.

We are doing something different next week, just for a change. Squats everyday, then a different body part afterwards. Think its back on 5x5 after that.
 
Think I'm building up to a de-load week next week, feeling like i could do with some rest. Have made some good progress over the last 5 weeks though, particularly feeling a lot stronger on squats. Will do one more heavy workout tonight then see how I feel about next week.

that's what i feel like, i want to know that if i only go once a week I'm still doing everything to keep a good balance.

have you done it before? do you have a job to work around?

It's great like, hell to begin with but after a few weeks you've adapted and if you miss a day you feel like superman

Never tried it mate. Most I've done is 4 squat sessions per week. Yeah it should be workable for me. Will e spending more time around class training facilities which is what has tempted me :lol:

You enjoy it?
 
I've started leaving work mid-morning-ish to train and just working later on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. It's a good time to train I find.

Starting to feel stronger now after several months of just general shit training and lifestyle. I've jacked in alcohol altogether as well.

Nee need for that like....
 
How much did you drink previously? I'll occasionally have a pint or 2, but don't see the appeal of getting mortal like.

Next to nothing during the week but would regularly get properly shitfaced on a Saturday.

There was much confusion among my friends last night when I ordered a pint of whitebait instead of a pint of bitter.

I rarely get off my face these days but still really look forward to having a few quiet drinks at the weekend. its beneficial to me because i enjoy it and look forward it each week

Aye, I still enjoy a few beers like but avoid getting hammered. Makes it easier with the price of beer in London like.

It's probably time for me to grow up and cut that shit out anyway.

I'm not going to go teetotal for my whole life. I'm too much of a beardy-weirdy real ale man for that. But I am going to lay off the drink for two months or so.

well i wanted to squat more and it worked so yes i loved the progress it brought, for the first 2 weeks i just felt run down like i had a cold so alcohol gel and wash your hands plenty to try and not get a cold but after a while you'll start lifting what you were doing once a week every day and you can keep going or reduce weight or volume for a day or so and then go at it and break pr's I'd say it's something i might use again in future if circumstances allow it but it's difficult to keep to permanently.

A great tool imo to break through ceilings.
