if you do HIT is this the best way to make sure you get enough recovery time
if it is not; will getting the extra days of rest hurt me???

each body part once a week???
- Thread starter Proteinboy
- Start date
also; i think that the problem with full body workouts is that it is really hard to fit in so many exercises into 1 hour of exercise. After 1 hour; it is useless to work out because your body will just create catabolic hormones that eat muscle tissue for energy; right?
well you almost got it.. its not set down to 1 hour 100% but definitely going much longer than an hour will put your body into a catabolic state. Some people like drinking protein shakes and whatever during their workouts to avoid this. I guess they are not aware that consuming ANYTHING during a workout limits IGF-1 production (lowering growth hormone). I personally workout each muscle once per week, but that is because i hit it hard and let it repair fully. Some people can workout the sae muscle every 48 hours and be alright. I'm an ectomorph and need the rest otherwise i overtrain and see no gains.
THANKS
i am glad to hear someone else is doing the same as i am; i tend to hit the muscles hard too and i wait until im not sore anymore

you could try doing 2 upper body workouts and 1 lower a week?
i guess icould but i use the last day to hit the abs and cardio. i have upper on monday the lower on thursday then abs on saturday; then start over
The people who can make any gains whatsoever with bodypart training are few and far between. If you're one of them great, if you're not you're just spinning your wheels.Proteinboy said:
Sounds like you're not up to speed on full body training. Honestly, it's how the majority of people train save for the ones I mentioned plus those with a genetic advantage and those who take drugs which is pretty much when body-part training came into existence is when drugs came on the scene.
What full body training means is just a handful of exercises like squats, deads, presses, rows, etc. Many people have gained 2 or more inches on their bodyparts with just these movements. The best trainers in the world have their trainees squatting and deadlifting 2-3 times a week. This leads some to scream about overtraining which shows they have no idea what that is.

im not disagreeing with you im just frustrated
why wouldnt everyone be able to gain with body part training? when you push the muscles and add weight every you hit the weights, you cant say you arent making progress. with strength increase comes muscle increase.
