I work out at my schools gym 2-3 times a week for 1 hour each time. This is my workout: All the machines that would be in a gym plus about 3 or 4 exercises with dumbbells and crunches. I don't know what the machines are called and I don't know what the exercises I do are called. I am new to working out and body building so I don't know the vocab words or lygo (meaning I don't know what the excerises are called or the excerise machines).

Here are my questions: Why is it bad to workout every muscle group in the same workout session? Once I receive this answer I have to ask the question, am I doing something wrong here, is it bad to be doing all the machines, dumbbells, and cruches all in the same workout? I need a workout plan... Anyone want to give me some much needed help. BTW, I have read many plans on the net but remember I don't understand the lygo/vocab words and I might as well be reading Greek, I simply do not understand it. I need someone to tell/give me a good plan IN PLAIN ENGLISH. Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!
 
buring ur muscles without giving dem rest, will not allow ur muscle 2 heal,so your playingaround witha ripped muscle which can casue injuries and hense the time it will take 2 grow will be alot longer, you should sort your workouts up
if dochest 1day, do legs next, der fore ur giving chest healing time =faster muscle growth
 
Another advantage of not working all muscle groups in one workout is that if you only work a few than you can overload them more thus get greater gains
 
Really? speedkills -
I would have gone for
mon- pecks, delts, triceps
wed- lats, biceps, core
fri- legs, traps (Deadlift, squat)

or if you want to work non-assissting muscles.

mon - chest, biceps, core
wed - legs, delts, traps. (deadlift, clean)
fri - lats, triceps

In the 2nd workout, your using fresh muscles each time for max growth, rather than using up most of your triceps energy on the bench press, then working them on there own. or you can put a tri workout on the end of monday and bi workout on the end of friday, this way your arms get 2full workouts with a 3 and a 4 day rest in between, witch is more than enough.
 
You grow when you rest

Believe it or not, rest is the most important part of your workout especially when you're skinny and trying to gain mass. You should only be working out each muscle group once a week and never workout a muscle when it is still sore. Work the muscle hard with heavy weight and do not work it again for at least a week. Grouping involves working muscles that normally work together into the same workout. When you're working one muscle group, you will be working other groups in that area and should therefore group your workouts as follows:

Session 1: Chest, shoulders, triceps
Session 2: Back, Biceps
Session 3: Legs

For example, when doing bench press for chest, you will also be working shoulders and triceps which are synergists during that excercise. So, when you're ready to work on shoulders or triceps, you will only need to perform a few exercises to fully exhaust those muscles because they already have been partley fatigued by the bench press.

Use free weights, not machines. Any bodybuilder will tell your best results will come only through lifting free weights which force the use of stabilizer muscles that machines won't. This is key for gaining mass. Machines only isolate and should only be done after free weights as a burnout.

Lift heavy! You won't stimulate the Type IIB muscle fibers by lifting light with many reps. You should only be completing 4-8 reps max. But proper form is just as important. More weight and bad form does not equal more muscle. If you can't do the reps with proper form, then decrease the weight and do them right.

Do compound exercises, or exercises that require a lot of individual muscles to work together to complete the movement. Bench press, overhead presses, pull-ups and rows, squats, deadlifts, bar dips.
 
i'm gonna disagree with everyone. since i was a skinny person when i started lifting (125lbs, 12" arms, 10" calves) bodypart split training never got me anywhere. when i trained full body workouts, i finally grew. i got up to 180lbs, 15" arms and calves. i've seen that replicated in others many, many times.

bodypart split training came from drug using bodybuilders. just about everyone else in the world uses full body splits or push/pull or upper/lower.

sns2317, i'd suggest picking up the books super squats and brawn or going read them at a local bookstore or library.
