Is a 6 day workout schedule good?

Hi just asking out of curiosity. Does performing split routines 6 days get better/faster results?

Since let's say :

Day 1 you train Chest and Biceps
Day 2 you train Back and Triceps
Day 3 you train Shoulders and Legs

and restart the process after having done from day 1 to 3. I know it is a MUST to rest so that the body grows but wouldnt you be resting that body part for 3 days before hitting it again?

Sorry If I dont make sense. Just a thought.

Right now I use this split routine and I am doing it 3 days a week only. And IT IS WORKING because I am feeling sore as hell the day after. And I love it knowing that pain = results.

Day 1
Chest-
Barbell Bench press (6 sets 8 reps)
Dumbbell Bench press (6 sets 8 reps)
Incline bench/Decline bench (4 sets 8 reps)
Flies (4 sets 8 reps)

Biceps ?
Dumbbell Hammer curls (3 sets 8 reps)
Dumbbell Bicep curl (3 sets 8 reps)
Concentration curl (4 sets 8 reps)
+abs

Day 2
Back ?
Dumbbell rows (6 sets 8 reps)
(lower) Front pulldown (4 sets 8 reps)
(upper) Rear pulldown (4 sets 8 reps)
(pectoral) Close Grip Pulldown (4 sets 8 reps)
Triceps-
Barbell Skull crusher (6 sets 8 reps)
Triceps extensions (3 sets 8 reps)
Chair dips (3 sets 10 reps)
+abs





Day 3
Legs ?
Deadlifts (6 sets 8 reps)
Squats (6 sets 8 reps)
Lunges (3 sets 8 reps)
Calf raises (4 sets 10 reps)

Shoulders ?
Dumbbell military press (6 sets 8 reps)
Front Dumbbell Deltoid Raises (3 sets 8 reps) (*hold like hammer push inside)
Seated barbell military press (3 sets 8 reps)
Shoulder shrugs (4 sets 10 reps)
+abs


thanks
 
If your making progress with the lifts and weights, and your not being over burned by working out that much, then go ahead.

Though...instead of 3 day on, and restart
try
3 days on, 1 day off.

though im going to almost guarentee, after several weeks of this your gonna get overburned, tired, and not wanna lift.

Id say that is too much, if i were you id do a 4 day split. Also theres no need to curl that much, if i were you id only do one curling exercise.

Any pull exercise will work your biceps (pullups, rows, pulldowns, etc) so you dont need all that curling. My workout is roughly...

Day 1: Squats, chest, tri's
Day 2: Back, biceps (including deadlifts)
Day 3: Shoulders - also will work other muscles with jump shrugs (legs) and triceps also with mili press.
Day 4: Havnt really been doing this lately due to this temporary gym BUT im supposed to do..a bit of an fbw - bench press, squats, other leg exercises including calf raises etc.

you said this

(Day 1 you train Chest and Biceps
Day 2 you train Back and Triceps
Day 3 you train Shoulders and Legs

and restart the process after having done from day 1 to 3. I know it is a MUST to rest so that the body grows but wouldnt you be resting that body part for 3 days before hitting it again?)

not really because tris get worked day 1,2,3
bis get worked day 1,2,
front delts day 1,2,3,
rear delts 2,3,
now if you did
day 1 chest,tris,shoulders
day 2 legs
day 3 back,bis
day 4 of
then same again,
then they are getting more recovery
 
True about getting the 3 day rest, but still your always working the surrounding muscles even if your not doing them directly.

YEP! And over time, you'll get BURNED out. I was doing 3 days on, 1 day off. After almost 3 weeks i felt tired and didn't like training that much...if you can pull it off. Kudos.
 
I agree. I only lift 3 days a week, and just do 3-4 compounds depending on the day, and I'm tore up pretty much all the time. I always NEED the 2 weekend days off.
