Opinion on a workout style

I have always heard not to overtrain any muscle, so i was wondering about something.

I work out my chest twice a week, evenly distributed with shoulders, triceps, ect. But i was thinking about rotating it around my muscles groups.
Such as:
Week 1 - Chest twice a week
Week 2 - Biceps Twice a week
Week 3 - Triceps twice a week
ect.

Will this over work any muscles?
I had my squat plateau and i dont want any growth to plateau, I really don't concentrate on high weight just muscle gain.


Sincerely,
Wilhelm
 
That seems alright but up to how you feel. Honestly, you know your body much better than us. What would YOU tell yourself if you pose that question? Kinda have a conversation with yourself.

Whatever you are doing is working, because your lift #'s are just amazing.
 
I'd rather rotate the 2 a week muscle days on the big muscle groups like chest, back and legs. But then a again, I probably wouldn't do a split with 1 muscle group a session unless I was very advanced.
 
agreed. try incorporate maybe 2-3 sessions a week using different muscles groups rather than blasting one group per week. an increase strength and size would be more consistent with consistent training. also are you have a protein shake after your workout? or anything protein for that matter, as itll help with recovery and growth.
 
Thank you for all the replies.

I am taking a 5 day break, then I am gonna try and see how well a "double split" (idk what to call it) when i get back to my cycle.


And to Tic:

I know your probably either going to hate me or not belive me or both, lol, but i got 380lbs on bench and went down 2 pounds in weight to 176lbs.

I envy you. You can drop weight and lift heavier, I've done it myself. Oh, btw, are you doing the press with or with a shirt? Damn, you are a strong person; hopefully you can reach 2,000 lbs later in life like Jonnie Jackson. God + parents gave you great genetics, have you told them how much you appreciate their genes? LoL; Enjoy the rest.

i didn't understand what you asked about my shirt? and i love my genes. my mom is the same way 5 4" 115lbs. benches 175. Shes a monster.
 
Instead of thinking of exercising body parts, you might want to think in terms of movements:
Quad Dominant (squat, leg press, leg extension)
Rear Chain Dominant (deadlift, clean)
Vertical Pull (Chin)
Horizontal Pull (row)
Vertical Push (press)
Horixontal Push (bench press)
I find hitting each of these twice a week with different exercises, with different rep ranges prevents plateaus in the long term.

You also might want to look into the Waterbury Method (google it). They recommend hitting each 3 times a week with a DE (dynamic effort), ME (max effort) and RE (recovery effort) day.
