Hi. Just wanting some opinions from people who have tried both approaches. For the 2 Year’s I have been bodybuilding I’ve trained each week more or less like this....
Chest & tris
Back and bus
Legs
Shoulders
(Rest days vary depending on what days I can make it to the gym) this way I’m hitting each muscle group once a week.
On each session I start with compound movements, for example on chest/tris day I will start with bench press. After I have done the main compound movements I will then start to isolate eg. Incline, decline, flys etc. Then move on to several tricep exercises. On shoulder day, again I’ll start with shoulder press then move on to isolate my front, side and rear delts and then traps. I’ve had some pretty good results training this way.
I’ve recently been considering moving to a push, pull, legs routine with a rest day in between so I can hit each muscle group twice a week instead of once.
Now my concern is that allthough my frequency for each group will go up. I feel like my volume and intensity will go down, possibly affecting my gains negatively. There’s no way I’d be able to do so much isolation work on this sort of routine and I’d have to limit the number of sets I train each muscle group. I feel like I wouldn’t go home feeling like I’ve trained properly and probably wouldn’t experience the soreness I do now and as a result I’d just feel like I’m sacrificing gains. I’m struggling to comprehend how I would cause enough muscle damage by decreasing my volume on each muscle group. I hope I’m wrong about this and would love to hear from anyone who has tried both ways. Thanks guys :)
