is it ok strength train twice a day and if yes can i workout the same muscle or do i have to workout a different one

[swanso5]

it can be done

strength in am and hypertrophy in the pm

you'd only train 3 days a week though with this

hey swanso5, how do you train hypertrophy from strength training. i thought hypertrophy was the muscle getting literary bigger. could you explain the difference and how you would you train different

[swanso5]

strength
- low volume
- low reps
- think 3 x 3, 5 x 3 etc
- nothing over 5 reps
- looking at 9 - 15 total reps
- obviously the lower reps you do the more sets you do

hypertrophy
- looking for time under tension to be 30 - 40secs per set
- that is of continuous tension not curl, rest at the bottom, curl
- 30 - 40secs per set will equate to 10 - 15 reps depending on the wt used
- looking at 30 - 40 total reps over 3 - 4 sets

a sample may be:

mon am - deads 3 x 3...bench 3 x 3...chin up 3 x 3
mon pm - rdl 3 x 10...db bench 3 x 10...chin up or pulldown 3 x 10

wed am - box squat...single arm shoulder press...db row
wed pm - front squat...seated db shoulder press...cable row

fri regular session - split squat 3 x 6 / plank variation 3 x time...push up / inverted row 3 x high reps for time...bi/tri 3 x 8

something like that maybe

Seasoned bodybuilders, not necessarily on gear, sometimes do this.

Example.

Chest morning, Triceps evening.

Back morning, Biceps evening.

Legs morning, Delts evening.

You'd be looking in that scenario, for around 10-12 hours between workouts if possible.
