I downloaded Shapefits weight training journal and it is broken out in the following categories:
Quadriceps, Hamstgrings, Calves, Abs, Chest, Back, Shoulders, Biceps, and Triceps.
I am going to do already ab work everyday, but will use different exercises to target different areas.
The question is, from the remaining 8 areas, which groups go together? I'm a scheduler, and would like to schedule the next three weeks out, that way I know I will stick to it.
So for example, on Monday, which groups should I work, Tuesday, Wed etc...and then I would probably take Friday, Saturday or Sunday off.
What makes the most sense?
Thanks again,
What Muscle Groups go together
Moderators: Boss Man, cassiegose
either go full body doing 3 set each for big muscles (quads, hams, back, chest) and 2 for small (calves, abs, bi's, tri's) for 3 workouts a week or split up into lower and upper body workouts for 4 workouts a week
you should train MOVEMENTS not muscles as that's what the body knows...choose an exercise frome ach section and off you go:
quad dominant exercise - squat variations, low to moderate step ups
hip dominant exercise - deadlift variations, lunge variiatons, high step ups, glute exercises
horizontal plane upper body pull exercise - rowing variation
horizontal plane upper body push exercise - bench press or push up variation
vertical plane upper body pull exercise - pull up, chin or pulldown variation
vertical plane upper body push exercise - shoulder press or shoulder raise variation
this would be 6 exercises for each full body session where you should probably devise 2 workouts for the week and alternate through
if doing upper and lower body days than choose 1 from each upper section and add 1 bicep and tricep exercise for 2 sets each...for lower on day 1 do 3 quad exercises and 2 hip exercises and for day 2 do 3 hip and 2 quad with added bs on this day also
does this make sense??? if not i'll just set a program up for you
