Sounds like a plan

mattyice · Mar 22, 2013

Meaning... 2 workouts per day Sat and Sun. Too much?

Do u have some equipment at home ? Maybe hit one only muscle group each morning before work. This is what I do when I get put on 7 twelves

Sounds good to me, plus u can do squaTs by holding two 5lbs -10lbs db on each arm . At least u can work them out a bit with light training.

You can workout on Fridays after work can't you?

Friday- chest
Sat- shoulders/ biceps
Sun- back/ triceps

Or not necessarily in that order, personally I do not like doing 2 push or 2 pull exercises the same day. Jmo. Oh and that is one hell of a work schedule lol.

No. Not too much but it would really be dictated by your goal. I did 2-a-days, 6 days a week for 5 straight years when I was competing.

No doubt about it those were the best growth years of my life. It requires a lot of time management.

thanks cashout... Do you think each muscle group x2 a day is not counterproductive provided i eat accordingly and rest? Or just hit chest am and shoulders pm?

im thinking 4 exercises 7 sets 3 warm 4 working.

I tried it a couple of different ways when I was doing two-a-days an the configuration that I started with was this:

AM - PM
Monday Calves/Hams - Quads
Tuesday Chest - Back
Wed. Arms - Shoulders
Thursday Calves/Hams - Quads
Friday Chest - Back
Saturday Arms - Shoulders
Sunday Off Off

I changed it up as some body parts responded better than others over those years.

Again, I was strictly bodybuilding so this might not work for someone who is try to train for strength or powerlifting.

Thanks.. Im training to not become a worthless fatass over the next 3-4 months. My only goalis too not lose motivation and current lifts.

Yep.. Im a pipefitter/welder. I need to complete a certain amt of hours in order obtain certificatiins i need to an upcoming project. Company will certify me free of charge but i must work an additional 240 hours over the next 12-15 weeks.

j2048b · Mar 22, 2013

plus with a three day full body workout, doing strip sets, on the main lifts, and possibly cardio thru the rest of the week, or even p90x, because it incorporates weights and cardio, could be doable, or just simple steady state cardio for 30-45 min at say level 7 would do u very well!
