Minimizing gains......

[THE JUICE]

Could my gains be minimized by working out each body part once a week. Cause Im used to working them out twice a week. Ive never done a once a week bodypart training. What do you all think.

[superchicken]

you might increase them.

i only workout mine one time a week and grow just fine

[furldiggity]

i dont think it would minimize gains drastically or anything. (given that once a week you tear the hell out of that muscle)

once a week is all you need bro provided you give them muscles a good thrashin. i work each bodypart once a week and keep my sets between 15 and 20 for the main ones ( pecs, delts, back,quads). on my arms day i do about 8 or9 sets for for biceps and triceps each.

i couldn't recover if i went more than once a week

When I am talking about quad, I want to focus just on the quads and go light and heavy withen the week, so start day 1 with heavy quad movements like sqauts 3-6 reps 6-8 reps. or leg extensions, or power lunges, or box jumps, then on day two try to focus on hamstrings, such as wide foot leg press or leg curls, or good mornings and keep the reps variable, so heavy quad, light hamstring, then light quad, heavy hamstring.... On heaVY Days try to get 100% bodyweight or more... try 150% if possible your gains will be awsome..... if you can get 200% bodyweight then thats even better.. Just go heavy with PERFECT form... And keep it intense with rest cycles no longer than 1-3 min I like 30 seconds to 60 seconds

Once a week does work, but like you were told you have to work that muscle to it's breaking point. the only thing i have found about once a week muscle work outs is you are usually recovering in one muscle while trying to tear another. It makes lifting a bit more difficult and can sometimes pay a toll on your body. If you keep your sets light and do large reps you will get better results and will have no fear of over exersion in the morning..
