People doing all muscle groups on one day at the gym?

[crombie09]

Whats with this? I see so many men and women at my gym going from machine to machine doing every muscle in thier body on the same day. Are they really all that unknowledgeable? I feel like walking up to this one guy and just ask what he thinks hes doing.

I used to do each group on a different day, but im trying a new routine with all my pushing exercizes on one day and pulling on the next.

When I miss a few days I'll work everything on my day back.

I know people that train their whole body because they can only get into the gym once are twice a week its better then nothing...

Basically when I see people training in a fashion that I feel isn`t as efficent as it could be I try to remind myself that at least they are in the gym and give the unknowlegeable trainer respect for showing up if nothing else.

I was going to say the same thing. there is nothing wrong with it if lets say they do it mon and thur. Runners do it all the time and the thermogenic afterburn of such a workout is greater than one of lets say 2 muscle groups.

All i know is thats is a whole lot better than not going to the gym.

Yeah I guess you guys are correct, at least they're in the gym.

and they are getting something done, even if it doesn't coincide with your beliefs on training.

If memory serves i thought that 3 full body workouts a week was the way a novice was supposed to train for say the first 6 months. I still have one of the charts i used to use around here somewhere. Very low volume moderate weight focusing on building a base. I made good gains doing this. I cant believe that anyone would start weight training working out 4 or 5 days a week. Sounds like a good way to get nowhere to me.

Ok I said you were right.

My brother does this and I told him that it's not going to net him the results he would get if he broke things down into seperate days.

For some reason many people don't take the time to research things before they start out.
