Hitting 2 muscles a day at different times?

~~PROD1GY~~ · 02-05-2006, 07:26 PM

Hey. I have a question.
I take weight training in school.
I can hit one muscle in school ( like shoulders ), and hit legs after school in gym.
Would that be better/worst?
Can someone explain it to me?

Why don't you just do 1 muscle a day?

He does two a day, one in school, one after.

So he does an AM/PM split I guess. He wants to train muscles twice per week?

We need to see his split, and what he wants to do. Because I don't understand...why doesn't he just hit the other muscle the next day in school?

Now your just making the qusetion more complicated.

His question was just too general and had lots of variables to consider in.

I hit up the gym 3-4 times a week. 2 muscles a day. I have to train a muscle in school, so I hit my bic/tri/shoulders, nothing else i can really trian there, and gotta lift 3x a week
so i wanna see if i can do chest or w.e later in the day
or is it bad ??

only bad depending on what it is.. IMO if you do lets say shoulders at school and then hit back or chest later on that day, id consider it bad. but if you're oding one upper body then one lower body i wouldnt call it bad, just be sure you're eating enough calories and gettin enough rest for 2 a days.

what days do are your classes at school? if like you have weight training mon/wed/fri in the mornings, why dont u jus hit a muscle in class, then tues/thurs go to a gym and hit a muscle. why does it have to be twice a day? unless you're taking 2 weight training classes?

Why can't you lift any other muscles there? Lack of weights, equipment, time??
And it's 3 days mandatory but the other 2 you don't have to do?

If that's the case...

Monday-AM.Triceps PM.Chest
Tuesday-AM.Biceps PM.Back
Wednesday-AM. Shoulders
Thursday-PM. Legs
Friday-Off or do some light work on lagging muscle

If you have time then 2 times a day can be benificial in many ways. By doing it at two separate times, you can have fully concentration and intensty on the muscle groups your working. Try spacing your workouts 4-5 hours at least from each other.

That's true but I don't know about him, but I definately can't get a good pre-post workout meal at 7 in the morning.

another example is what i do.

day 1: bis (a.m.)/ tris (p.m.)
day 2: legs
day 3: chest (a.m)/ abs (p.m.) if i'm feeling energetic
day 4: rest
day 5: delts
day 6: back
day 7: rest

It is good to hit two muscles on same day. But you need to hit a muscle group. It is best for you if you are also practicing a specific muscle group on same day.
