What do you guys think about training only one muscle group every day? What I've been doing lately is that I work out one muscles group and do as many exercises as I possibly can. Or is it better to train 2 muscles instead?
wel, the problem there, is the #days per week
you have
chest,back,shoulder,trapezium,biceps,triceps,upper leg, lower leg, and perhaps stomach
you tend to take 1 major muscle (chest,shoulder,back,upper leg) with 1 minor muscle (trapezium,tricep,bicep,lower leg)
you should not do two exercises working the exact same way
for example, chest
bench press : compound chest exercist, that works entire chest, (and also secondarly tricep back and shoulders)
incline dumbell press : upper chest+small muscles for balance and positioning
flat or incline fly : for the side of the chest
overheads : working the chest, in the other direction
you have 4 exercises, that work the chest, in a diffrent way
what is not good
bench press, and machine press. work on the same muscle
you want the training, to be about triggering growth hormone and recovery, if the most complete way
additional info : the back !
back exercise, there is row, and pulldown
you can do wide grip and v bar pulldown, works the same, but in a diffrent way
then add with barbel or machine row, and cable row, also works the same but in a diffrent way
but, make sure you dont hang whilst doing pulldowns, or you are actually doing rows. keep vertical whilst doing that
