Thighs? I'm assuming you are including the entire leg. Hamstrings?

Yeah, the entire leg including hamstrings, except for calves

If I'm not doing DC I either use the DC split w/ just straight sets, or I go to a push/pull/legs split. Both of those have worked great for me. I've seen way better results lifting 3-4 days/week (at the max) then I ever did going 5-6.

I like it!

Only drawback: chest on monday... everyone is doing chest at the beginning of the week, no matter your location in this world

Hard to find a bench available on monday if you workout in a crowded gym...

personally I work them on monday because they are lagging part BUT in many gyms it's because the guys only work them out 7 days/ week

I would do 1big bodypart on day 1 / smaller day 2 / big day 3 .... and so on

give ur CNS a chance to recover from the back training before u'll kick his ass with legs

just my .02.

[GoneForever]

Mine

Mon Chest
Tues Legs
wed Off
thurs arms
fri shlds/traps
sat back
sun off

I like to make an off day right after legs, that way it gives my upper body a nice 2 day recovery period and arms are my weak part so I hit them following it. That sound good to you guys?

 

[KTT]

Nobody trains bodyparts two times per week ?

 

[tatteredxangelx]

mon -back/calves
tues - off
wed - chest/abs
thurs - off
fri - legs/calves
sat - shoulders/tris/bis
sun - off

i agre with this.

 

[powerrack]

mon -back/calves
tues - off
wed - chest/abs
thurs - off
fri - legs/calves
sat - shoulders/tris/bis
sun - off

I like that split.

I am currently doing:

Mon- Chest/Tris
Tues- Back/Bis
Wed- Off
Thurs- Delts/Traps
Fri - Legs/Calves
Sat- off
Sun- off

I don't do well on the 5 day a week split. I always end up with too many aches and pains and feel overtrained.

 

[HERCSTA]

I have been doing the following with excellent results:
1. 3 full body workouts/week
2. 3- 5 sets per bodypart starting with the largest bodypart(quads) and working down to smallest (biceps).
3. Training each set a rep or two shy of failure with explosive contractions and slow controlled negatives.
4. Reps between 10-20
5. Rest periods very short between sets for the same bodypart with an extended rest between bodyparts.

Simple and old school but very efficient.

I know this routine I am doing the same.
I do one exercise for each with 3 sets, reduced now to 2 sets.
Think it is to much for me.
I feel it is psychlogical hard for me to go nearly every day to the gym. I love it but there is not more much time left to do other things in the evening.
