that's what you get for being a dumbass

 

[cpals]

Yeah, idiot. Working out the same body part two days in a row is stupid.

 

[Amused]

Not a good idea. In fact, it's counter productive. You just negated ALL the work you did on the first day you worked them out when you worked the out the second day.

Its not necessarily bad. I'm guessing that since you didn't work them out enough the first day to get results, that two days in a row finally showed you what you would feel like with one good workout.

Generally, work muscle group (not just biceps) to fail, and then rest for 1-2 days.

 

[PunDogg]

work till failure, then at the very LEAST 1 day of rest for that muslce group, and do like 3-4 execrises for a large muslce group [ex: quads, hams, back, chest] and 2-3 execrises for small muscle groups[ex:bis, tris, shoulders, calves]

Normally Im unable to do it because of soreness. Its really not worth doing anyways since your muscles need to rest and rebuild before they grow.

 

[FFactory0x]

you idiot. Wait at least 4 days to work same body part

Depends on your body type and age and level of conditioning. Arnold worked our some same parts every day sometimes twice a day.

Arnold was on a ton and a half of steroids, too.

sounds like you're the kind of person that doesn't work out your legs since you stick to the same body part.

IS there something wrong with that? I'll return my legs to the chicken from whom I got them from when I am finished using them.

As I said body type some have more natural steriods floating though them like mesomorphs. But this idea of resting is a good one for most.

Nope. Then your start to overtrain and the muscles cease to grow. You need a 2-3 day rest period on any muscle group to give the muscle a chance to grow.

 

[whaleskinrug]

not directly. in fact I don't do any exercise to isolate them

 

[KGB1]

What was the point? Don't you have other types of exercise to do? It's not counterproductive per-se, however you are prolonging the recovery of the muscle.

Odd day weight schedule for me:
M-W-F: Chest, tricep, hamstring, calf
T-Th-S: Bicep, shoulder, back, thighs, abs

It keeps in good order and I don't waste my energy all that much... ohh the forearms... well that's a secret

man, it's a good thing i don't get workout advice from you ATOT guys. i'm a strong guy. i have (by ATOT standards) a big chest, big arms, and big legs. i eat right, work out hard, and i do both regularly.

it seems that most of you haven't worked out hard or long enough to adopt some of the less used routines. after several months (and up to a year) individuals usually experience plateaus. i.e., week after week they're lifting the same weight, regardless of how hard they work out. during times like this it's necessary to give your muscles a "shock." there are various methods to shock your muscles into growth. typically they require some kind of unorthodox routine. for example, when i experience a plateau on chest, i'll only do incline exercises for 2-3 weeks, then go back to flat and decline bench. another of these "shock methods" is to work out the same group 2 days in a row, like what i just finished doing.

you know, for some things this board is extremely resourceful, but when it comes to other things (i.e. girls, working out, etc) the majority of you guys don't know sh!t.

that from a guy who does bis 2 days in a row

 

[WinkOsmosis]

My muscle growth ceased after I got a little bigger when I worked out whole body every other day. So now I'm going to do a 3 day cycle.

Upper body -> lower body -> rest.

 

[WinkOsmosis]

Hmm. I didn't work out for a couple weeks because I was sick then got lazy. I worked out last night though, and now my left tricep is twitching.

Now I'll agree with you on pretty much everything in that post. You do need to shock your muscles and change up your routine. For example, don't do freakin' bench press first everytime you work your chest, change it up with incline, decline, dumbells, etc. It is also a good idea to change which muscle groups your work together. But doing the same muscle group two days in a row (especially one as small as biceps) I cannot agree with.

 

[KGB1]

Why would I want to "shock" my muscles? So as I age I will feel comfortable about the strecth marks? I personally have hit a plateau; I've been at 215 bench for 2.5 months. I am making up for it with doing my abs, back and calves. I don't want to be big, that's just me. I'm working on the V shape much more than becoming bulkier.

 

[shenaniganz]

Sometimes laying off a certain muscle group completely for a significant period of time (a couple weeks) can help with plateaus too. But the same muscle group consecutive days is not good.
