1) + 3) + 4) i guess... dunno which group to put in

1), 4) for sat -> chest + legs, sun -> back + a bit of shoulder. heavy workout sets can be done within an hour. Tues if got time going to do a little bit of weighted chin ups and parallel bar dips.

3) for full body workout on mon (light recreation swim), tues (light gymming in sch), wed (interval), fri (jog).

You’re on a bodypart split. Most people are, even though they shouldn’t be.

Marco_Simone SG

Bodypart split willl lead to undertraining->this is a more serious cause of not making progress than overtraining...

eagle SG

Ok... want to take this opportunity to ask for a definition of making progress. Thanks.

I think I understand what you mean by undertraining liao....

Marco_Simone SG

hitting a muscle group e.g. biceps (somemore with some light intensity exercises on the machines)every 7 days is definitely undertraining...

eagle SG

Haven't been touching those machines for more than half a year already. Sad

Marco_Simone SG

I hit all my major muscle groups every other day.

Nadare SG

Very Happy

eagle SG

light everyday considered? mix with heavy once a week?

Or you do heavy every other day Rolling Eyes

Marco_Simone SG

Well,I am still at the stage where I can still do heavy 3-4 times per week
