Splits

    Couple of Q's.

    1. I am familiar with the fact that you need to change the exercises that you do in any given routine every now and then to keep the muscles reacting to training. But how often do you change. Does every 2 months sound right?? And how many of the exercises do you change, i.e. do you change the complete routine or just one or two of the exercises???

    2. That leads me onto my next question, how many exercises should you be doing on each body part? I do a 3-day Split and I tend to do 3 exercises per bodypart. Is this correct??

    Thank you in advance,

    B.

    Ok firstly about your routine. I try to change up my exercises every session.

    I have about 4 different workouts for each bodypart. I'll interchange these each session so the body never really gets used to one set of exercises. I find this hits alot of different muscle heads in different ways and gives overall more balanced growth.

    How many sets you do largely depends on the bodypart. I might do 6 sets of 4 exercises for chest but only 3 sets of 3 exercises for biceps or less.

    I find you have to work out what parts of your body grow better with more or less sets.

    Traditionally I'd hit the larger muscle groups, back, chest, quads with more sets and exercises to complete full exhaustion.
