Do as you wish, if you aren’t willing to learn, I can’t help you. In the meantime, email Layne Norton and Alan Aragon and ask them what’s better, I gaurentee that either one of them will tell you twice a week and can produce REAL evidence that training muscle groups 2x a week is better. Either of there left nuts know more about nutrition/training than anyone you know, anyone in this tread, etc. ---

wtf travis? im sorry man but u are putting these two dudes on a pedestal and im not sure y. you can read 1 billion articles saying this, saying that, and saying to smear baby turtle shit on your bicepts 3x a week and u will get not only get jacked but tan as well. if your not on some serious sauce AND eating like a mad man, DO NOT TRAIN A MUSCLE MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK!!! your body will not have the proper “nutrients” to support all the breaking down of muscle fibers and repairing them quickly enough to train them again. lets put this into perspective. adam has been training with me for like 3 months now. we train 3x a week. THATS ALL FOLKS! he started benching 135, and is now maxing out at 225 for 2-3 and still gaining. mind u his diet is not on point at all. train hard, eat well = success. /thread ---

Well you know he (Travis) is an expert on everything there is to be an expert on. Kinda like a jackass of all trades. I really should start working out harder. I havent seen as much of a gain as Id like to. It seems like Ive somewhat leveled off lately and havent been able to increase weights as much as I used to be able to. ---

only body parts you can train a few times a week are abs and calves. i never ever do 2 major bodyparts a week. i do light bis on back or chest day and light tris on back or chest day, and do arms friday. like e said…once a week unless ur not a N/A Eating freak ---

Oh, and as far as genetics goes, they matter more than training style, diet, etc. I remember back in high school finally being able to rep 135 on flat barbell bench 6 times after MONTHS of works, where as other friends were doing mid-high 200s for reps and maxing out at over 350. We all followed the same programs etc. I didn’t touch a weight for almost 10 years, and at age 26, I could only do 10lb dumbells for DB shoulder press, and 25lb dumbells for flat press, and maybe 30 lbs for DB rows. Only after a little over a year and a half of ‘serious’ training, I’ve multiplied those numbers a few times over. ---

i use heavy weight, it kinda works. but as far as 1 or 2xs a week workouts go, ull get strong **er** n lean 2xs a week but not strong and big unless ur not n/a. what ever works for one person does not mean it works for an other. 2xs a week is a little much if ur traing hard for strenth n size. leaning out…dif story mother goose [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/progress-thread-94gt5-0/248135.md?page=9) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/progress-thread-94gt5-0/248135.md?page=11)
