Question

can anyone recommend me a program for doing weight training in 6 times a week thanks because It's near my 1 month vacation and I am hoping to see result when my class start . Also I've been doing weight training by six months ..... thanks

Answer 1

That's pretty excessive and really unnecessary. If you ask most advanced bodybuilders and powerlifters, few of them actually lift this often. But, you can do it and you may see results, it really just depends on your body and genetics what program works well for you. Just be sure you're getting enough calories in your diet.

The thing to watch out for is overtraining, and that may be hard to avoid when lifting that often. Even on a split routine, some muscle groups overlap, and your joints are being hit almost every day. Overtraining occurs when your muscles don't have enough time to recover between workouts. Generally, you'll feel particlularly fatigued, weak, and may be losing ground on your workouts.

What you could do is increase intensity of your workouts, but not necessarily how often you go. If you must, fill the off days with some cardio instead of weights. Many of the major workout programs such as max-OT and DC only require 3-4 training days a week, but are sufficiently intense to properly stimulate muscle fibers without overtraining.

Answer 3

it is fine if you pull six days a week, just make sure that you don't work the same muscle group within a day of itself. So if you work your biceps on monday, you shouldn't work them again until wednesday. This will allow your muscles to have enough time to heal and then build up before to stress them again. Alternate muscle groups in pairs, or triplets if you can subdivide the main three somehow. Also, a light cardio warm up of 15-20 minutes really helps to prep your body for training and will give you much more stamina not only while you are lifting, but also in general.

Answer 4

Yes but only if you alternate the muscles you work/train every day. If you keep working the same muscles every day you are at risk of damaging the tissue surrounding the muscle or even the muscle itself. Muscle and tissue need time to repair following a workout and that time is usually 48 hours. You can help speed up the repair and recovery process by consuming a high protein food within 30 minutes of completing your workout. These foods needn't be expensive they are as simple as a glass of milk, tub of yogurt, small piece of grilled chicken. As for a suggesting a routine try going to your local gym and asking a personal trainer to give you a routine you can do at home with your own set of weights. They should only charge a one off fee unlike hundreds for repeat vistis to a gym. Then every 2-3 months go in and ask if they can update the rountine to reflect your current fitness level. I have found this to be cost effective and training at my own pace without others around has meant I can concentrate on my rountine better plus I can do it anytime of the day. Good on you for keeping fit.

deadlifts,presses,curls. 2sets of 5 reps. cycle the weight. start with 80% of 5 rep max.increase about 2 1/2% each workout. work at 5 days in a row.rest 2 .reach 100% in two wks. drop back down to 80% and start again. / i do it week in week out and for months,then i take a couple wks of and start again. know it works and learned it from book on russian strength training secrets called Power to the People

Answer 6

Split muscles even amongst the six days and shorten gym sessions. As a result, you can increase intensity in the gym. This is the best way to build muscle mass.
Do chest on the first day. Back and triceps on the next. Biceps and legs on the third, Shoulders on the fourth, abs and cardio on the fifth. make up something in between or add something on the end.

Answer 7

NO...

Unless you are alternating muscle groups on a daily basis.

Weight training DAMAGES muscles (tearing muscle fibers), and it takes about a day or so to heal (and thereby growing the muscle).

If you're going to do your arms on Monday, don't do them again before Wednesday! (etc)
