How often can you workout your chest and biceps weight training?

Question

I have A cup man boobs and am trying to get rid of them, but the info I have on weight lifting says you should just workout your chest once a week.

Answer 1

It depends...........

Where are you now in your training? If you're just starting out, you've got to change some things still. You'll need to adjust your diet to accommodate weight loss/muscle gain and the additional energy needed to a good solid workout.

The bottom line is muscle fatigue. Your muscles when you work out become stressed and rip, because your body lifted something heavy and of challenge. When the rips in your muscles heal, it creates new muscle tissue, which thus creates a larger muscle mass. The healing and downtime in lifting is just as important as the lifting itself. So make sure to not over due it!! Having that said you should be able to work up to doing chest and bicep lifts every other day at most.

For example, Lift chest and upper body on day 1. Do legs and more cardio day 2. Do chest and upper body on day 3. etc..... (you'll get better results too if you change up what lifts you do, don't always do the same lifts day after day!)

Hope this helps!!

You first list that you work your arms and notice you can't really work your back because your arms fatigue, so your suggestion is to work your biceps first then your back the next day? You also state that you are trying to build muscle mass, become stronger, and become fitter. The best way to do that isn't a two day split. A very popular split is working back and biceps one day, rest, work triceps and pecs another day, rest, then work shoulders and legs, rest, start over. However, because of your goals, I want to recommend that you workout one muscle group a day for a total of 6 days a week (day 7 is your rest day). This way, you can focus on the muscle and give it maximum rest time (you grow at home, not in the gym). Do at least 5 different exercises per muscle group. Remember: don't work your triceps a day or two before working chest, and don't work your biceps a day or two before working back. You can work your back before your biceps and your chest before your triceps, but not the other way around. Don't forget cardio and flexibility training, and you need to eat well and take whey protein right after your workout. Whey digests in about 30 minutes, and you have a 1 hour window post workout to best feed your muscles.

Answer 4

If I had man boobs I would work the chest at least 3 times a week! Pick a weight where you can do at least 10 reps. Do at 4 sets of inclined barbell bench presses, 4 sets of standard barbell bench presses and finish with one long set of push-ups to burn out the chest completely.
