      PictureFit For push/pull split. Do you do shoulders on both days? I ask because the anterior and posterior deltoid do not do the same biomechanics at all. One pushes the other pulls. Does it really matter which day you do shoulders for push/pull and if it doesn't is it okay to split your shoulder workout in half for each day?

    • @ShuvoAR

      Wrestling is all about cardio. So if you are strong you better hope you get a good few hits to kill somebody if you are in a fight. If you are running to get somewhere or are running from something cardio is your best friend. To climb up a steep hill with heavy bags. Cardio and strength would help but I think strength would be better.

    Monday - back, chest, arms. 1h20m
    Tuesday - 35min cardio
    Wednesday - abs, legs 1h10m
    Thursday - 35min cardio
    And from when on repeat. When 4 weeks ends, I rest couple of days and start working out again. Results are pretty good. Since January I was 104kg, now I am 95kg with some good gains also (I'm 185 tall). Just to note I started working out in Autumn 2016 but results were subpar. Before I started working out I weighted 106kg. I lost weight and gained weight and so on endlessly. So I knew that I had to change something drastic about my workout and especially with my diet. With the help of your videos and some other websites I researched a lot and came up with this routine. And it really works well for me. I'm satisfied.

    7 days a week. One of these pure cardio ( what I consider as my rest day). One TRX. One leg day. 2 days arms and shoulders. 1 day booty. 1 day core (abs and back).

    As said in the video, it depends on many factors. At 45 years old, I have found that training three times per week is enough and still very effective (I do cardio the other four days). I train very intensely and my muscles are always aching, so training more than three days would just translate into overtraining (at least in my case). When I was younger, I would train six times per week, but age has taken its toll :-)

      @@mahmud7645 I don’t know your situation but I’ll just say this incase it applies to you. I was the same way, had a tiny upper body (lean mass anyways), and a super stout bottom half. Huge quads, huge calves, strong glutes. First day in the gym I was able to max out the leg press sled, quad extension machines, squat 225 etc. Basically was able to hit what are considered milestones for most my first day. (I had been 100 lbs overweight for years). I lost about 70 lbs and didn’t really focus on my lower half outside of like once a month, and I didn’t put much care into it when I did because of how bad my body proportions seemed to me. To make a long story short, I have made considerable strides in my upper body lean mass and strength numbers, but months of neglecting my naturally strong lower half and being in a constant caloric deficit caused me to lose a LOT of my mass down there, to the point that I’d argue my squat is my weakest area of the 3 powerlifting exercises. You don’t have to PR every week, but I wish I just did maintenance programs for my legs!

      When you use the triceps and biceps with the compound chest and back exercises, they get tired, so when you isolate them after, you can not do as much weight and reps. But really it's a preference thing, I tried both ways and I like it this way better.

    Hey PictureFit, great video! I was just curious I am hoping someone could help me out with a question of mine. About a year ago I worked out from December 2015-May 2016 with 2 friends about 4 times per week with the "bro breakdown." We made really good gains in that time frame, I went from only being able to rep about 115 to maxing 200 lbs. Going into that summer I began working full time when college let out, and so I lost a lot of what I had gained, but when I got back to college I started doing lifting for tennis. I did not really stick with a serious plan, but for my entire sophomore year of college I got into a sporatic workout routine where I would get really motivated for a couple weeks then stop for a while etc..etc.. I began to notice that when I would work out even if I hit the gym for one specific week and went hard, my arms, core, back, and chest would gain in size relatively fast compared to when I had began working out back in 2015/early 2016. I play a lot of tennis during the week so i am very lean, so I dont know if the gains I do see while I lift seem to occur quickly because of my thinner 6'0 155lb frame, or could it be because of the hard lifting my friends and I did that muscle growth will come back to me quicker because I have been there before? I have just been thinking about that in relation to building the right workout plan for myself.

On the other 2 days, I repeat two of the sessions from the point the week started. I don´t feel tired or bored at the gym, my trains take less than a hour and a half even when the gym is filled. Leg day is a complete killer because I train every damn muscle (glutes and tibia, which isn´t very frequent for dudes to train).

    I took a week off because I learned I was over training for 2 months. I've been doing more than the recommended amount and now my body is STILL recovering.. thank you so much for the info! Definitely going to try this today

      When and how did you realize that you were over training? What are the signals

      @@nik7bkh965 honestly man... The signals are when you stop to recover. When you overtrain, your body get used straining your muscles. So you won't get sore and you'll get stronger but if you stop, your progression will just disappear. Honestly, just do 3 exercises per muscle group and do a recommended amount of sets and reps and you'll be fine. Never exceed the recommend or you'll be overtraining. I hope this helps man

    I've been working out 6 days per week the last few weeks and I'm starting to feel pretty horrible. Should probably cut it down some. Definitely not someone who just walks on a treadmill.
