The gym is my personal sanctuary, and weights are my prayer of choice. On a serious note, I really enjoy working out and my life isn’t the same without the gym in my life. The benefits of lifting weights are many, and my regular use of the gym improves my life in many aspects. I’m stronger, I have more energy, and it makes me a happier person overall.
Anyway, for a long time I’ve been unsure about whether I should work two muscle groups in one workout, or if I’m better off doing one per day. Many people have differing opinions on the issue, so I wanted to add mine to the mix.
I’ve tried both of these approaches. For a very long time, I would regularly work two muscle groups together in one workout.
My two muscle workouts consisted of a number of different combinations where I’d blend two muscle groups together per workout. This allowed me to do a full cycle every three days.
The advantages of this are obvious. You’ll end up working your muscles more, and it’ll take less workouts per week to achieve the same workload for each muscle.
On the other hand, it was taking me at least 90 minutes per workout and sometimes I didn’t have time for this. Others also believe that hitting each muscle twice in a week is overdoing it.
Recently, I decided to change things up by switching to a six day rotation. I just work on one muscle group each visit to the gym, which allows me to do some more sets and get a better workout in.
You’re probably wondering if this makes a difference if you’ve never tried it. If you’re able to get to the gym about five days per week, I’d definitely suggest doing it. Your muscles will be fine. If you’re only going two or three times, though, you’re probably best off sticking to two muscles per workout.
