Is This Program Good for your muscles??? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

A friend of mine told me that him and one another guy were doing this program when they started to lift weights. He said i found a good program and we did it it goes like this.

Practise Every Second day -- so one week 3 times the other week 4 times

Practise Structure: Do All Muslcles on every practise (but dont do many exercises) For bigger muscles like (Chest, Back, Sholders) do 2 exercises and for biceps,triceps only one. Do the primary exercises and a secondary for big muscles and only primary one for biceps,triceps so for example

Chest - Primary: Bench Press Secondary: Pullover
Biceps - Primary: Preacher Curls

etc..

He said both of them got 8Kgs for 40 days....(i cant believe it)
Have any of you guys done a program like this. I have never heard of it. I heard its THE BEST to do only one muscle/practise ...so this sounds foolish to me. I dont want to start practising before i hear it from you guyz..tnx a lot!

It doesn't sound that good to me. Even if they are on a 4 day week, and doing a large bodypart they will only be doing 8 sets (if I'm interpreting it properly). That doesn't sound like enough to me, unless they're doing excessively high repetitions. I generally work from the principle that the muscles must be stressed (i.e. microscopic tears) in order to be stimulated to grow, and it doesn't sound like this would encourage that level of exertion. It's fine for building a little strength and overall fitness, but probably not for building significant noticable mass. (my $.02)

tnx for answering man...i will see what the other guys say...but i think in a different way..you said this is not enough...and its every second day...and i heard that chest need 72 hours to rebuild so i think that this is too much .

If you are just beginning, this program might be good for you, as it hits all the big groups. As long as the program incorporates progressive overload, adding weights over time, then it will give some strength and size. Of course you have to eat a balanced diet... You will probably have to change it later, as you get stronger, but that's only after you have been at it for a while.

The most important thing is to get to the gym and try. Well that, and it would be a good idea to get some coaching on proper form. I had a weight lifting class in college and it taught me a lot, and is probably why I have only rarely hurt myself in the gym. It also doesn't hurt to try and talk to some people who have actually been at it a while also. Don't be scared of the big guys, they are usually alright people.

This program sounds really bad. A lot of people come up with these programs that may have "seemed" to work for someone, but really it was their diet that helped them. It is a known fact that overtraining is bad for you (can cause fatigue, hamper muscle growth, etc.) and this program definitely will overtrain you. What you need to do is make a 4-5 day split and target each muscle group once a week then take 2-3 days off of the week. For example:
Monday-chest/triceps -----
Tuesday-back/biceps/forearms------
Wednesday-legs-----
Thursday-shoulders/traps/abs-----
Friday-Sunday =rest

The most important thing is your diet. If you want to see fast gains, then you need to diet right. By the way, PM me if you need any tips or help.
