HI THERE, JUST READ THIS POST! I'M NEW TO CBR1100XX BUT NOT TO BODYBUILDING. IN ORDER TO GROW YOU HAVE TO ASK YOU'R MUSCLES TO DO MORE WORK THAN THEY ARE CAPABLE OF HENCE YOU MUST STRESS THEM SO THAT THEY WILL ADAPT. THE RECOVERY RATE OF A MUSCLE IS 24 HRS TO 72 HRS DEPENDING ON AGE AND METABOLIC RATE. EG. A 12 YEAR OLD CAN RUN AROUND FOR HOURS THEN HAVE SLEEP AND DO IT ALL AGAIN. WHEN AN OLDER PERSON TAKES MUCH LONGER TO RECOVER.
OK.LETS SAY YOU TRAIN CHEST BACK AND BICEPTS ON MONDAY. YOU SHOULD ACE TUESDAY AND WORSE WEDNESDAY BUT THURSDAY YOU GROW!! FRIDAY YOU SHOULD HIT THEM AGAIN!!
USING A SPLIT SYSTEM YOU COULD TRAIN SHOULDERS AND TRICEPTS ON WEDNESDAY. LEGS SHOULD ALLWAYS BE TRAINED ON THEIR OWN. I HAVE AWAYS FOUND BETWEEN 10 AND 15 REPS BEST BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER COUNT THEM. GET YOU'R TRAINING BUDDY TO DO THAT. NEVER WASTE A SET IF YOU CAN DO 18 OR MORE DO IT OR THAT SET IS WASTED. HOPE ANY OF THIS HELPS. DON'T WANT TO GET TO TECHNICAL.
FROST.
