Is "working out every day kills gains" a meme?
Even Scooby reccomends lifting every other day but I've got so much free time all I want to do is lift. Does anyone lift daily and cycle muscle groups so they have time to recover?
You cant lift up to 5 times a week , your body is not going to be destroyed , but what you are going to see mostly is strength gains while limiting your ability to build muscle.
Simply put if your goal is to LOOK better , lift three days a week , eat more on those days , cut back on rest days and don't be autistic about it

u srs brah?
i've been doin it phuckin wrong for a few months then
>>35499259
PPLPPLx lets you lift 6 days a week
The fact /fit/ doesn't know what a meme is is my favorite meme
>>35499291
fuark breh i've been on a 5 day split tho
what would I work out together on a three day split?
Chest/Back, Arms/Legs, Shoulders?? fuark
>>35499259
bumping this
>>35499259
It's all about what you are doing, if you are wanting to Squat bench and DL every day for 5 days at 80-90% 1rm then you are going to overtrain and cause injuries.
If you do something where you divide your compounds like what PPL does then sure you can do that 6 days a week.
You also can train daily Squat bench and oly lifts or other lifts however you need to control your 1rm intensity.
tl;dr Yes it can be done but you have to be clever and not some dumbfuck that thinks more is better.

>Brosplit
Should have known you fucked up right there
>>35500340
is it really brosplit? It seemed fine to me
Legs, Chest, Back, rest, Shoulders, Arms
>>35499259
How about you do some cardio on off days or play a sport?
>>35500349
That IS a brosplit though, why the fuck are you isolating every muscle group.
Overtraining doesn't exist fuck wits. It's entirely possible to work out hard every day on a split or PPL. Fit just loves to spout the "hur only workout three times a week otherwise you'll hurt ur gains brah" meme. If going for aesthetics a split is much more functional anyway fit is just full of
>muh powerlifters
>>35500392
so I can work it out hard senpai, idk
i'm still DYEL, I started with SS for awhile so I thought it'd be nice to change
I'm way down to do a 3-day split though, but what would my routine be? Not even sure
>>35499259
That depends ENTIRELY on how you train.
If you workout consists of 1 repitition of air squats, then you can train 5 times a day, 365 days a year and be fine.
If on the other hand your workout consists of back squatting for 20 sets of maximal singles, then you can probably only repeat that once every two weeks, or even less frequenly if you'r e really strong.
You can cycle through muscle groups in order to eliminate the need for rest days FOR YOU MUSCLE. You will still however need a number of rest days for your nervous system. How much rest you need depends on how hard you push yourself when you train. The heavier weights you throw around and the more psyched up you get and the more you're taking your sets to failure, the greater the need for offdays become.
>>35499291
Lmao Dyel?
>>35500400
Just read the sticky and start again, you're obviously clueless and don't want to put in the effort to do your own research.
>>35500399
Overtraining does exist but it's like >>35500407
and >>35500252 said which is why PPL can be done over 6 days.
>>35499291
What if your goal is to lose fat not build muscle?
>>35499259
Sucks brah, I can't not work out. I stopped doing rest days a year ago.
>>35499259
Protein synthesis in nattys ends at about 36-48 hours after working out. This is why many of the popular beginner routines have only 3 days a week. It is more efficient to hit each muscle group 1-2 times multiple times per week rather than blasting each muscle group once a week. If you're on steroids disregard everything I just said as your protein synthesis window is significantly longer

fucking full body you manchild
2 excercises per body part 3x10 on everything with like 75-80% of your max. are all of you mongs fucking retarded?
God, so much misinformation in this thread.
>>35499291
This is fucking wrong holy shit it must be new years.
>>35500629
Such as?

>Simply put if your goal is to LOOK better , lift three days a week , eat more on those days , cut back on rest days and don't be autistic about it
>>35500600
Nope, just ignorant
quit projecting anon
>>35500599
>not PPLXULX
confirmed for not making it
>>35499259
Scooby makes most of his content for begginers, but if you look at his "advanced workout plan" it has you working out for 5 days a week
>>35500667
Agreed.
>>35500711
>PPLXULX
ok that actually sounds pretty excellent desu, thanks for mentioning it
>>35500711
whats that, frenz?

most relevant link I've found

in short it seems to let you do both a
-push pull legs hypertrophy split
-upper lower powerlifting split
each week with sufficient rest
>2016
>not doing PHAT with cardio/abs/forearms on rest days
who else /7daysaweek/ here/
>>35500975
>forearms training on rest days
this is honestly genius
thank you senpai
>>35499291
Should I lift a given muscle once per week? Like just do legs one day a week, one day for chest, etc?
>>35499291
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
fucking dyels
>>35500400
how do you even isolate shoulders? you do ohp, side raises and facepulls and you hit all 3 parts of ti amazingly, anything more is killer for a muscle that small
>>35501239
facepulls?
>>35499291
nice bait
>>35500120
What do you think the turnover rate for /fit/ is?
I wonder how many people come here then leave versus how many people have been here for a while.
Me, personally, I go through on and off phases with browsing fit.
I'm too beta to go to the gym so I just do about an hour of Push-ups, sit ups, squats, planks, curls, etc. in my basement. I do this everyday. Am I doing it right?
My main goal is to look good without being a skinny fuck boi but I also don't really care for being huge. Just Brad Pitt fight club meme.
>>35501393
I hope you do pullups, hyperextensions, bodyweight rows and bulgarian split squats
once you hit the point where you can do 3x20 on most of your exercises bodyweight stuff is going to become increasingly less useful for building strength+muscle mass
>>35501447
Tried pull-ups on the monkey bars at the park when I was on a run (autistic, I know) I pulled something on my shoulder so I didn't try again. I'll look up the other things you suggested though. Thanks mate
>>35501393
If you're skinny you need to lift something other than your bodyweight.
I recommend Stronglifts 5x5 plus bodyweight exercises like pull-ups and dips.
>>35499259
ITT: People saying working out 3 times a week is better for making gains than 5 times
>>35500399
You've not been training that hard if you believe this.
>>35501508
a bit ghetto but nothing wrong with working out in the park
once you've recovered from your injury you might want to try jumping negative pullups to build that pulling strength to the level where you can do regular ones safely
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymyKeqkyFPI
I highly recommend investing in a pullup bar, you'll be able to do chinups if your dumbbells get too light for decent curls and hanging leg raises once situps become too easy
>>35501541
Will do. Thanks again
>>35501575
I'll try that next time, thank you. Can't do a pull up bar because we're in the process of moving. My mom is a nazi with everything staying clean and perfect so I can't mess up any doorways
>>35500887
Would rather do hyperthrophy and strength the other way around, that way it'll be
