Related Article: Should You Train Chest & Triceps Together?Ĭramming your entire weekly training volume for a muscle group into one singular session can often lead to decreased recovery, excessive soreness, and low levels of stimulus to fatigue ratios during a workout session (usually occurred after 8-12 hard work sets for a given muscle group). When you train, for example, all 18 sets of quadriceps (upper limit of weekly volumes) on one day, you will 100% not be able to walk tomorrow and will often have the last 4-6 sets of that workout be generally fatiguing with low levels of muscle stimulation, simply due to excessive work done on a single day. If you are someone who trains legs once per week, you will find it beneficial to spread out the weekly volume across two or three workouts, rather than one (as cramming all that volume into one hellish workout, while “tough” could actually be minimizing your ability to recovery properly and maintain high muscle stimulation for all reps and sets). Arms can often be trained two to three times per week. Regardless of what workout split you choose, it is important to remember that the best workout split is the one that gets done consistently.įor optimal results, it is generally recommended to train a muscle group at least two times a week, sometimes three depending on recovery, total work sets per day, and weekly volume.įor most people, training legs twice per week is ample. While this is a very beneficial way to maximize workout efficiency and growth, it is not the only way.

ARM AND LEG GITBOX MOD HOW TO
In this article, I’ll give you a sample program that will lay out the exact details to show you how to integrate leg and arm exercises on the same day, without impeding muscle growth and strength development for either. The maximum total work sets should be 20 for both legs and arms. Ideally, you would perform 8-12 sets of leg exercises and 4-8 sets for both biceps and triceps. Structuring leg and arm training together on the same day provides lifters with an opportunity to bump up training frequency to facilitate further growth, helps to improve recovery (when paired with higher training frequencies), and can improve the quality of work sets for both muscle groups (when compared to parining arms with other upper body muscles).īut, how do you pair leg and arm workouts together on the same day? You would start by doing 2-3 legs exercises, followed by 2-3 arm exercises, with the most compound exercises first, followed by isolation movements. Pairing legs and arms on the same day, while not the most common training split, can be great for a muscle growth split.
