In this natural bodybuilding video blog I finish discussing how often you should be training each body part for maximum results!

How Often Should You Train Each Body Part? – Part 2

(Continued from Part 1)

Best split for the most of us after we have used the Intermediate 2-Day Split Routine is the 3-Day Split.

A few ways to implement this are:

Option 1

Workout (A): Chest, Back

Workout (B): Shoulders, Arms

Workout (C): Legs

Option 2

Workout (A): Chest, Back, Arms

Workout (B): Back, Shoulders

Workout (C): Legs

Option 3

Workout (A): Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

Workout (B): Back, Biceps

Workout (C): Legs

Do 3 Days On and 1 Day Off

Who Benefits From Training Their Body Parts Once a Week?

Hardgainers (naturally skinny people) should train in the following manner:

Monday-Chest, Back
Tuesday-Hamstrings, Calves
Wednesday-Off
Thursday-Shoulders,Arms
Friday-Quads,Calves
Weekends-Off

Another group who benefits the most from a frequency of once a week are very advanced athletes with mesomorphic builds who are very strong can also benefit from once a week frequency.

Conclusion

So to recap, here is the workout frequency to use depending on your training experience:

Beginners (0-6 Months of Training): 3 Times Per Week Using Full Body Routines

Intermediates (7-12 Months of Training): 2 Times Per Week Using a 2 Day Split

Advanced (1 year +): 2 Times Per Week Using a 3 Day Split
