Default Hardcore training?

Does it hurt to train more then one body part a day? will it make bigger gains? or will it just wear me out and not let me grow? i was thinking working my hole body in 4 days, taking 2 off, starting over.

Really depends on the scheduling and diet. To be honest, I prefer full body or lower/upper to any other split.

Start by reading some of the pinned material on the training forum it will really clear things up for you.

Default have fun

4 on 2 off sounds good; as long as you are giving the muscles at least 48 hours of recovery. Get plenty of rest and protein.

I don't know why you think you have take 4 days to do it. You can work your whole body in one day 3 days a week just don't go crazy doing a million exercises 10 sets a piece. I wouldn't work out 4 days in a ROW ever. Not more than two and that would be an upper/lower setup most likely. If I were to do 4 or 5 day split I would have to lift pygmy weights.

It won't wear you out if the workload is appropriate.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

What do you mean by working your whole body in 4 days? Do you mean hitting everything once in that timespan? If so, it's not a bad idea. Something like chest/tri's, quad-dominant legs, back/bi's, posterior chain dominant legs (hip-hams)? Sounds okay. that way everything gets hit twice in eight days.

That's good if you are not concerning yourself with the calendar, ie using a calendar week as your microcycle. Doing the above, you'd be doing different stuff on the same day week to week. A lot of people don't have that discipline.

If you prefer to use calendar weeks, a good idea would be an upper/lower 4-day split like:

M: U
Tu: L
W: off
Th: U
F: L
Sa, Su: off

Going by your goals and what I take as your experience level I'd vote for the upper/lower setup. But I'd rather know what kind of thing you've done up to this point.

IMO, in general, the fastest way to start getting stronger is to take the term "body part" out of your training vocabulary altogether.
