This will end up being extremely detrimental in the not so distant long run. You have the right idea - training each body part once a week. But the only time that you will make progress is when you rest. You MUST give your body time to recuperate! Fill out your profile so we know a little more about you and your goals, and I'm sure that we'll be able to help you from there. -------------- Michael Trample the weak; hurdle the dead!
