With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

Muscle actually grows and repairs itself when at rest, not while working. A better split would be to work each major muscle group once a week, twice at best. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

For example, I start the first week lifting legs, quads on mon, wed, and fri, while hams on tues, thurs, and sat. The next week I start chest and back alternating them every other day and so forth until all body parts have been hit within a month and then start over. Is this a possibility for good gains?

For example, I exercise my abs 2 days/wk, my legs 2 days/wk, & lift weights the other 3 days. I also do cardio. But I leave at least a day between my ab workouts, etc. I would think that you should work each muscle group 2 or 3 times/week but not more than that. I think that would be more beneficial.
