working out more often

josmit Posts: 107 Joined: 2005/06/09	2005/09/03, 04:03 PM I have been working out 4 days a week, doing 2-4 muscles per day, this works each muscle once each week. Id like to increace this to build mass quicker. would it help to take less days off and work each muscle a little more often than once per week?

Working tri's and bi's together works good as a shocking routine but I wouldn't do it to put on mass especially not twice a week. Just a recommendation, but for a couple of weeks try something along the lines of what bropie posted and you ought to see some better results. It won't take you long to figure out that you can work your arms every day and they won't get any bigger. -------------- Mike in Pensacola Now.
