1 muscle group a day

[b52]

Gonna switch it up a bit, and hit 1 group a day, except for legs and bi's/tri's. Figure that way I can hit the particular group with higher intensity, shorter duration, and at least 5 more sets than normal. Busy season is here, so I'm thinking the faster I can get in the gym and get out, the better, all while getting in more sets per muscle group. don't know why I didn't do this last year. Anybody train like this? I usually always pair up my muscle groups, but realistically I don't have the energy for a super intense workout, with multiple groups after a long day, and something's gotta give. I feel lazy doing this but I think it's more in my mind. Thoughts?

Works for me - been hitting like this for a long time:

day 1 - chest
day 2 - back
day 3 - rest
day 4 - shoulders
day 5 - arms
day 6 - legs
day 7 - rest

repeat

I've been doing this for years and still seeing improvement with each passing year. Except I work four days a week and do shoulders and back together. That gives my old body more rest and recovery time.

I just went from one body part per day to two body parts per day and I will say the intensity does fall off on the second body part. I will be going back to one body part per day

I used to do chest/tris and back/bis but like you guys said the intensity goes way down….When I would do chest/tris my tricepts would be so exhausted from my chest workout that it would be hard to work them in isolation the same thing with my back workouts and my biceps so now I try to do arms together and that's it I work every other body part by itself…

I grow way more combining body parts into training routines, and finish or cut much better doing one per day.

Chest/back (the traditional push/pull workout)
Legs
Shoulders
Biceps/triceps
