I've been lifting weights since high school, and that's been well over a decade now. I love the clarity of mind that a good gym session gives me, and feeling stronger definitely contributes to my overall energy levels and well being. It never hurts to be a little stronger too, as I'm sure that's done some good things for my confidence levels, even if I don't realize it.
When I lift weights, I usually follow a pretty consistent workout routine. You might do the same if you use a gym. Like many, I wondered for a long time whether my workouts should target one muscle or two muscles each time I go.
I've tried both of these approaches. For a very long time, I would regularly work two muscle groups together in one workout.
When I was doing two muscles per weight lifting session, I would typically have a three day rotation before starting all over again.
There are some good things about doing things this way. Very often, I'd end up working important muscles like my chest and legs twice in a week, which was great for muscle growth.
The disadvantages are the fact that the workouts will naturally be longer, and it may not be necessary to work each muscle group twice. I learned this from a little experience.
Recently, I decided to change things up by switching to a six day rotation. I just work on one muscle group each visit to the gym, which allows me to do some more sets and get a better workout in.
You're probably wondering if this makes a difference if you've never tried it. If you're able to get to the gym about five days per week, I'd definitely suggest doing it. Your muscles will be fine. If you're only going two or three times, though, you're probably best off sticking to two muscles per workout. - 31525
