    Isn't this the same question as the thread you started yesterday about a 5-day split? community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10263472/creating-a-5-day-spplit#latest

    Yes because i m not getting any preferable answers..

    This is the answer to your question. If you are just looking for validation of what you want to do, then have at it.

    Do a lot of super setting. Pick five or six exercises for each body part and do them all at once with no break. So for example do 10 to 15 reps of bicep curls, then immediately say shoulder press, then squats, etc. Do about 5 to seven sets of that. I use to superset at the gym all the time when I was looking for a change to my regular routine.

    If you didn't like the answers you were given, why don't you just go with your original plan and see what happens?

    I think you're a troll. You had at least two threads deleted last week because you (supposedly) wanted to eat 800 calories per day. Then you had yesterday's thread, in which you claimed your weight to be 62 (I'm assuming kg, as was discussed on your first 800 cal thread last week.) Today your profile reads that you have 132 pounds to lose. You also claimed yesterday to be "quite experienced" with lifting and yet come up with a 5 day split for fat loss (?) that combines chest and back to make time for separate tricep and bicep days. That's a very odd split.

    if you just want to maintain then I see no reason to do something every day. Just do whole body once a week, or push/pull/legs split three times a week.

    Just remember not to do the same body parts back to back. It takes 36 to 48 hours technically for your muscles to grow. If you doing say bi's and tri's on a Monday, make sure you don't do them again until Wednesday or Thursday. Same with whatever other body parts you choose to do on a particular day. So say chest and shoulders Tuesday, then don't do them again until Thursday or Friday, and so forth.

    You are making lifting way too complicated. If you are asking questions of this nature, and don't like the answers, don't ask the questions. I imagine you are fairly new to lifting, so working out everyday (lifting) is not preferable. Hit each muscle twice a week, but don't increase the weight, and you shouldn't get bigger. Or, focus on bodyweight exercises...

    That's not super-setting. That's a full body circuit.

    I think the OP is asking about single body part training. Here's my typical split:

    Chest
    Back
    Arms
    Shoulders
    Legs

    Some days I combine chest and back if I'm not going too heavy.

    That said, if you're just looking to maintain and not hypertrophy or strength gains, I think a full body or two-day split (upper/lower or push/pull) will do just fine.

    Here's what I do.

    Mon - Chest/Tri (High weights, low reps)
    Tues - Back/Bi (Low weights, high reps)
    Wed - Legs (High weights, low reps)
    Thur - Arms/Shoulders (Supersets)
    Fri - Chest (Low weights, high reps)
    Sat - Back (High weights, low reps)
    Sun - Legs (Low weights, high reps)

    Yes i liked this one...
    can i do like this

    mon- chest and back
    tuesday-triceps
    wednesday-biceps
    thursday-shoulders
    friday-legs
    You *can* do anything you want. Whether or not it makes sense is another question entirely.

    When you work chest and back, you're also working biceps, triceps and shoulders. When you work triceps the next day, you're also working the chest and shoulders. When you work biceps the next day, you're also working the back and shoulders. When you work shoulders the next day, you're also working the triceps and/or biceps and maybe the chest (depending on what movements you're doing). No problem if you're just swinging little pink dumbbells around in the gym, since you're not accomplishing anything that way anyhow, but if you're seriously working out you're not allowing any recovery time for the muscle groups - you're hitting them over and over on successive days.

    Five-day splits are usually advanced routines for bodybuilders who are doing a lot of volume/intensity and need the splits to keep the length of their workouts down. Even so, no advanced lifter/bodybuilder would contemplate a split like you're proposing, it makes absolutely no sense. You may want to visit some weight training sites and read up on different splits, there are much more sensible ways to do it than how you're proposing.
