Muscle Groups

I am curious as to whether it matters if you break up muscle groups into certain days (Monday - legs, Tuesday - arms, etc.) The workout I am following now has "push" days and "pull" days.

Will it hinder my progress to combine the days and do both the push and pull routines at once? I understand that muscles need time to repair but I like to work my arms everyday. Is there such a thing as a full body weight routine or are they all designed to have certain days dedicated to certain muscle groups?

Thanks in advance for your input.

    Yes there are full body routines, that's where most beginners will start out. unless you are bodybuilding I don't see the need for most people to do a full body part split.

    Full body, upper/lower or push/pull/legs works great for fat loss and general strength building

    A standard full body routine would be something like

    Deadlift
    Db split squat
    Bench press
    Overhead press
    Barbell row or Chin ups/pull ups

    Thanks!

    The workout you described is pretty much what I was thinking about doing. I guess I will combine the push days and pull days into one workout.


    :happy:
