Everyone has their preverance on which muscle groups to combine!
Most people might use the old Weider principle which combines one larger and one smaller muscle group!
For example you would train Back and Biceps on Mondays, Chest and Triceps on Tuesdays, and Legs and Shoulders on Wednesdays!
As you may know we work a great amount of biceps by training back muscles already, so it seams to be logical to train both of the together!
We also train a good amount of triceps as we are working on our chest area, which makes it obvious to train those two at the same time!
I am using a guess on why to combine shoulders and Legs , just because I have been doing that lately to increase my overall caloric and carbohydrate intake on that specific day 🙂
We have also been using Arnold Schwarzenaeckers principal to train opposite muscles together…
Back and Chest, Biceps and Triceps ( and Shoulders), legs!
The reason why Arnold used this method was to keep blood flow in specific areas!
More blood flow , more nutrience being delivered, more muscle gain…
Sometimes you may want to concentrate on one area for one day…
It doesn’t really matter!!!
There is no right and no wrong.
You just want to switch it and change it around to make your body respond better 😉
Keeping the body from adapting is the key…
And our body is smart and learns fast!!!
So keep it going!
Change the workout…
Change weight/ reps…
Change muscle groups your combining…
Switch it up any way you can!
Doing the same thing over and over will keep you from reaching your goal!
Be creative 🙂
