[QUOTE="OSU Blue, post: 178392"] good post.. it was very interesting to read everyone's different perspectives. not what i expected.. i do one muscle group per day, in this order: chest, back, arms, shoulders, legs, repeat, usually with 1-2 nights off per week. by doing this order, it gives each muscle the proper amount of time to rest, and the sore secondary muscles from getting in the way of the primary muscle group of the day. i do more of a bodybuilding routine, but i have not seen any way it weakens me. the way i see it, a muscle does one thing: contract, so if all my muscles are powerful doing their own motion, when combined to natural movements (most movements in ruby are natural) i will be stronger. usually 12-16 sets of 10 reps per muscle (not muscle group). although during season some of the sets and the order may be altered for joint tweaks, bruises, injuries, etc. speed is a natural strong point of mine, so i stick to moderate distance running for conditioning, should do more, but i just really hate it.. i also realized that strength is 40% gym, 60% what you eat. and where did this 5x5 (and the similar) workout come from, ive never heard of it, and ive done quite a bit of research about lifting routines??
