Hey guys I'm 16 years old and have been doing gym for about a year now. The holidays are coming up and I'm thinking about working out 6 days a week to look a bit better for next year, should I do this?
Thanks!
 
Yes, 3 day split, all body parts twice per week, rest for 1 day, repeat.
Works, but is taxing.
 
As the other guys said - what is your current program?

Aslong as your training everything - then fuarrrk yea go for it...
 
That's fine as long as you're recovering. If you're body is constantly sore, even after few weeks, maybe cut it back a bit.
 
Man, you're 16 you can train 24/7 and still have time to shag and get on the piss, wake up next day go wtf and do it all over again. You're perpetually invincible!*

*until you turn 20

^^^^^ This, when I was 16 I was training twice a day most days apart from Sundays I would only do a morning session….at 16 overstraining is not something that is likely to happen as long as you eat enough to fuel the training and get plenty of sleep.

Remember you grow while you rest not while you train.
 
Hey guys thanks for that!! Well I've been doing the "bro split" usually I do legs Sunday, chest/tris Monday rest Tuesday legs again Wednesday shoulder and traps Thursday and back/bi Friday rest Saturday then repeat. My focus is bringing out my legs and arms that's why I'm considering 6 days a week
 
Alright thanks I'm thinking about doing this let me know if its acceptable:
Monday- legs
Tuesday- arms
Wednesday- chest
Thursday- legs
Friday- arms
Saturday- back
Does this sound okay?

I've never done full body, but my aim for the next 2 months is to bring out my legs and arms thats why I want to do arms and legs twice a week
 
I am sure others will agree that if you are working your back, shoulders and chest twice a week your arms will get enough indirect workout to grow, especially if going heavy and eating right...

At 16 full body is your best bet. Train as often as you can. If you are doing full body legs will get a heap of work and if you have energy add some extra curl sets on at the end but the bulk of the workout should be the big lifts. Overhead press / squat / bench / deadlift / rows.

You do not need an arms day.

Thanks! So every full body day I should do bench press squats and dead lifts or separate them different days?

The way I would do it is pick one upper and one lower hit them both hard then do some smaller exercise after.

Day 1 do deadlift and bench + what ever assistance you like.

Day 2 squats and overhead press + whatever assistance you like.

Then repeat day 1



Add the rows onto whatever day you feel works best.
