One body part per workout is a terrible idea
you could fit in a full body workout or at least an upper/lower split in that time and spend less days in the gym
I see you've never done itIf you're doing a full body workout in 45 minutes it's not going to be good for much other than a pump.

it can be done with excellent results, far better than one body part per workout which is probably the worst way to do it

What can I say, I've pretty much tried it all over the past 34 years and the times I was exclusively doing full body workouts were the only times I've been accused of using roids.One body part per day is overkill imo, and there aren't enough days in the week, depending on how you group you muscles. But unless you're doing a full body workout every day I think it would be hard to fit enough volume in a reasonable window of time, and training a muscle daily is not optimal long term, for me anyway. I know a week is an arbitrary time frame but for the sake of argument. Imo the small amount of volume required per muscle group to complete a whole body workout in 45 mins is insufficient volume to make gains long term. Yes, I know volume and frequency are a trade off but I think you would have to increase the volume and decrease the frequency before too long. I think the optimum is probably somewhere in between. Frequency and volume are, for me, hard competitors to balance as 4 or 5 sets for a body part feels insufficient even though I know cumulative volume over time is important.
Pretty much.
at least drop "arm" day.
and bench and dip in the same workout is not a good idea.
generally you are just trying to fit too much in, just use one of the multi joint movements as a focus, adjust as you go along, start a log
Then when you're a bodybuilder, then you can do all the fancy smancy shit.

The beauty is that you work the muscles more often but spend less time in the gym.
I admit it took me a long time to get over the mindset that you need multiple exercises and multiple sets for a given body part but once I did it was liberating.
Every day is arm day so if you're going to drop it, you'll never be in the gymDrop arm day?
Drop arm day?
has the world gone mad?
What you like is one thing, what you're aiming to achieve (your goal), might require something different from that which you like. Putting the cart before the horse is to (often) do what we like instead of what needs to be done. So rather than make a comment based on your philosophy's preference, I'd wait to hear from you what it is that you like to achieve. A bitter medicine is not what we like to take, however the doctor knows what to prescribe for you based on what you need instead..., even if it might be a bit bitter initially. Thanks.I like MAX-OT philosophy and wonder if ...

Ok thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. To get stronger without necessarily getting bigger muscles, the low repetitions will see to that. However if you wish to add more size (in the way of volume to your muscles) instead of just some muscular density (in the way of myofibrillar hypertrophy dominance training) that comes with the lower reps (which you seem to favour), then perhaps a slightly different approach may be preferable to you sir, and that approach would afford you the ability to increase your muscle glycogen storage (volume) through the inclusion of some higher repetitions, where sarcoplasmic hypertrophy would balance your previously dominant myofibrillar focused workout.That is a good point sir!
My goal at the moment is to get nice physique and get stronger...

Squat/bench.
Deadlift/overhead.
Squat/bench.
Simple and works better than most people think. Hits more muscle than most people think too.
I have one mate in particular who trains in PL only.
His program for the last 2 years?
Squats.
Bench.
Deadlift.
Trains basically daily...
Just cycled his reps from with all 3 exercises. Does one a day.
6x6
7x5
8x4
10x3
Day 1 squats.
Day 2 bench.
Day 3 deads.
Day 4 bench 5x10 (lighter).
Day 5 squats
Day 6 bench.
Day 7 deads.
Day 8 bench 5x10 (+1kg).
This is what he has done for 2 years....body was 56kg. Now 92kg and fairly jacked. Probably 20% bf haha. But he wasnt lean at 5kg either.
He'd probably look better than most of the wannabes around the commy gyms if he just spent 2 or 3 months cutting. Lol.
Oh and his numbers?
200/130/240....
Looks good and is stronk like ox.
