Flaunt It

It’s important to keep an eye on your weekly training routine.

I’ve found that to be one of the most important and least managed aspects of training. I believe it’s so important because it’s how we create our rest. The is a general attitude of more is always best and don’t get me wrong there is times when it is.

But generally we need time to recover. We all need to properly balance our workouts too, that’s a fact. I find the 7 day training week great, because this is what we base our lives around.

There are training rotations that go outside of this. The most familiar being 2 training days on then 1 training day off and your cycle repeats for as long as you’re training.  My own training split is generally 5 days on 2 days off (7 days) and I keep my 5 days Mon – Fri and 2 days off on the weekends. Works perfectly with my work schedule and makes sense.

I rotate each body part over the 5 days and don’t double up on any of my body parts. Probably the biggest risk we face when we don’t monitor our weekly schedule is that we double up on our body parts too soon and don’t allow for proper recovery. We don’t grow in the gym. To stimulate our muscle development, allow for proper time away from the gym and good space between body part workouts and see the difference it makes in your training.
