[PDF] 6 day bodybuilding workout routine

What kind of results can I expect from a 6 day workout routine?

Without a good understanding of how to structure your workouts, control intensity/weight load/rep ranges, and recover properly, 6 days of weightlifting per week can lead to overtraining and even injury, which is obviously counterproductive.

What exercises should I include in my 6 day workout routine?

The larger muscle groups (such as chest, back, shoulders and legs) should be trained once a week (or at least according to popular convention). The smaller muscles groups (such as biceps, triceps, and calves) should be trained twice a week. And with a 6 day workout routine, you are allowed one rest day per week.

How often should I rest and recover when doing a 6 day workout routine?

In order to benefit from a 6 day split, you must be able to recover from a workout within 2-3 days. This is because 6 day splits often require training each body part twice a week.

Is it safe to do a 6 day workout routine?

A 6 day workout schedule is one of the most effective routines for building muscle. But this is true only for those who can recover well enough. For most beginners, working out 6 days a week is simply overkill. You might be able to get away with a 5 day split, but the 3 day workout routine, is the best option for beginners.
