Unless you’re an olympic powerlifter, then twice a week is good, just space out the times spent working each muscle by 3 to 4 days.

Thanks in advance.

There are three things to remember in choosing the right workout program for you: First, you need to have an overloading stimulus. Second, workout every single muscle group at least once per week. Lastly, provide enough rest in between sessions so that the body can effectively recover. If you want to learn all about this, I highly recommend this site: http://muscleprogression.com/muscle-building-workouts/

This is for a dumbell

lift it ten times with your upper arm pointing down, and just your lower arm moving.
push it away ten times from your chest to the point your arm is stretched and pointing forward. Keep your arm in that position for 10 seconds.
lift it all the way up, so your arm is pointing to the sky, then bend your upper body slightly to the opposite site, so when your right arm is up, you bend left and vice versa.

A weekly workout won’t do a lot of good, try to workout 10 minutes a day 5 days a week, that’s better than 50 minutes once a week.

How much rest do we need before next workout for that muscle group for maximum muscle growth?
Thanks!

I’d say a day. When talking about muscle growth you seriously need to let your muscle grow than working it all the time (I’m not saying that you do). By leaving your muscles plenty of time to rest you’ll make better gains.

If you’re a beginner then I’d recommend doing weights 3 times a week meaning you do it on alternate days. When one becomes more advanced (>1 year) your muscles are more conditioned for working out 4-5 times a week.

What are the best muscle groups to workout on a 5 day workout week, or if you have any websites with good workouts that would be great too.

Here is a 4-day workout that hits everything, twice.

There is scientific data that suggests that you can build more muscle working out muscle groups twice a week than just once a week. Even 3 times a week would be OK as long as you have a minimum of 48 hours of rest in between work outs for those muscle groups. If bulking up is your goal, you need to do some lower body workouts because natural testosterone and HGH are stored in our thigh and butt muscles. Working out these muscles releases those natural hormones to the rest of our body working as a kind of natural steroid. Do all of your exercises in 4 sets with 8-12 reps. Less than 8-12 reps will build more strength, and more reps will tone your muscles more, but 8-12 reps builds the most size. Also, focus on doing multi-joint movements (more than one joint moves to perform the exercise). Multi-joint movements are scientifically proven to build the most size and strength.

If I had enough free time, this would be my exact schedule:

Monday and Thursday: Chest, Shoulders, Triceps

Chest:
Barbell Bench Press (5 X 10)
Dumbbell Incline Bench Press (5 X 10)
Dips (5 X 10)
Dumbbell Butterflies (5 X 10)

Shoulders:
Dumbell Shoulder Press (5 X 10)
Dumbebell Lateral Raises (5 X 10)
Dumbbell Rear Deltoid Raises (5 X 10)

Triceps:
Close Grip Bench Press (5 X 10)
EZ Bar Lying Tricep Extensions {AKA Skull crushers} (5 X 10)
Cable Tricep Press Downs (5 X 10)
Bench Dips (5 X 10)

Tuesday and Friday: Legs, Back, Biceps, Core

Legs and Back:
Barbell Squat (5 X 10) -superset with- Pull-Ups (5 sets of as many reps as you can)
Leg Extensions (5 X 10) -superset with- Chin- Ups (5 sets of as many reps as you can)
Leg Curls (5 X 10) -superset with- Lat Pull Down (5 X 10)
Calf Raises (5 X 10) -superset with- Low Rows (5 X 10)

Note: Supersets are 2 sets of exercises focusing on different body parts done back to back with little or no rest in between. It is used as a time saving measure.

Biceps:
Barbell Curl (5 X 10)
EZ Bar Preacher Curl (5 X 10)
Dumbbell Hammer Curls (5 X 10)
Cable Rope Curls (5 X 10)

Core:
Sit-ups (4 sets of as many reps as you can) super set with Back Extensions (4 sets of as many reps as you can)
Lying Leg Raises (4 sets of as many reps as you can) – This blast that area below your belly button. Do it for 2 months and that fat will be gone. Keep doing it and it will never come back!

Your ultimate goal for core is to be able to do 4 sets of 25 reps for all exercises.

Rest 1-2 minutes between sets. No less, no more.

Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday: Rest

If you have enough money I would strongly recommend that you buy Creatine. creatine is a supplement that helps people gain weight and strength quickly. It has been around for over 15 years and there are no negative side effects. In fact, there are several other health benefits besides improved size and strength. If you can take Protein powder too, that would definitely help you gain weight.

Good luck!

Are there any remedies in treatment and prevention of muscle soreness?

It’s pretty simple.
1: Stretch right before and right after for the muscles you’re working out and use about 10- 20 seconds on each stretch.
2: Eat as much protein as you can, at a time the body can absorb about 30 grams of protein, and even more after a fast(when you wake up) and after your workout. Try to keep about 2-3 hours between intakes.
3: Drink lots of water.
4: Sleep, sleep, and oh yeah, SLEEP! Your muscles need lots of rest, sometimes I’ll sleep for up to 16 hours, but do what you can fit into your schedule.
Good luck, and you’ll see some pretty sweet gains from changing it up a lot, it’s very good for muscle confusion and barely any people take advantage of it.

I am interested in loosing 30lbs of fat. I am aware that my diet WILL play a role in this but am concerned that p90x is more of a program intended for muscle growth. Your thoughts would be much appreciated!! Thanks.

Its for both…… I lost 22 pounds and gained some good muscle in 90 days….P90X will give you a diet plan to follow and it changes every 30 days with the exercise program……..>
Simply put….It works……..>

Remember muscle burns fat……….Dont be afraid of it….Keep pushing play and bring it…….>
