Hello everyone,

I started going to the gym in February and followed the same workout plan until now. A few weeks ago I started running and it makes it difficult to keep going to the gym as often as before. I was wondering if this two days per week workout plan would be good enough to grow (or at least maintain) muscles:

Day 1: Upper body / core

  • Lat pulls
  • Dumbbell bench press
  • Dumbbell bicep curl
  • Pushdowns
  • Back extensions
  • Pec fly (or chest press machine)

Day 2: lower body / shoulders

  • Seated leg curls
  • Leg press
  • Leg extensions
  • Calf raises
  • Side lat raises
  • Dumbbell overhead press

I also start each training with incline sit-ups.

Thank you!

    I’d agree with the other commenter, you’d be better off doing 2 full body days instead of hitting each muscle just once a week.

    It’s also extremely important to make sure you’re going close to failure. Since you’re working out twice a week, it’s even more important to make sure you maximize your effective reps.
