Hi Cathe,
I've been trying a one bodypart a day rotation for quite a while to build muscle and lose fat. I try to do either an S&H bodypart and cardio, or a combo of PS/CTX/Pyramids for one bodypart and cardio. If I do legs, I combine it with another upper body part, and skip cardio.
My question is, "How do I fill 30 minutes with one bodypart, and stay heavy enough to build muscle?". I've read that you and some of your background exercisers work one bodypart a day, so I figure you are doing the one bodypart for at least 30 minutes.
When I start with PS Chest, for example, and then do CTX Chest, I must move down quite a bit in weight to be able to continue to lift fot 30 minutes. I wonder if I'm defeating the purpose of building muscle when the workout changes into more endurance than strength. S&H doesn't cause the problem, because the lifts are slow enough to stay heavy for the full 30 minutes.
Hope this makes sense,
PennyLaney
