I was just wondering if you could do the shldrs and arms workout more than once a week and not over train? The rotation only suggests doing it once a week but I am trying for more defintion. Any suggestions?thanks!
 
Hi Laura.

I would think it would be okay so long as you give your body enough rest in between work outs. I'd say give it atleast 2 solid days of recovery before hitting the work out for the 2nd time.

Give it a shot. If you find you are too tired or sore then you will know it's not a good idea.

Let us know how it works out for you!:)
 
I don't think you NEED to do it more than once a week, but if you want to, be sure that there is at least one day between this workout and Chest/Back (and the first use of S&H) because it can otherwise not give enough recovery time for shoulders.

I also recommend maybe doing it once with heavier weights at 10-12 rep sets, and the second time with lighter weights and 12-15 rep sets, just to mix things up.

Actually, definition is a combo of muscle (which you will get by working hard and allowing enough recovery) and body fat loss (which won't happen by doing work for the smaller muscles, but will get a boost by working the larger muscles, so S&H won't do much for it necessarily).
