The answer depends on your particular program or routine. Below are a few examples of popular combinations used by professional weightlifters and bodybuilders. The best way to think about the groups are:
A1: The primary muscle(s) used to define the group.
A2: The muscle(s) that oppose A1 (perform the opposite movement).
B1: The muscle(s) that are most commonly used with A1 to perform compound movements.
B2: The muscle(s) that oppose B1 (much like how A2 opposes A1).
In this answer, they will be listed as "A - B". The "A" and "B" designations are interchangeable.
A1 + A2: Some people train these muscle groups together, because it forces a balance in the training program. It is important to make sure that the flexor and extensor muscles in each group get fair treatment, or you will be prone to possible injury and other health problems.
A1 + B1: Some people train these muscle groups together, because these groups often cooperate to perform compound movements, and it is often convenient to work them together. People who train this way will often train A2 and B2 together on the following day, for the same reasons listed above.
A1 + B2: This rare combination is sometimes employed to "shock" the muscles and change up the routine, in order to stimulate muscle growth when experiencing a plateau in size or strength advancement.
Biceps / Triceps - Rear Deltoids (upper back) / Pectorals (chest)
Trapezius (collar) / Rear Latissimus (the "V" muscles) - Outer Deltoids (shoulder) / Front Latissimus (outer ribs)
Front Abdominals (abs) / Lower Back - Front Hip Flexor / Gluteus Maximus
Side Abdominals (obliques) / (left/right) - Outer Hip Extensor / Groin
Quadrieceps / Tibialis Anterior (shin) - Hamstrings / Calves
Most workout routines for building muscular strength, size, tone, and endurance typically segregate the days into some combination of these groups.

∙ 14y agoThis question is based on the false premise that you should work certain muscle groups every day. It is false that you grow in the gym. What you do in the gym is catabolic; it stresses and tears down muscles. You grow outside the gym. Recovery is anabolic. You must get sufficient rest if you are going to grow. The rule is simple: in order to ensure systemic as well as localized recovery, wait 24 or 48 hours after all DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) has disappeared before training again.

How long should you let your bicepmuscles rest after you work them out?
Human muscles usually take about 24-48 hours to regenerate after a workout. People usually workout every second day to let their muscles recover before they do it again.
What happens to muscles when they are exercised regularly?
It can often be a cursing and blessing when muscles are exercised regularly. Muscles get tighter and become more stronger after time with the proper amount of exercise to them, but they can often be sore for several days depending on the severity and intensity of your workout. Always ensure that if you push yourself on a workout, you give your muscles a day to relax as to not strain them.
Is chocolate milk the best post workout drink?
no, orange juice is, it helps stop your muscles from aching the next day
How much better is it to have a protein shake before a workout?
You don't exactly need a protein shake before your workout. A protein shake is best taken right after you are finished with your workout. After your workout your muscles have begun to break down and the faster you take in some protein the faster your muscles will recover. I would only recommend taking protein at other times of the day if you are not recieving the approximate amount of protein you need through your diet.
What are the benefits of a randy couture workout?
Randy Couture Workout will get you as fit as a UFC fighter. It will provide you with more abs, toner muscles, and the most essential; stronger physique. All with just little workouts a day!
Protein before or after workouts?
Yes you will still gain muscle. If you eat during the day your body takes in protein. This alone will help muscle recover and build mass. While taking in protein immediatly after lifting will help promote muscle growth, protein taken in while eating throughout the day will also help
Does running after working out your legs help?
No, definitely not. It would cause more damage than good. After a workout, your muscles would be tired. You must give them time to recuperate/recover and provide them with protein and other healthy food to grow. If you are going to run after a workout, your muscles would get fatigued. They are already tired after the workout and if you run they will get fatigued. This can cause catabolism and your muscles can shrink in size instead of growing. Running/jogging is a good exercise for your legs but do not do it before/after a leg workout. Do it on a separate day. Do not club it with your leg workout.
Why do protein shakes prevent you being sore the day after a workout?
The reason you do not get sore while you re drinking a protein shake is because it gives you the protein your body needs for your muscles to heal after a workout, therefore making you less or not sore.
When do muscles burn blood sugar or glucose?
Muscles burn calories or sugar. When you workout the energy you ingested by means of meals are burnt to fuel the muscular movements part of the workout. When you continue to workout regularly, when you need extra energy to feed your muscles, your body transforms a part of the fat deposited under your skin in various parts of your body into sugar and uses it to power itself. So a good workout burns both sugar and fat.
Can you exercise 15 minutes twice a day to get the benefits of a full 30 minute workout?
Absolutely. It's actually better to split up your workout throughout the day for various reasons, such as it would fit into your schedule more easily and it would give you a boost in burning calories.
