Routine Planning for Female Bodybuilding
Every person out there has a different body. I would never suggest that one routine fits all. It’s a matter of trying different things and seeing what kind of results you get. Routine planning for female bodybuilding requires trial and error with a degree of calibration. I thought I’d share a little on you can workout.
Body Split Workouts: This workout routine works on the idea of single factor theory; lift and you will grow. The idea is to work your entire body over a 1 week period. This is the most popular of bodybuilding workouts. An example would be…
Monday: Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps
Wednesday: Back, Biceps, and Traps
Friday: Legs, Calves and Abs
It’s super simple and easy to follow. There is no excuse to mix anything up or feel overwhelmed with information.
Hypertrophy Specific Training(HST): HST is a much more complex idea of weight lifting. I feel it is a more evolved workout routine. At first you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of work required since you’re expected to workout your entire body in one workout.
Duel Factor Hypertrophy Training(DFHT): I personally use this one and it just happens to be the most complex. This works on a duel factory theory of training. The idea is that there is more to building muscle than just lifting heavy weight.
- Cycling Volume
- Rest Periods
- Reps
- Speed
DFHT has many different things that need to be done to maximize growth. You do upper and lower body workouts. You focus on ideas like volume, which is the total weight multiplied by the total reps over a week. As well as the rep range you do and the speed that you do it in.
Give them all a try and see which one works best for you. Remember that we’re all different and what works for me, may not work for you. Try them all out and one is sure to work great for you. Routine planning for female bodybuilding isn’t that hard, you just need to try things out.
