For me to "bodybuild" is about getting bigger andmore toned and what not. that be a 4 day workout to me, cause you can split the body up more, and concentrate on skulpting and toning. To get stronger to me 3 days is best, since you lifting the heavest weight possible few times, you need extra rest for this. I feel stronger have a day rest in between my heavy days. Or you can do a four day week, 2 days focus on strength in that area, the other 2 days being lighter with different body parts. All depends on you and how your body recovers, i'd do no more than 4 days a week personally. SOme can work out 5 days a week, and feel good, however they also sem to plateau alot too. But its your routine try different ones and see how they feel. -------------- if you kick a tiger in the @$$ , you then have to descide what to do with the teath end. any guy can hold a girl by the hand, but only the select few can hold her by her feet!

I would rather do a lot of diff workouts 3 days a week then a few 5 days a week. Are there any advantages to working out only 3 times a week or 5 times a week? Or does it really not matter? Is one better for gaining quicker muscle?
