It might be a good idea to read properly before trying to look clever.

Alright, whatever.....

Since when is the chest a SMALLER muscle group?

Active recovery is a good way to help sore muscles heal quicker and feel better. Do some push-ups after chest day if its still sore. Do bodyweight squats or do some light cardio if your legs are sore after leg day. Use some light weights on shoulders or back if they are sore.

Active recovery promotes blood flow to muscles which help reduce soreness a bit and aid a bit in recovery.

I dont know about y'all but my days of waiting 5-6 days between working each muscle are over. It's too long of a wait IMO. If you are an advanced lifter more into bodybuilding and you absolutely destroy each muscle group then working each muscle once per week makes sense but for most people it doesnt. Keep in mind that many people working out are either beginners, doing so just to stay healthy, doing so to burn fat, doing so to improve athleticism, etc so doing individual body part splits would not make sense for them.

just started my first cycle of animal pak and animal stak today, i've already gone through two gallons of water and i've been in and out of the restroom like 50 times already
my pee is like... fluorescent neon yellow too
other than that, i feel real good, hit the gym today and i was feeling really focused and energized, worked my biceps and back and i did more reps than i usually did

Unless you're going really hard, Animal Pak is a waste of money.

I know i need carbs to get energy to work out but im afraid to gain weight in my mid section...any 1 got any legit diet plans to me out..im no fat but i just wanna loose the belly fat and get a descent flat stomach..i been eating 3 times a day in the morning 3 egg whites 2 slice of turkey breast and 5 crackers/ lunch i usually eat a piece of chicken breast and a cup of rice and some mix veg and dinner a tuna or turkey sandwich with my protein shake..could the case of my weakness today be a result of not eating enough before working or is it the lack of nutrients and the carido burning away my muscle...or should i go back to eating about 1800 calories a day but of course clean and healthy...

You just said it, you're eating 800-1000 calories which is not enough for a human to function efficiently. If you combine a lack of food with an intense training program, you'll feel sick, not get a good workout and lose motivation easily. Not to mention that it's inefficient because if you're only eating that many calories, your body will start to conserve every bit of food it can get, which will slow your fat loss.

Don't stop eating carbs just because you're afraid you'll gain fat... you need the energy. You will feel weak if you don't eat enough.

Fat burns in a carbohydrate flame.

Without eating carbohydrates, youll greatly blunt the usage of fat as energy.

 

[itzbooranss]

Carb cycling is where it's at. Eating good fats is what's good too. Build muscle and you'll burn fat. Add in some HIIT and you'll be burning that belly in no time.

Bent over rows are alright as long as you stay 90 degrees. They are good because you can go heavy, but your ROM is sacrificed. Especially for you since youll hit your chest after half a rep 

I like 1 arm DB rows, pull ups, T bar row, and dead lifts..

 

[Mark Antony]

I hate any form of bent over rows. It just gives me this nervous "give up" feeling, like i'm bout to be sick.

I really like T-bar, but it's best to start off really light and work your way up to a certain weight...because just like the machine rows, you'll end up working out more bicep if you don't do it that way.

Scott Herman always has exciting workouts I like to do on weekends. Strength training gets boring after a while

Hey HEY I don't exactly know what this means. I think your hating on the length of my arms. You apple (hold tongue).

Only reason I haven't done t-bar is because it's annoying to set up without an actual t-bar. Plus, I don't want to break any mirrors (word to buddah).

Scott Herman from the real world lol I've seen some of his vids.

Like I said before, it might be agood idea to read properly ....something which you still obviously didn't -chest is a larger muscle group than back & legs? you need to revise your human anatomy.

Actually, you said:

But for smaller muscles such as chest, bis & tris
Not "chest is larger THAN back and legs".

Great post. Other good ideas/alternatives can be stretching, massage, and foam rolling.

I stand by my opinion that weighted pull ups and deadlifts are the best back exercises.
But you may be interested in the back lever. It's a gymnastics move that really hits the core, especially the lower back.

Check out pendlay rows also.
