As title above, everyday i train whole body muscle group
from top to toe -.-
compared to particular muscle group

which 1 is more effective ?
because if i train particular muscle group will a bit bored, no motivation to continue

Dude, if you're dedicated, it'll never be boring. Training particular body part (split training) is better than whole body workouts. That's the only way each body part could get enough stimulus each time to grow.

Split training for more intensity so that muscles can grow. If you don't train hard enough, you're not going to gain mass.

hard to maintain one muscle group each time go, let say today do chest part, i will tangan gatal go do biceps or triceps

are u using rippetoe full body or machine full body?

instead of doing whole body muscle workouts , do compound workouts , i.e Squat, Deadlifts, etc.

part of rippetoe part of machine

i also do the whole body tranning but i will focus on my main muscle 1st den continue 4 the rest of part..i found quite effective

Compound workouts like david said.

how long have you been training and what is your specific goal?

Whole body training is great for beginners but when you're more advance and stuck at a plateau, you'd need to go do accessories and focus on strengthening your weakest link.

Most people who start can go on a linear program for 2-3 years before they need to specialize.

i jus started to gym-ing jus for 2 months, but i see myself dun have any obvious result.. so i still thinking of going to split training or whole body training ..

Baru dua bulan!
Dude, not enough time lah. Give it 1/2 year.

fulll body training is only useful to keep fit...not for bodybuilding!..

split ur workouts..teach u da most basic splits:

chest+triceps

shoulder+back

biceps+leg

maksudnyer, i should stick to whole body training ? thx... hee

Asalkan engko getting stronger and lifting heavier, full body or split training will work.

Later when you know more about training, then you can move on to whatever type of training you like.
Body part split, upper lower split, pus-pull-lower body split, anti-gravity split, zero body split, banana split, etc...
=P

is all those splits is compound workouts?
thx for explaining

Well
for myself i would prefer total workout

LOL!
I was just fooling around with you. Hah hah! =D

Generally body part splits will have 1-2 compound movement and more isolation movements.

Upper lower splits would have more compound movements and maybe a few isolation movements.

Banana split would have Pavlovian reaction & peristalsis movement! X^D
