four or five day split?

[fraseram]

both splits hit one part per week........ cant decide

Well... what are the splits broken in to? I would say 4 day probably.

I like both. I used to hit it 5x a week, the standard m-f routine. Now I do weights 2 on 1 off and on the off day Ill hit some light cardio for 45 mins or so. Works pretty well. Every now and then Ill take a full day off, but not too often. As for your question, Id go 4 days if you are trying to add more mass or 5 day split if your shooting more for a leaner body.

My all time favorite is a 3-day split, push/pull/legs.

fraseram, you're natural. Bodypart splits really aren't great for natties. You're probably better off hitting everything at least twice a week.

I did some re thinking and with my new routine I can either hit my weights four or five times per week..... and in those I can hit MANY diff splits or times per week each part get used
I was thinking
mon
chest tris shoulders
tues
back bis legs
wed yoga/off
thurs
chest tri shoulders
fri
back bi legs
sat sun
yoga/off

Im thinking that is what ringing bells for me rather than the one part per week split

13 day! FTW! haha, OJ

4 day would be better, hitting movement patterns as opposed to bodyparts.
