Thread: My 4 day split workout

I usually train Chest/Abs/Calves, Back, Shoulders/Bi's/Tri's, Legs, Off day. I would like to maybe move to a Push/Pull split and get rid of the isolations and get out quicker.

Thanks,

Depends on your goals. I believe it's wise to balance all elements into your training. Strength work, maximal lifting, power lifting, endurance lifting, speed, etc. Mix it up entirely. You can grow at any rep range/intensity. It really all comes down to diet and rest.

Check out Gaz's site (getlifting.info) for his article on linear periodization. You'll get great ideas.
