    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.
    Wondering where to start? Confused? "Homework 1" will get you started.

    Think you're ready for the "next step"? Take this test.

    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.
