    I desperatly need a good 4 day split... *help*

    Hey guys, i have been lifting pretty compentantly since november or last year, i have gained some weight and strenght but i really think that the big problem has been i havnt commited enought to a proper diet, mainly not eating enough, but also my workouts are sorta repetitive and loosely organized. Most every week its:

    Monday- Chest
    Tuesday- Legs (maybe alittle back)
    Wednesday- Break
    Thursday- Arms
    Friday- Shoulders/back


    The actual routine of each day is quite repetive so i need a good structured split, i also havnt started a journal, so i plan to start one soon.

    So what im asking you, is give me your splits that you thought worked for you or are working for you, i have heard about that p/rr/shock thing, thats interesting.

    Anyway so please provide me with some splits, and maybe i will modify them a bit to suit me... i really need the structure of a good split journal so i can gain the mass i need, cause currently i have been stuck at this same weight for like 3 or 4 months (i am going to eat more!)


    thanks!

    Hello Andrew and welcome to IM. If you take some time to look at the stickys at the beginning of this forum, I'm sure you'll find a routine that would suit your needs. As for diet, go to the nutrition forum and post you current diet there. You jave two great moderators, Jodi and Emma whom I'm sure would be more then happy to help you. Hope this helps.

    I was built just like you. Real skinny, with low bf%. You need to bulk. That means eat like you never ate before. Eat until you feel sick. Thats what I did. You could easily gain 20lbs in 6 weeks. After that it gets harder. You just have to keep eating. As for training. Don't even bother isolated any bodyparts. You need to stick with heavy compound movements. Don't worry about your arms, they will grow. Keep your activity level down and your workouts short. 30 mins should be sufficient. All you really need to think about is eating. Work-out 3 days a week. Stick to the squats, deadlifts, bench and military press. When I say eat, I mean EAT. No 3-4 meals a day. You need to be eating every 3 hours. Big meals. Start reading and post a diet.

    There's about a million different 4 day splits you can try, and probably any are fine. I like the upper-lower split with 2 days for each.

    Most likely your issues with mass gains are diet related. Eat big to get big.

    Check out the diet section here. There is a lot of good information in the stickies alone.
