Thread: what's your favorite...

Day1
Push

Day2
Legs

Day3
Pull

Goals- Right now just trying to cut so I am trying to get down to 8%bf.

you shouldn't workout more than 2 days in a row.

No theres a day of rest between each.......sorry didn't post it. Kinda like Mon, Weds, Fri.

yea I figured, just trying to look smart

Currently doing push/legs/pull and my goals are to add size. I am thinking about switching to upper/lower or fullbody. I believe with that type of split I will be better able to assess what volume/intensity/recovery time is optimal for me. Just gotta eat more, that's the hardest part for me.

total body

size, strength, conditioning....yadda yadda....I think it is the way to go if you are into overal gains.

I like Full body 3x over 7 or eight days or Upper/ Lower 3x week
+ 2-3 days of a mix of sprints, stair running, skipping, bike sprints

Goals: strength and size plus a healthy

I kind of like upper-lower splits, but total body workouts are great too. I need to get myself into doing some total body shit again.

At the moment push/pull/legs. But we'll see what the future brings.

Upper/Lowers are fun. I was going to start doing 2 a days with upper in the morn and lower at night 3x a week, but it seems I'm busier and more tired than I thought I would be.

tired alot of em and i really favor dereks(aka the beast)http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beasttop.jpg routine for muscle and strength. To anyone who cares hes even bigger now lol
3-8 sets stop one rep shy of failure constantly switch exercises for body parts. Do mod inten cardio for 20-30 mins after lifting.
Mon-lower body heavy 3-5 range
tues-upper body heavy 3-5 range
weds-off
tues-off
fri-lower med 6-14 range
sat-upper med 6-14 range
sun-off

I'm liking the upper/lower alot.

I think total body is the way to go if you are interested in just basic conditioning. Thats where I'm at right now.

push/off/legs/off/pull

But just started total body 2x a week and loving it so far....think this will be my split for the next decade.

I am actually considering trying a full body 3 times a week. I mean 3 times a week is better for growth then 1-2 times right?

Push/pull/ legs
monday push
wed pull
friday legs

started on monday.

I wouldn't want to train all muscles 3 times a week, If you want to train lower and upper 3 times a week, try this

Day 1- Total Body Push
Day 2- Total Body Pull
Day 3- Off
Day 4- Off
Day 5- Total Body
Day 6- Off
Day 7- Off

As long as you are doing squats and/or deads on the days listed it looks good to me

would cross bench pullovers count as a pull? It works all the big muscles in the upperbody.

it can be considered as a push and a pull

mike546 you sound like a lil stuck up *****. I'm sorry but it seems like u only asked for these people's splits so you can diss em and piss on em! Are you an expert???

what are you talking about I was giving Brutus G an answer to his question

I think most people have the ability to recover from 3 full body sessions each week so long as they are periodized properly.

What about 6 times a week full body? http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=960811
I mean as long as u build up to it and deload when CW recommends. In 3 weeks i will try this.

I think that's over the top for your average trainee, but give it a go. He claims it has worked with a bunch of clients.
