Bulking has more to do with your diet than training, but theres a lot more to any training program than just the split.
Saying any sort of a split is better for anything is impossible to say because the other varibles arent known.
hey guys I'm new to the forum and I'm wondering what would be better to bulk from, a 4 or 5-day split? also, when are the most effective times to take creatine?

Well then in detail i eat 3000-4500cals a day. Eat right most of the time. I supplement Creatine and whey protein. my goal is to bulk until April 16 and then cut for 6 weeks. during my bulk i hope to gain anywhere from 10-20 lbs. My current stats and goals are as follows
weight - 182/ goal - 195-200
bench max - 185? (haven't maxed in a long time)/ goal - 225
Squat max - 275 / goal - 350
Deadlift - 250/ goal - 305
Hang clean max - 165? (haven't maxed on these ever)/ goal - 185
Height - 6'2/ goal - 6'3
Age - 14
Now what I'm wondering is since i have the time should i go for the 5-day split or will the 4-day split be efficient. Also, i was considering doing something like this...
4-day split - 2 weeks
5-day split - 2 weeks
and so on. Will that help or hurt me in anyway?
Also, when is the best time to supplement creatine monohydrate?
thanks guys,
damon.

hello?? has anybody on here tried MAX-OT?

1. Regardless of what split you do; to bulk you need to eat more calories than you burn.
2. You are only 14; so you will grow from almost any split/exercise selection/repetition range/rest period or anything else you can vary.
3. To begin with you should keep it simple. Base your program around squats, dead lifts, bench presses, chin ups, military presses, rows, dips, ie, nothing too fancy. Do not even bother with isolation work, viz, bicep curls and the like. See the training guides above
4. Aim for repetition ranges from 12-15; and come up with something that allows you at least two days rest per week.

oh i forgot to mention that I've been training since i was 12 with weights, I stuck to an upper-lower split for those years, but now I'm looking for something more advanced that's why I asked what everybody's thoughts were on MAX-OT.
thanks,

MAX-OT is that where u do like 1 set bench, 1 set incline , 1 set flies, etc...??? ive tried it n didnt get much out of it, but i hav friends that really progressed nicely from it. It's a sensible program, i personally just didnt like it
If you're gonna bury me.... bury me big!!
