Opinions on Workout Split

What do you think is better for building mass-
1) 1 BP a day for 5 days
2) 2 BP a day for a 3 on 1 off, 3 on 1 off.
or,
3)
Mon- Push movements (light weight)
Tue- Pull movements (light weight)
Thur-Sat- 2 BP a day, heavy lifting

None of them!

2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off...each bodypart trained once per week.

Thanks GoPro. How many sets do you recommend. I don't feel like I'm accomplishing much if I don't do a high volume when training only once a week.

my training split is:

mon-legs
tues-chest
wed-back
thurs-rest
friday-shoulders
sat-arms
sun-rest

It works really well. The 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off split has never really worked for me.....at least not as well as this split works for me......Try as many different splits as possible for 6-8weeks each and see which one lends itself to the best results....There are tons of ways you can spit up your body.

No more than 9 work sets for larger muscle groups and 6 -7 for smaller ones. This may not sound like much, but if you kick your ass on each set, you will grow!!

Is that including warm-up sets?
