I'm new to both hypertrophy and strength training, previously I've always done the basic chest and triceps on one day, shoulders and biceps on another etc.
I've been looking into both these type of training and I've come across two ways which I'm not sure which would be better, doing 4 sessions a week, being 2 lower body and 2 upper body, within these having a heavy day each and a hypertrophy session each hitting the muscles twice a week.
I have also seen where people do them on the same day so for example chest and upper back on the same day however they do 1 or 2 strength training exercises (each muscle) then 2-3 hypertrophy exercises (each muscle) on the same day but only hitting the muscle once a week.
Which would be the better one to do or is it down to personal preference?
Thank you in advance for any advice given.
