Whats up everyone? I've heard from a couple people that if you hit each body part at least twice a week, that the intensity on one of the workouts should be less than the other. Here's my split:
Backs/bis/forearms on Mon and Thurs
chest/tris/shoulders/abs on Tues and Fri
legs Wed and Sat
Cardio Sunday
They were telling me to do the same routine, just reduce the number of sets (volume), but to keep the weight up like the first workout of the week. Thoughts?

I don't think that the idea that one session has to be less intense than the other is really that vital, but you may have more success in eg having a heavy vertical pulling+lighter horizontal pulling day and a light vertical pulling+heavy horizontal pulling day for back, and applying this principal for the other days as well. It would give you some variation in the rep range you work in while still applying consistency in the ranges that you work in.
Maybe you could do an upper lower split and spend only 4 days in the gym. Or maybe you know your body well enough to disregard this and can work out 6 days a week.'People are gonna remember me as a god forever...
