    Working some body parts 2x a week

    I have been bulking for a couple months now and seen great results. I have stuck to a workout routine where I do each bodypart once a week. I am going to start doing a workout split such as this
    Monday- Chest/tris
    Tuesday- Legs
    Wednesday - Back/bi
    Thursday- Shoulders
    Friday- Chest
    Saturday-Legs
    I was wondering if anyone else has tried the 2x a week training approach before and what results they had and what their eating macros and supplements were

    OP I'm glad you've decided to start training twice a week, since it's generally superior for most natural lifters.


    But your routine you posted is odd. So you train chest and legs twice a week, but back, biceps, triceps and shoulders only once a week? Where's the sense in that? A better bet might be



    Upper body
    Lower body
    Off
    Upper body
    Lower body
    Off
    Off


    Alternatively:

    Chest/tris
    Back/bis
    Legs/Shoulders
    off

    Repeat




    as for supplements: take creatine if you can be bothered with the 2% difference it will make, and take protein powder or weight gainer only if you have trouble getting enough protein/calories in from food, (unless in where ever you're from, protein powder/ weight gainer is cheaper than food, in which case you might as well).

    that's a good regime.
