Which is a superior workout

[jstreck6748]

I've questioned this for a long time and can't find a specific answer to this question. Just to make the math simple I'm going to say that the weight lifted is 100lbs per set. Is it more superior to workout 1 body part a week doing 3 exercises for 4 sets each, 1200lbs total for one week or to do 3 exercises 4 sets each on different days, still equaling 1200lbs for the week. Let me know your guys opinions.

The one with the weights that you gotta lift is a better workout..... I promise.

You haven't been able to find a specific answer because there isn't one.

You've posted only a few factors where dozens of factors apply. If effective training could be reduced to only a couple of arithmetic problems, we'd all look like Phil Heath and/or be as strong as Andy Bolton.

Exactly. Another thing to consider...I used to be super intense and I made great gains but I would always injure something and have setbacks. During this time, I watched less intense people train consistently and make better gains because they didn't deal with setbacks. There are way too many things to consider especially given that a "superior workout" is totally subjective. Does that mean the most strength gains or the most mass gains?
