calling out miscers who even lift

[alg0801]

Has anyone here used a more popular "split" (i.e. full body/upper-lower/push-pull 3-4x a week) on here as well as a traditional split that favors 1x a week training and elaborate on what worked better for them? The conventional argument on this website seems to be frequency > volume so FB or U/L split is ideal, whereas the people I see in real life that are aesthetic all use 1x a week splits with lots of volume/variation in exercises. Anyone care to comment on what worked better for them?

I noticed faster gains when performing the big compounds twice a week. When I tried 4/5 day splits I didn't feel there was a reason for 6 whole days before working the same body part again. It felt like wasting time. It also doesn't take 7 different chest exercises in a workout to stimulate growth.

3 days on, 1 day off

Day 1: chest and biceps
Day 2: legs and shoulders
Day 3: back and triceps

Cycle sets/reps every split.

Cycle 1 - high sets/low reps (6-8 sets of 2-5 reps)
Cycle 2 - low sets/high reps (3-4 sets of 8-12 reps)
Cycle 3 - mixed (pyramid)

this is my current routine as well, i love it!

4 days

chest/tric/bic

legs/shoulders (rear delts as well)

back/bic

chest/tric (or if another bodypart is lacking, that bodypart instead)


I only do 4 days atm because I go to failure on nearly every set. Cant go 5 days as im totally burned out at the end of the week.

Making gains.
