    ok... quite frankly, you should be doing both.

    4-8 weeks of strength based training... progressive overload important here, Concentric failure every 3rd session - this means fullbody's

    then 8-12 weeks of hypertrophy-specific training - ie splits with 8-12 range. No need to go any heavier than this.

    Blood Volume, Controlled Negatives, and maximal fibre stimulation important here...

    To put it simply,

    Something like Rippetoes for 8 weeks,

    then a basic 3 day split(done twice per week) for 12 weeks, with a week of strategic deconditioning between.

    Pm if you need further info
    Solitude is a hard-one ally, faithful and patient; yeah, i think i know you.....

    Thanks go to Thickmass for the festive avatar!

    Thanks go to Carmen for the idea of thanking Thickmass in my sig!
