Is my split optimal enough for my goals?

[ryguy603]

Hi, I was just wondering if my split will be optimal for achievement of my goals.

I have been training for almost a year now and I am coming back from an injury and ready to go hard in the gym. I am 18 btw so I am fully capable of working out 5-6x a week.
My goal is to bulk to my target weight 175 (currently 165) and also grow certain spots of my body that need to be enhanced (arms)

Here is my split:
Monday - Chest and Triceps
Tuesday - Legs
Wednesday - Back and Biceps
Thursday - Shoulders and Traps
Friday - Biceps and Triceps
Saturday/Sunday - Rest

honestly just wondering if this is gonna be the best split that will make me the most gains, considering my goals (Hypertrophy/ putting on muscle especially in my arms).

Thanks

The split is irrelevant without program details.

Don't try to invent your own workout. Just follow something like the Fierce 5 or All Pro. I've been doing it for 3 years. Avatar pic is a year old.

Get on a real program.

Canditos linear
Fierce 5
Lyle McDonald’s gbr
Awr upper Lower
All pros
Vikings

The list goes on and on…

If you are natural it doesn't matter. Time + consistency + progression = results

Watch your diet, that is what will give you the gains.

At your age and experience, there’s 0 reason to lack frequency in training.

You should be hitting the big compound movements every three or four days. So twice a week or twice in 8 days.

Mon- upper
Tuesday- lower
Wed- rest
Thursday upper
Friday lower
Sat rest
Sun rest

Is better.

Or…

Upper
Rest
Lower
Rest
Upper
Rest
Lower
Rest

Better still.


If you absolutely must split your body and be a slave to the gym, consider a 3 on, 1 off. Make sure you train all the big compounds over those three days.
