Whats your split, and why?

[will-turb]

atm i'm doing

 

Pull

rest

Push

Abs/Legs

Arms

Rest

Legs/Abs  

 

Push/pull because it simply makes sense

 

Arm day because they are a focus 

 

Two Leg/ab days because ive pretty much gone 2 years without training them and its starting to look stupid

 

[Brendyn]

More abs! You can literally do them everyday

[DeltaPapa]

Cant go to the gym until i join uni (in 2 weeks)

 

but mine hopefully/should be exactly the same as yours.

 

Everything that lacks on mine you've got doubled up on  (legs, abs and arms)

[Rihana Pm Me]

for hypertrophy:

chest/tris

back bi's

shoulders/calves

quads/hams

 

sometimes forearms when i feel like it. i dont schedule rest days

 

do the good ol upper/lower split every couple months.

 

then usually once a week ina strength day with just compound barbell exercises incline or flat bench,military press, barbell row.

 

kinda pointless to train for hypertrophy 6-7 days a week if ur not on dat dere cell tech

i'm no expert but i'm pretty sure that you can mix hypertrophy and str into the same workout. I usually start off with 10-12 reps, move weight up, then do 6-8 reps, then on my 3rd set do a really high weight for something like 2-4 reps. I only just started bulking again but im guna see if this rep range increases my strength

man, my arms are so bad. And having bad arms basically means you have a shit physique. Like in the gym i'll have bigger shoulders/chest/back than most guys but then some curl bro will just come along and imo they'll look bigger than me just because of the arms. During this bulk i'm gunna go rich piana on these mother fuckers(minus the celltech); high calorie day, 2 hour workout, monster 1000cal protein shake afterwards, preworkout, bcaas all kinds of useless natty supplements.

ye i dont rlly like doing strength rep ranges but its better than doing nothing and i can almost convince myself that doing low reps gives you denser harder muscle l[]l

[Ikz]

chest/tris, back/bis/shoulders, legs. repeat. 

 

just comfortable split for me.

back/bis/shoulders all on the same day, wow lol never heard of that before

[Uaex-Ali]

Always after the end of whatever workout go and do some abs work out 

[Tris]

Currently Push/Pull/Legs with abs on leg day and HIIT after push and pull.  One or two rest days a week depending on how I'm feeling.

[k or as i]

cut to the chase:

 

back/chest

bi/tri

legs

back

bi/tri

shoulders/calves/forearms/

[Dog]

chest/tris, back/bis/shoulders, legs. repeat. 

 

just comfortable split for me. 

You may as well do push/pull/legs if ur gonna do that.. put front and side delts with chest/tris and put rear delts and traps with back

 

OT: i do chest and tris, back and bis, shoulders and legs.. and sometimes if i feel like it i go and just do arms.. might go back to push/pull/legs dunno

Everyone should hit forearms imo, i was an idiot and listened to that dickhead scooby who said only people who have been lifting for 3+ years should hit forearms, now i do forearms/grip every other day for like 30 mins, 

[Tris]

I do forearms/grip with pull.

 

Behind the back curls, reverse curls, wrist curls.

same i bought one of those grip strengtheners  

 

 

guna do bare reps on it while i walk home from the gym

[Mucky]

Before I was plagued with injuries

 

Push

Hip dominant legs

Pull

Quad dominant legs

Plyometrics

 

it was football orientated so now that the season is over and once i'm healthy it will be

 

Chest/tris

Legs

Back

Shoulders

Legs

You reckon they will help? I remember having some when i was like 12. I've also got one of those powerballs

and found it didnt rly help. My grip is so shit. I dunno how grip is measured but a 14 year old could probably squeeze harder then me.

[Dog]

you rly shouldnt need to do forearm exercises if youre doing heavy rows, shrugs and deadlifts

[Tris]

I cannot do anything heavy atm mate :(

Yeah i'm sure it will help, it goes from 10kg to 40kg and it only costs 8 quid including shipping. It will help with heavy lifts so i don't need to a pussy like dog and use wrist straps, plus if you ever get challenged to an arm wrestle, grip strength is more important than any other muscle group

[will-turb]

says the pussy who uses wrist straps

 

jk, ur like a endomorph so i'm sure you have naturally decent wrists and grip strength, us ectomorphs have piss weak joints, i can fit my hand around my wrist with ease. Because such a small frame isn't used to added mass, it puts strain on the joints i had to take xtreme measures to rehabilitate my ankle joints because i ran for like 10 minutes lol

you should do your hiit on leg day instead of pull day. even though it'll b hell it'll give your legs at least a day to recover and you wont b hitting legs 5-6 days of the week
