2 or 3 day split?

[laxmel2]

I am currently reading arnolds encylopedia, he recomends getting in the gym 6 days a week and i love that idea. I am a hardhainer (ectomorph). what do you think will beinfit me more a 3 day split such as- Day 1- back, chest. Day 2 - shoulders, arms. Day 3- thighs, calves, lower back. or a 2 day split which i like because im working the muscles once more a week, like this Day 1- chest,back,thighs calves. Day 2- shoulders, lower back, arms. the 3 day split is repeated twice a week and the 2 day three times a week. has any hardgainer out there had any sucess with one more than the other?

Im a semi-hardgainer myself and what i found to work best is: push, pull, legs. with one or two days of active recovery.

go 2 day. you should get more out of your workouts b/c of the guilt of only lifting 2wice a week. gotta change after 10+ weeks. look at the top 5 lifting routines stiky

I think he wants to lift each bodypart 3 times a week. If you are a hardgainer it is either because you have less than average recovery, are not eating enough, or are overtraining. If you work each bodypart with a volume style 3 times a week you are never going to gain weight.
