Critique my split please!! Dang 25 characters

[louman]

Alright so due to my lower back I'm not on a train legs for at least 4 weeks. I was thinking of a new split and I came up with this. Now I know it's not ideal to train shoulders/arms after back/chest but die to schedule I can't make it to gym on tues/thurs

Fri- chest/back (strength)
Sat- shoulders/arms (strength)
Sun- abs/cardio
Mon- chest/back (hypertrophy)
Tues- rest
Wed- shoulders/arms (hypertrophy)
Thurs-rest

Legs will be replaced with cardio for. Few weeks to let the lower back rest. Strength days will be 5-8 reps. Hypertrophy days are 6-15. Diff exercise for each.

Once

Should probably be in the training forum bud.

 

[louman]

Oh shit thought I did. Can I move it or does a mod have to?

First off I two suggestions for you on how to make this split a little better...

1) your worried about having shoulders and arms too close to chest/back days... what you could do to fix that is switch the hypertrophy and strength days like ..

Fri- chest/back (strength)
Sat- shoulders/arms (hypertrophy)
Sun- abs/cardio
Mon- chest/back (hypertrophy)
Tues- rest
Wed- shoulders/arms (strength)
Thurs-rest

or

Fri- chest/back (hypertrophty)
Sat- shoulders/arms (hypertrophy)
Sun- abs/cardio
Mon- chest/back(strength)
Tues- rest
Wed- shoulders/arms (strength)
Thurs-rest

the first option switches a shoulder strength day after chest/back hypertrophy, and hypertrophy shoulder - after strength chest/back
the second option switches hypertrophy and strength days so there is a day break between strength days rather then hypertrophy

my second suggestion is to turn it into a 4 day and not have these confusing strength/hypertrophy days... personally i don't understand the reasoning behind strength/hypertrophy days mixed that closely in a split.... If i personally was concerned about strength and also hypertrophy my ideal split would be focusing on one aspect for 4-6 weeks, then switching to the next for 4-6...

Fri- shoulders
Sat- bicep/tricep
Sun- abs/cardio (this counts as a nother rest day
Mon- chest
Tues- rest
Wed- back Or have your most taxing day placed here.... so you have a day to recover before and after...
Thurs-rest

by moving your abs/cardio day to where its at your rest days are pretty equally split throughout the week and id use the rest day after every larger muscle groups like you see i've done

That's a good suggestion. I was pretty much doing the split you proposed but I want to switch to more frequenxy and hit each muscle twice per week for next 4 weeks

I used to hit everything 2x per week.. and i personally stopped about 2 months ago?

I've noticed way more gains with less frequency but my intensity is always the same...

more recovery time = bigger, stronger, faster

 

[Megatron28]

Lou: please use the correct forums. This is not about AAS. I have moved it.

Yes I agree but I wanna hit more frequency for a it them go back to once per week.
Of course when I do more freq I do less per workout so in the end the amount is almost the same

Thank you! I'm sorry I thought i put it in training but muscle memory probably for the best of me. I'll be more careful in future

 

[louman]

Anybody else have any input?

 

[louman]

Alright thanks for all the input. I'm gonna take ur advice and turn it into a 4 day split. However I'm gonna change the order up as I want to hit chest before shoulders and arms. My week is starting on Friday as i rested until today Becasue of all the less I've been on for my back.
