Split question
I’m coming off a split designed for chest growth. My back and legs were always actually strong points for me, and my chest lagged behind.
The split was:
Monday: Chest
Tuesday: Back
Wednesday: Chest
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Chest
Saturday: Back
Sunday: Rest
I’ve enjoyed this and liked the 3x a week chest focus. I want to continue this but also incorporate more legs and back. I that purposefully neglecting my legs and back was kinda pointless, because my body never really felt “too tired”.
The new split is:
Monday: chest
Tuesday: back + legs
Wednesday: chest
Thursday: back + legs
Friday: chest
Saturday: arms
Sunday: rest
I’m going to vary the legs, with Tuesday being heavy deadlifts and lighter leg presses, and then Thursday being heavy Bulgarians and lighter RDLs, so that I’m not destroying quads/hamstrings twice within 2 days.
Does this sound reasonable? I can’t think of a reason it wouldn’t be. If anyone can tweak this to be more ideal, I’d love suggestions too. Thanks!
