Title: The best training split
Post by: the trainer on August 03, 2014, 10:57:01 AM
Out of all the training splits available the best one is the one day on one day off system, train hard rest the next day then go hard again the following day, there is no better training split available.

maybe for some, but some of us have lives and obligations that we have to schedule around.

You can't make a blanket statement like that. It's not true for everyone.

Does your priest not give you a full body at church?

I train when I can, when I'm reasonably rested and no overlap of muscles trained. That's four times a week at the moment but if I have to drive to a customer to make money or mind my kid some day or night that takes priority.

@monstermunch he gives him a facial so as not to interfere with the body he abuses

depends on your goals and what your training for. elaborate on how your preffered training split is best for everyone.

Shouldn't life be scheduled around bodybuilding-related activities?

Who among us has not done this at some stage. Figuring out that this is folly is the bodybuilding equivalent of finding out santa doesn't exist.

Nothing is more important than going to the gym to train and get your meals in, its very simple wake up early in the morning and get to the gym that way you have the rest of the day to do your stuff and you wont miss a workout.

Do you know how I know that your training sucks, cause you train legs and shoulders together, if you really hammer your quads, hamstrings and calves properly you would have no energy left to train shoulders, you need to learn how to workout properly.

Day 1 quads and hamstrings

Full body workout for me every day. Squat, bench, some power clean, some bullshit for triceps/delts, upper back and sometimes deadlift and I'm done.

It will keep you in shape but its not the best way to workout you could get better results with a better program.

I will start taking your advice after August 6.

Day1 Legs
Day2 Shoulders/arms
Day3 rest
Day4 Chest/back
Day5 rest
Repeat

Exercises don't repeat until the third go around.  Change it up every three or four months.

That's a classic split used by so many.  I had my best results using this split.

Chest and arms

Legs

Back and Delts

Having said that I mix it up a lot. No reason to do the same thing over and over again.

Are you lifting heavy weights with all that running or using moderate weights? I have always had trouble with lifting if I run too much. For me there is no such thing as going for a hard 5 mile run then coming back in the gym later for heavy deep squats.

the key here is to replace squats with leg extensions

Fairly heavy, and always incorporate big compound exercises. Need about 2-3 big meals in between and good to go.  Albeit my "big meals" are kale and ahi.
