How many days a week you train? I been doing this rotation for a few months now. I train in my garage so I am limited to only the basics and there variants. Trap bar dead's, snatch grip pulls off blocks etc. I have rogue squat stands, v dip bars, ceiling mount pull up bar, over 700 pounds of plates, farmer walk handles, commerical grade adjustable bench and a set of db handles. I want to improve my yoke so I do some sort of yoke movement each session. Distance farmers, snatch grip high pulls, meadow shrugs and of course deadlift variants. Been doing snatch deadlifts off blocks, damn good lift. Also note I will be 37 next month and being the father of two little ones. I need to watch my recovery. Sleep of course is hit or miss naturally. This rotation still offers moderate frequency. The days I hit tri's, I do a lot of close grips, or dips or reverse grip bench for a indirect chest hit etc

When I was natural I trained on a eod schedule or 3x week and it worked great your routine looks great and balanced. Real smart set up here I like it looks good to me.

Thanks man! It's a great rotation has been working nicely with my schedule. Messed with gear in moderation in my early mid 20's " either omnadren/cyctahoh 250, stacked with maxigan 50 or reforvit b " only compounds used. Did the whole one bodypart a day rotation back then. Not a snowball chance in hell I could do that now, lol. IMHO, eod rotation is key for myself anymore. Plus after a workout of heavy clean and presses, v bar dips and heavy farmer walks, I am toast the following day lol

That would kill me. Sometimes I just take a day off because I can't remember the last day I had off or I will still go and hit calves or something anyway. I sometimes kind of get it in my mind to do my split, which is a 4-5 day split depending if I separate arms from chest and back days or not, do it like twice in one week to get a head a week then when I'm ahead I try to do it again alot don't know why but if I'm a week ahead then taking a day off is not as horrible

trained the same natty as enhanced. Exact same. More intensity with gear, only difference.

i had to start doing cardio and rucking/walking/running with the plate carrier on the off days...just felt like i was wasting time

I posted this in another thread, I might try this starting next week. Always been natty (unfortunately), age 49 (almost) training for 35+ years, just trying to maintain.
Plus I'll do my battle ropes and bike for conditioning... (I really need help in the conditioning part of it)... I'll try this at 4 times a week, so each bodypart would be hit once every 1.5 weeks (I think).
Math not my strong point :>) (Sorry for posting here and in my own thread, your question sparked my thought process about this)..

Eventually I will try this rotation from frank Zane's " http://ditillo2.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-growth-program-then-and-now-frank.html?m=1
I like how this is rotated and always a day off after pull and lower days. I might try this with some DC principles etc. the NOW version from that article could work very well
