Hey all
its that time again, to make up a new split... I was wondering, If the 4 day split or 5 day is the best to gain mass and size.on both of them is once a week for every muscle. I've noticed that that works great for me. if i do a 5 day split i would give each muscle its only day...
i was thinking of this as my new 4 day
day 1 chest/tris/abs
day 2 back,bis
day 4 legs
day5 shoulders/traaps
this is what i was thinking for a five day
day 1 chest/abs
day 2 back
day 3 rest
day 4 legs
day 4 dets/calves
day 5arms
so, which split would you guys pick as a good split to gain mass??
thanks guys

I can't agree with L.T. more.....the 5 day split is the best to pack on size. Gives plenty of recoop time. The key is really hitting whatever muscle group your on for that day...
-
day one legs
day two chest and biceps
day three back
day four shoulders and triceps
day five and six off

For pure muscle mass:
Monday.....total upper body
Wednsday.....total lower body
Friday....total upper body
next week:
Monday...total lower body
Wednsday...total upper body
Friday...total lower body
Alternate every following monday, each new week. 9 to 16 sets for lower and upper body muscle groups. Weekends were not made for working out. This is a fact that too many people learn late in life rather than when they first begin training. Good Luck.
