The best training split

[the trainer]

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.

[Lustral]

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.

[thegamechanger]

monday full-body
t rest
w rest
thursday full-body
f rest
s rest
sunday church

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

[Lustral]

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.

Sat: back/bis
Sun: chest tris
Mon: rest
Tue: legs/shoulders
Wed: back/bis
THU: chest/tris
fri: legs/shoulders

I have a theory that I can't overtrain.

[monstermunch]

I always take a day off after legs, I go to war 

You weren't there man.

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.

[the trainer]

Day 1 quads and hamstrings
Day 2 rest
Day 3 Chest and Triceps and Forearms
Day 4 rest
Day 5 Back and Biceps
Day 6 rest
Day 7 Shoulders traps neck and calves.
Day 8 rest
Day 9 repeat

Nice analogy

Exactly, willpower & planning

Day 1 quads and hamstrings
Day 2 rest
Day 3 Chest and BicepsTriceps and Forearms
Day 4 rest
Day 5 Back and Biceps
Day 6 rest
Day 7 Shoulders traps neck and calves.
Day 8 rest
Day 9 repeat

I assume you mean this.

[benchmstr]

i have always relied on 2 different types of training that ive found are the best for me

thats the key words "FOR ME"

there is no best....just see what works and actually start enjoying training...i can promise you nothing you ever read in a magazine is an optimal training program..

bench

[Simple Simon]

I just do what i feel like doing,
shoulders /arms
Chest Tris or bis or both
Back shoulders or bis tris
Back bis/tris or both
Legs on their own always

[deceiver]

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.

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