depends on a lot of factors. What do you work (or do you work at all?), how is your diet etc...


Personally, i feel the best on a 4 day split, but occasionally go on a 5 day split.

Trainingwise, i haven't had any bad results from a 2 part split done 3 times a week. (ABA-style)

i always change it up so it doesn't get boring....i think it has more to do with intensity than splits or what is worked with what

right now i am doing 3 days....almost soley compound movements

thats exactly what im doing. U dont have any overlap and u can hit everything hard and heavy and give it plenty time to recover.

+ working tris after chest and bis after back saves time too, since you only have to do half as much for them. They're warm and already halfway done 8)

Personally, I've found training 3 days a week to be the best. I got this routine from Dorian Yates book and it was the rountine he used for 4 years in the lead up to his first crack at the British Championships in '86.

Basically it was a 2 day split:

Workout One

Chest
Back
Delts
Abs

Workout Two

Thighs
Hamstrings
Calves
Biceps
Triceps

Both workouts took approximately 60 mins

And the split was like this:

Week One

Monday.........Workout One
Tuesday........Rest
Wednesday....Workout Two
Thursday.......Rest
Friday...........Rest
Saturday.......Workout One
Sunday.........Rest

Week Two

Monday.........Workout Two
Tuesday........Rest
Wednesday....Rest
Thursday.......Workout One
Friday...........Rest
Saturday.......Workout Two
Sunday.........Rest

It's a brutal routine, and is both physically and mentally demanding, but the results will speak for themselves.
