Hey, I’m pretty much just beginning working out serious. I’ve been lifting serious since last October. I’ve gone from 149lbs to roughly 163. While i was in school and close to the gym i did a 5 day split body routine with basic 10-12 reps which seemed to work fine. When summer started I changed to a 5x5 workout 3 days a week since I’m further away from the gym. I went to a 5x5 because it made perfect since that i needed to bulk more than anything being as skinny as i am.
School will start back up next month so i will have access to the gym 5 days a week and i planned to go to a 5 day 5x5 split routine. I’ve been reading that as a beginner you should do full body workouts 3 times a week. I just wasn’t sure if i should change to a 3 day full body routine for a few months or if the time for that has gone and past and should just continue with a 5x5 routine to gain the most mass and strength most efficiently. Much appreciated.
