Been looking for a while on 9-Day splits, can’t really find much - maybe it’s not called a 9-Day split?! I’ve tried a bunch of splits but I love the 9-day the most. By 9-Day I mean the following:
Day 1, Chest
Day 2, Back
Day 3, Rest
Day 4, Tris
Day 5, Bis
Day 6, Rest
Day 7, Shoulders
Day 8, Legs
Day 9, Rest
I used this split during my bulk and fell in love with it. Learned it from my partner in Iraq who was huge, but I cant really find any info on it. What do you guys think about a 9-day versus 3-day or 6-day? Know any links for more info I can’t find any?
