Hey guys thanks for coming.
I work out 6 times a week. one day I’ll do my upper body, and the next day I’ll do my lower body and i alternate between the two. so it works out to be 3 days of upper body workouts and 3 days of lower body workouts.
and friday is usually off. I also have quite a physically demanding job (lifting heavy steel and such)
I’m still a newbie and i have a few quick questions.
2x/week/muscle group or movement pattern is generally considered sufficient if you are doing an upper/lower split–so you’d only work out 4x/week–upper on Mon-Thurs, and Lower on Tues-Fri, say.
Alternatively you could go to 3x/week and do a total-body thing.
Other options are certainly possible but if you’re new I’d stick to these more tried-and-true split variations before you start straying to widely into experimental territory.
I’d bet that if you drop back to one of the methods above your gains would pick up, especially given your physically demanding job.
ahh ok, thanks for the advice dynamicfitness.
I would eat like a horse, but im trying to cut and I’m on the t-dawg 2.0 diet. but when im down to my ideal weight i will definitley keep that in mind!
