Upper/Lower Routine Help

No worries dude, and good luck.

Another possible template is Joe Defranco’s inseason program (check out WS4SB#3 on his website), another 2x/week plan.

Lifting twice a week is a great template to follow if you’ve got a lot of other training on your plate. You may be able to handle more lifting (ie, 3-4 times a week) in the short term, but will prob find you’ll need to change things up relatively often to keep your CNS/adrenals fresh. Meaning deloads, switching exercises etc. And your results will almost def be no better, not to mention potentially compromising your running/swimming/etc more than you need to.

This is not just from me, but from a lot of top strength coaches and other respect posters on these forums.

Check out Fighting Irish’s advice on the following page (he’s writing for guys who train to fight, but the advice applies to anyone who’s training for more than just for size and strength) - I hadn’t seen his post when I posted my response to you, but he plugs the Wendler 2-day a week template too.
