Me too. I hate splitting my body apart. I went back to Full body EOD and will run with that for the time being. For each session I have a focus area so one day I will hammer back and chest, the next legs, etc, with a set to total failure (Mike Metzner style) but still hit the whole body

[@limitisillusion7]

Don't do it. Home gyms are a trap. You can't stop buying stuff. I got sick of buying stuff and decided to just get a gym membership. Kinda best of both worlds. My advice is to buy a rack, barbell, plates, bench, and adjustable dumbbells, and as soon as you feel like you want plate loaded machines, trap specialty bars, or cables machines, go get a gym membership.

[@alinatarkhanian]

I've done the PPL and upper/lower splits and they were ok. I've just started doing a full body split and it's my favorite so far. I never have that "F%ck, it's leg day" moment. Plus, if I miss a workout, I still hit full body with my remaining workout days.

[@Classicalliberal85]

I've tried full body but I would always try to go hard on the first movement that I would be fatigued for the rest of it

[@KayButtonJay]

I love full body every other day. The key is just cycling through what you start with so you hit that the hardest. Then you run through everything else with some fatigue but you’re still getting volume. Over time your body will adapt and it’ll get easier to progressive overload even when somewhat fatigued. Plus fatigue isn’t even a terrible thing. It gets you close to failure.

[@limitisillusion7]

The more muscles worked in one workout, the more I like the split. I can't be bothered with 12 sets of chest in one workout. Give me 3-5 sets and move on to something else. I usually switch between upper/lower full body.

[@Clickinqq]

How much time does a session take? I also do full body and I can't find myself hitting all of the muscles without being in the gym for like 3 hours

[@AdNLB]

@@ClickinqqYou don’t need to hit every muscle group every day, just over the course of a week you make sure you’ve hit everything. I’m seeing pretty good results doing 5 exercises a session 6x a week. Am in the gym for on average 45 minutes.

[@strider5474]

i did learn a lot and got hard a lot. Thanks Dr. Mike!

[@shaunzero]

Sometimes starting a new routine and changing things up can increase how sore you feel, so soreness may not be a good indicator in those scenarios. For example, I recently started training upper body 3x a week instead of 2x and having 1 rest day in between sessions instead of 2, and during the first couple of weeks I was really sore on the second and third upper sessions, but then I started to adapt to it and don't get as sore anymore. I run upper body 3x a week and lower 2x. I take the weekends off for convenience and added recovery between each week. Sun: Rest Mon: Upper Tuesday: Lower Wed: Upper Thurs: Lower Fri: Upper Sat: rest (or legs/core for added volume if I'm bored)

[@Crokto]

i think that issue gets resolved by starting a program with just 1 or 2 sets per exercise, and increasing it as you go based on how quickly youre recovering

[@j0rtje]

I love the Day 1: Lower body, Day 2: Upper body, Day 3 and 4: Rest. Day 5: Full body, Day 6 and 7: Rest Split. This makes it possible to hit your entire body twice a week. (for example Saturday and Sunday and again on Wednesday works perfect if you are a busy guy/young parent or whatever.

[@dnserror89]

​@@antiwufei553source? It's widely known that hitting a muscle 2x a week is great/best for hypertrophy.

[@stopthecap4317]

Would full body just be the lower and upper body back to back or a simplified version of each (such as removing some exercises)?

[@joshuasinlao4164]

sounds great I will try this split

[@j0rtje]

@@stopthecap4317 remove some of the exercises. In your lower and upper body sessions you probably have some compound lifts + a few isolation exercises. Just do the compounds on the full body day and be reasonable with this... Go a bit ligher for a bit higher reps. Doing 4-5 compounds heavy will be a really long and really hard training session

[@ButtmanAtHeart]

[@gergofulop2713]

Dr Mike. Thank you very much for your videos, I learned a lot since Im watching them. A video about how you can implement hypertrophy with crossfit would be really helpfull

[@SkarrGaming]

I've been playing around with a push / pull split (legs are intergrated into these 2 so there is no day for just doing legs). You can do push workout one day and then pull the next day or have a day off inbetween each seasion. I find it's a good alternative to a upper / lower split.

[@Crokto]

I do this! full body push pull, rest, push pull, 2xrest. heavy compounds on the first 2 days, isolaterals and isolations on the second 2. I'm really liking it

[@adammiller9179]

Yes, one day Legs with Push. 2nd half of week Legs with Pull.

[@Crokto]

@@adammiller9179 why not do pushing leg exercises with your push days and pulling leg exercises with your pull days? since there's overlap between stuff like some rowing exercises and deadlifts, i find doing them on the same day helps avoid overlapping fatigue

[@snorkcin]

Has Dr.Mike ever talked about how to incorporate accessory volume after compounds for total sets? IE how much max volume for biceps if you already train back a lot.

[@Ganjora]

Hi Mike! I absolutely love your vids! So clear and educational, based on scientific data instead of bulshit! I would like to ckon your oppinion about Calistenics. I stated two years ago and I love it. Im 51, and I achieved an onlympic muscle up and handstand.

[@EnigmaticAnamoly]

I'm genuinely surprised that Arnold's olympia split and how he "technically" worked his arms two days in a row (via all the compound pressing and pulling movements on chest/back day) doesn't get talked about more often. I've been doing that split lately and it has been a lot of fun. Took a couple weeks to get the body adjusted to hitting arms and shoulders a day after chest and back but it was worth it. I do way fewer sets than Arnold did and take more rest days but I still don't think it will be sustainable - but for now, its doing the trick lol. I will say there are days where my arms feel a smidge too fatigued from pressing and pulling to really go "all out" on arm day.

So at least I have that, which is nice.

[@loganflatt]

Nice Caddyshack reference 😂

[@chriss3801]

I think a cool feature for the app would be to include the recomeneded rep range for each movement. I.e. squats 8 to 10 leg extensions 20 to 30 etc as a generalization to better estimate where to go with RIR

[@KootBear]

thats a good idea

[@maxschmidt9461]

True, though the cadence makes a huge difference, I can do a set of 15 or 25 at the same weight with the same RPE and both are very effective, but one is pretty explosive with a controlled, but quick eccentric, the other is pushing the weight up without significant momentum and digging into that muscle on a slow eccentric where you can almost feel the individual muscle fiber. Neither one is wrong, both have their place but rep ranges change drastically even though it's both adequate for a given movement, so either you need to also time sets or just test how many reps you can get with good, but not purposely slowed down reps

[@chriss3801]

I agree, I'm more so coming from the perspective that when I do leg press I can do 8 reps at a higher weight to give me an RIR of 2 but when I do less weight and about 15 reps for an RIR of 2 my pump is significantly better. I wish there was some generalized guidelines to help narrow that down fast all though I know it is individual for everyone

[@josho.9530]

The app does that via rep targets after the first/second week of a meso.

[@chriss3801]

​@josho.9530 really? I've had it adjust some, but never going from 8-10 to 15-20 maybe I'm just inputting the feedback wrong

[@aka_funkychicken]

Here’s my modified bro split for those wanting higher than once per week frequency but still like to focus on one muscle per day. Each session has a primary muscle. This day is to hit that muscle hard. You do a fairly high volume for that muscle (10+ sets) and do all of its work first. Then onto the secondary muscle for less volume, maybe half to 2/3 of what you do on its primary day. Muscles get 4-5 days off after primary work and 3-4 days off after secondary work. Do 2-3 days on and then a day off. This will work out to hit everything twice over about a ten day period, but everything still gets it’s own focused day. Chest/Shoulders Back/Triceps Quads/Hams Shoulders/Biceps Triceps/Chest Hams/Back Biceps/Quads

[@aka_funkychicken]

@@antiwufei553 I’m not blindly following anything, this is what I’ve come up with for myself through my own experience and years of training. I didn’t say more frequency is better or worse. You can say it’s irrelevant and scientifically that may be true but there’s still going to be individual variance within a study. People respond differently. People need to try out things for themselves and find out. I’m not even really sure what your point is or what I’m my comment triggered you so much. I just shared my own split, that certainly is not taken blindly from dr Mike or anyone else, I’ve literally not seen it anywhere ever.

Amazing video as always

[@MAG_--]

I have COPD, Which changes fiber type at least in the legs to 2x muscle fiber (seemingly less severely in deltoids in one study) And I train fairly close to 1RM. I've noted that even 3 sets of the 6 basic compound movements with free weights (aside from kneeling pulldowns) actually is tiring me out. So I switched to a machine day with some isolation in between free weight Monday, Friday. I just really can't squat and good morning 3 times a week. Even with low sets. But I feel like these heavy loads are training towards my muscle fiber composition. My dropoff is comical even with sufficient rest. Though I have blown up. That literature isn't settled I take it

few tips to help design a split Recovery. It's important to recover between sessions. If you're doing a four- or six-day routine and don't recover a body part before it's time to train it again, lower your volume per session or switch to a program with more rest between training the same muscle

[@outlawjoseywales6159]

I always get ssooo excited for your videos.....In a manly kinda way.

[@Jordan.levesque]

I’ve switched to a rather fluid split where I get my full body in usually within 2 days. Every week I hit each muscle group at least twice. It’ll look something like this: Mon: legs/shoulders Tuesday: (soccer) Wednesday: back/chest/arms Thursday: legs Friday: back/chest/shoulder Sat: legs/arms If I don’t feel like a certain exercise one day, I’ll throw it on to the next day. And I record everything so I make sure I haven’t missed anything throughout the week. Typically each muscle group is getting 2 or 3 exercises with 4-5 sets per exercise each day it’s trained. So between 10 and 15 sets per week. Because I’m not overdoing it each day, I’m only ever a little sore and usually recovered on the second day, ready to train that day again. I enjoy leg day far more this way too. Which is good as I’m rehabbing my legs after knee surgery.

Hi dr Mike, big fan, about to return to gym after some time and trying to be serious about lifting but I'm note sure what to focus on. I'm kinda fat with a bit of mobility issues (deep squat, touching toes etc.) affecting ROM and was wondering if this is something I should work on first or start hypertrophy training and work on it along the way. There are some people that say you shouldn't barbell squat if you can't deep goblet squat with 45lbs dumbbell.

the best split is clearly the 8 day: Mon - arms & shoulders Tue - chest & back Wed - shoulders & arms Thursday - back and chest Friday - arms and shoulders Saturday - chest and back Sunday - shoulders and arms Monday - back and chest Tuesday - arms and shoulder etc..

I'm no body builder and more just focusing on not falling apart as I age... But also just trying to fit things in to my schedule. I've settled on doing upper/lower on Saturday/Sunday and then full body Wednesday. I'm sure that will change again if my schedule changes or just life im general changes but right now I'm running at about the minimum I can while having it fit schedules.

They are the same thing. Be a bodybuilder so you got something left for the time when sarcopenia eats you Alive

I am watching this video with headphones in a corner in my room exactly in central Mexico.

Monday to Friday is 4 days rest, but then Friday to Monday is only 3. Exactly like your suggestion of Monday-Thursday (3 then 4). It's pretty symmetrical.

Dr. Mike! I've been doing your Thor workout since the end of December and have been digging it, and it's working. How would you grade that plan in terms of your split criteria here?
