Torso/Limbs

[JG1]

Anyone running this split? I've been running it like this: Torso/Off/Limbs/Off.

Hitting each muscle group every 4 days and also gives 48hrs off in between weight training sessions which is amazing for recovery.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen that split described that way lol

I personally don’t no. Need to be in the gym more than a few days a week

Was doing that but then I switched to EOD. The 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off had me hitting each muscle group once every 3 days then once every 4 days. With the EOD split, I'm traveling it every 4 days. I've found the extra rest in between weight training sessions to be well worth it. On Off days I do my cardio.

That’s not frequent enough for me or most people using gear, but if it works for you hell yeah keep rocking. If I wasn’t in an aggressive deficit I’d be doing a 6 day a week push pull legs or some version of a bro split. Make sure you’re doing cardio everyday not just on off days.

For an enhanced lifter thats not enough work. If youre on gear you need to stimulate growth and take advantage of the advanced recovery. If youre just doing hormone replacement and trying to maintain i could see it being ok i guess. I do push, pull, legs×2 with Saturdays off. Hit my core hard af after my pull days...Sometimes I feel like thats not even enough.

Hitting a muscle every 4 days isn't frequently enough for people using gear!?

Honestly bro if you’re on a gram and a half of gear, no.

PPL six days straight with one day off per week would overtrain me horribly. Been there done that. You are hitting each muscle group 2 times in 7 days. I'm hitting each muscle group 2 times in 8 days with a hell of a lot less systemic fatigue. Not sure how that's not enough work. More is not necessarily better when it comes to weight training.

And every 7 weeks I’d get an extra weeks worth of training in to your schedule. Don’t get mad man I’m just voicing my opinion. Like I said if it’s working for you then keep at it.

We can agree to disagree.

You can agree with yourself. YOU might be overtrained and fatigued on my schedule i dont doubt that a bit...ive been on this schedule or a variation of it for the last 15 years. Theres levels to this sport, ill let you decide where "Torso/Off/Limbs/off" falls in that regard. Good luck.

I’m having a great time with chest tris/ back bis / shoulders/ legs. Heavy cardio / rest days mixed in.

Seems like the old bro split seems to work pretty good for the few years I’ve been training ! But then again maybe it’s holding me back !!!
