So here is the example:
M: Chest/Shoulders AM............Triceps PM
T: Back/Traps AM...........Biceps/Rear Delts PM
W: Quads/Calves AM........Hams/Abs PM
The routine would be PPL,PPL, Rest style..
Most people tend to do the routine all in one go, but I did something a little off last night in terms of training (not on purpose). I hit all my legs in 1 gym session, then I had to go to work for a few hours (3-4) and I ate some small snacks along the way, but then I came back to the gym and hit Abs/Obliques straight off the bat. I noticed that I was able to push SO MUCH harder and for the first time my abs felt so much pain that I was shocked.
I've noticed that on a PPL split, the muscles hit during the first 40-45 minutes are pretty solid and then slowly ur energy/intensity just begins to drop and when u get past the hour 10 minutes mark and ur left with triceps for example. U can still push heavy weight and get them to grow, but seems like the intensity is not there as good as it was earlier just because of how long u been there for.
This routine opts for higher freq twice per week, but also for optimal intensity and solid pump for each muscle being trained Fresh almost. Any thoughts on this? Would Love Zilla to chime in.
PS: I've always noticed it's the guys that have "arm days" that tend to have some of the biggest arms around...
