You can’t convince me otherwise. It’s objectively better.

Bro split- bruh
PPL- wtf are you doing? 6 times a week for 2 times frequency ?
Anterior posterior- shitty split with INSANE overlap.
Upper lower- this is debatable but full body is still slightly better, could vary tho.
Arnold split- shit.

I’m talking about natural guys btw, enhanced mfs can do what ever split they want with 2 times frequency and they will be fine.

Why is this subforum so dead lol
 
split is cope imo
as long as you do 2x frequency per muscle group w at least 48hr recovery time you can do whatever split you want even if natural

mainly programming is important

It’s cuz the threads don’t show up on the main page

i used to do push pull with little bit of legs at the end but i was inconsistent so i changed to fullbody3x/Week

ppl 2x week wouldn't be as bad if the demanding leg volume wasn't all at once. As an intermediate ngl im gonna do fb 3x a week, plan a mesocycle around that, or upper lower

I do FB 3 times a week instead of eod, but eod is objectively better

ok but do you do one exercise per muscle or what? cause you can do full body with just bench, squat, pull ups. is this what you mean you do eod or what do you do retard
thx

hitting a muscle group 2 more times than ppl as a natty will not give you an insane boost in results

I disagree tbh, even if the results between each split are subtle, there are still some splits that are better than others

yeah, i saw some people opt for an A/B split which A is push an B is pull with legs, so you can’t come 6 times a week and do 3 times frequency, but I think it’s too cns demanding and will fatigue it very much

you can programm it however you want. I would opt for 4 sets per muscle group per session including overlap

everybody says the exact same things, theres no disagreement at all or variation. Everyone is doing the same shit

Not really true tbh, idk if you are in the forums and in the social media and dc groups of the SBL community, but if you are you would see that they disagree about almost everything, they are finding a topic to argue about every day. They are going full circle most of the time tho.

Everyone is doing the same shit
Not really too, everyone are doing the basics (most of them are on upper lower/FB/ant/post, and on rest of the “non-basic” things they argue all the time
 
FB is too much volume in a session tbh. I can't rip 9 different exercises with proper intensity.
Weekly I do Upper, Lower, Rest, Upper, Rest, Upper, Rest.
Legs beyond moderately muscular is cope and unnecessary cns rape hence why only 1x a week
 
FB is too much volume in a session tbh.
lol it’s really not . People are so afraid of volume for some reason but as long as you program it decently you’re fine. I personally make progress even in my last exercise in FB. If you can’t program your FB correctly then it’s a skill issue it doesn’t mean it’s overwhelming…
I can't rip 9 different exercises with proper intensity.
you either don’t know what you’re doing or you specifically react worse to more volume in a single session than other people which is completely fine

Bro What :ogre:, might as well just do legs twice a week, you can get away with 7-9 sets per session on leg day which surely won’t fry your cns.

I agree that when your legs are beyond moderately muscular it becomes cope unless you’re very tall. But most people won’t have crazy legs by training them twice per week anyway.
Just do them twice per week, then when they get to a certain muscular point (in your eyes), just drop it to once per week.

IMO it’s just an excuse for you to not hit legs more than once a week lol

The latter, and I think it's mostly mental exhaustion. I just can't recruit optimal motor units in my later exercises, especially not legs.

And yeah, I could train legs twice a week, but I hit the same mental barrier training 5 days a week. It's the only way I can train upper 3x a week and being able to recover. Most people can't hit upper 3x a week and recover. Legs 1x a week I can still progressively overload, (albeit not as much as I could with 2x, sure).

And yes you're right, I don't fucking want to train legs. I have above average legs with minimal effort, who wouldn't want that?
 
Anterior Posterior with arm muscles swapped mogs.

Make sense tbh, especially if you dont enjoy doing fb you really shouldn’t do it

yeah that’s a rare case, most people have very small legs when training them once per week. Like me:feelswhy:

So posterior with biceps and anterior with triceps ?
Sounds mid but if you enjoy it then it’s fine

"Mid" and it's an upgraded version of upper lower with less emphasis on the legs... Literally the best split after fbeod (arguably even better if you can't handle the daily volume of fbeod)
 
and it's an upgraded version of upper lower
It can’t be an upgraded version of upper lower if it looks nothing like upper lower, it might work better for some but imo this split sounds boring asf

Brother it's push pull... Why would you want to dedicate a full day to legs, especially considering upper needs much more volume compared to lower

Upper body doesn’t need much more volume lol, maybe 2-3 sets more.

Some people need to maximize their legs so…

Let’s say you do for chest 2-3 sets, for back 4 sets. Side delts 1 set, you don’t need front delt if you do a pressing pattern, you also don’t need a rear delt biasing as long as you do a upper back row, bicep 1 set, tricep 2 sets, abs is optional anyway and nobody does forearms. So it’s 3+4+1+1+2+1 (if you do abs) it’s 12 sets total.

For leg day 2 sets leg extension 1 set squat pattern, 2 sets hamstrings (seated or lying), 1 set of hip hinge, 1 set of adductors, 2 sets of calves so it’s 2+1+2+1+1+2 so it’s 9 sets total.

12 for upper body and 9 for lower.

Also I know it’s not the volume for everyone but that’s kinda the average of how people programm their upper lower

Nah, if someone say to do full body with only compound then he’s retarded, you will legit see almost no gains from doing so

That's not the average of how people program their upper at all...
"Nobody does forearms" what.
"Abs is optional anyway" what.
"1 set biceps" what.
"Side delts 1 set" what.
"You don't need front delt if you do a pressing pattern" what.
"You don't need a rear delt biasing" what. (You need to hit rear delts if you do kelso shrugs, objectively the best upper back + trap exercise).

You're making up a random scenario that's biased to favour your opinion. Like what.

I don’t? Literally all the muscles you said here that someone need to hit is simply too fatiguing…. No you don’t need a front delt biased exercises unless it’s your weak point and same for rear delt. You don’t need to be a maximalist in upper lower.
"Nobody does forearms" what.
It’s useless imo if you wanna add it adds set of it MAX, if you add more than 1 set you’re retarded. Your forearms work in almost every upper body movement, you don’t need to have a single biasing exercise for it.
"Abs is optional anyway" what.
I literally added 1 set of abs there if you didn’t notice (for the total sets) so what’s your point
"1 set biceps" what.
yes? Your biceps work in every back exercise except for kelso shrugs and Keenan flaps, if you do both then maybe add 1 set of your bicep is a weakpoint of yours, no reason to do more than 1 or even 2 sets of biceps unless it’s a weak point for you
You don't need front delt if you do a pressing pattern" what.
yes? It’s that hard to comprehend what I just said?

Send me what programm you think is reasonable for u/l
 
I do pplpplrest
6 days a week it works for me well
may not for others

just do whatever gets you high quality results and can recover

But, u also gotta be ruthless with fatigue management. No junk volume

why waste time jfl
Doesn’t matter. For me personally I feel like when i train without music of my liking i just don’t train as intensive as i could if i had headphones.
I take minimum 3 minutes until my next set to maximize each set as much as i can. You might not train hard enough if you don’t need to rest at least 2 minutes between each exercise, at least imo

But if it works for you then keep going I guess

if it helps u train good then it can work
all of my lifts are 0-1 RIR like near max effort like 4-8 rep range
that’s why I can’t go longer than 1 hour

3 mins is good when ur doing legs back chest etc but for isolations u can do shorter rest no problem

Defo need high rest doing deadlifts

Dnr a few sbl videos could support everything I've stated

For UL program I'll just convert my AP split into UL just for demonstration

2 sets machine fly
2 sets incline dumbbell press
2 sets wide grip pulldowns
2 sets kelso shrugs
1 set close grip pulldowns
2 sets SA tricep extension
1 set SA overhead tricep extension
2 sets preacher curls
1 set reverse curl
2 sets machine lateral raise
1 set machine shoulder press
1 set rear delt fly
1 set ab crunch + 1 set oblique crunch
2 sets wrist curls

Lower

2 sets leg ext
2 sets leg curls
2 sets pendulum squats
2 sets sldl
2 sets machine calf raise

Like do you see the difference?????????

23 vs 10 sets

I don't even know why I'm arguing anymore if you genuinely think the lower body is anywhere near as many sets as the upper

Literally all falls into the 4-10 set per week number everyone goes by... It's an arbitrary number, dumbass, I can recover from that volume.

Can't even rebute anything I said because I'm right. "Ignorant maximalist" Huh. Am I one or are you a fat lazy cunt that wants all the results from the least amount of work possible?
