gym split

[pon]

i just made this, what do you guys think?
usually i can go 4/5 days a week so i thought id change my split from pplpp to u/l
i still have to do my lower routine, but i dont focus on legs that much

monday: upper1
tuesday: lower/rest
wednesday: upper2
thursday: lower/rest
friday: upper3
saturday: rest
sunday: rest probably
what would u change

 

[formidable]

do what u like in gym
stop being a slave of system u made up

No redundancy so yeah good split.

Not sure about your rep range but if you do feel like you can go for another set then go for another set. I did 1-2 sets per exercise and felt like I could do more even after doing a 6-8 rep range

2 sets 6-8 reps almost everytime

Just stick to 1 upper day routine, makes it easier to standardise and track ur progression + more consistent fatigue/recovery than you would while having 4 different versions:

This is how I'd structure an upper day (every exercise taken to 0rir):
order your exercises by muscle group then by personal priority (I personally start with back then shoulders)

Straight bar lat pulldowns 2x6-8
Chest supported upper back rows 2x6-8 (or do kelso shrugs + a rear delt isolation)
Incline Chest press 2x6-8
Chest flys 2x6-8
Cable lateral raises 2x6-8
Shoulder press of choice (machine or smith) 2x6-8
preacher curls 2x6-8
straight bar tricep pushdowns 2x6-8
JM press 2x6-8
Wrist curls 2x6-8
Neck curls 2x6-8 (additional/can do at home)

You don't have to do the exact same exercises, pick an exercise u like and get strong at it.
Form standardization and exercise familiarity are law.

i track my workouts with an app so that aint a problem, i already have my routines set up so i just press one button and go (im using hevy for anyone curious and its free).

but wouldnt it be better to have some exercise variation? like trying to hit different parts of a muscle group, for example all triceps heads instead of doing the exact same movements every session

in my opinion you should have rest days after leg day so that would probably sacrifice one of your upper days but i think id be better also make sure your only doing the top half range of motion for shoulder press. i personally do PPLRULR which i think is perfect as you get perfect rest between everything along with frequency
