Is this split ideal?

[Vrilltrum27]

I’m 15, I’ve been working out for a little over 5 months and I enjoy working out a lot so I’ve decided to change my workout split to allow me to hit each muscle group more efficiently and to avoid rushing my workouts.

My original split was this.

Mon: Upper
Tue: Lower
Wed: Rest
Thu: Push
Fri: Pull
Sat: Rest
Sun: Rest

My new split is this.

Mon: Legs
Tue: Push
Wed: Pull
Thu: Legs
Fri: Push
Sat: Pull
Sun: Rest

My reasoning for changing my split was I felt that hitting all of the upper regions in one workout felt rushed so I believe that in switching it this will allow me to hit each muscle group twice a week while allowing more flexibility in my workouts to focus on certain muscle groups instead of doing like two bicep workouts because I feel rushed to now hit back. For other info on each of the days in the gym following my workouts I do 30 minutes of incline cardio on the treadmill at 14 incline and 2.5 speed. Let me know if you guys think this is ideal.

You could just do upper lower split 4 times per week or full body 2 or 3 times per week and repeat.

Go to near failure, but not completely to failure in the 8 to 12 or 16 to 20 rep range for 3 or 4 sets with 2 reps in reserve on your first sets. Your last set should always be harder than your first set. If you do train to failure, it should only be sometimes on your last set of an exercise. Do not take every set to failure.

I try to do 3x6 for every exercise besides ab workouts which I train till failure however I when I do my sets I make sure that 6-7 no pun intended is the max amount reps I can do for that exercise, so simply I try to make sue that on every set 6 reps is my max.

But I get what your saying about doing more with fewer days but tbh I just prefer being at the gym so I don’t mind having to spend 5-6 days a week at the gym.

Recovery and sleep is just as important as exercise. Your body will struggle to heal if you are stressing the system 6 times a week in the gym unless you are doing low resistance.

Your body only grows when you rest.

I mean I feel that I do a lot of ideal things for recovery, I use creatine about everyday which definitely helps with recovery, I’ve kinda conditioned myself with working out since I’m far more use to it than I use to be and I get usually around 9-10 hours of sleep a night which I’d say is above average sleep for my age considering most of the people my age rot on times until 1am then hit the hay.

Its retarded to train legs twice a week. 1x in 1.5 weeks is enough

 

[taylorhillfanatic]

Dont train legs at all very low Roi . Train them maybe only once a month.

Training legs is tuff bro, it’s basically a rest day.

has to be the worst comment Ive ever seen calling leg day rest day

A large amount of your bodies testosterone is held in the legs so training them is ideal for naturally maxxing out test

never said anything against it.

doing multiple leg sessions per week is actually worse than just training once a week.

 

[Vrilltrum27]

Oh gotcha but I just think training atleast each muscle group twice a week is ideal and I don’t care so much for leg growth or like appealing legs but I enjoy training legs and getting them stronger so I don’t really have anything against fitting in 2 times a week dedicated to lower. Do you think the split is good though for everything else?
