Then I repeat each day once more then rest on Saturday.
I eat carbs (fruit) in the morning and PWO and that’s it otherwise healthy fats and protein. I have only been in a mass phase for a little less than 3 weeks now.[/quote]
Now there are lots of different ways to train, so I’m not saying that 6 days a week can’t work for some. But that is alot of work, particularly as you repeat it and therefore have 2 lots of all the big moves (squats, deads, benches etc) in each week. You’re young so your recoverys prob pretty good, but this still may not be the optimal way for you to train to put on mass.
I was a bit confused by you saying 6 days and then listing that you do m,t,w repeat and then have Sat off. Did you mean that you do m,t,w rpt and then have Sun off?? or do you train 5 days, 1 off??
Do you perform the exes in this order? I find it hard to see how you would be able to give a good intensity for deadlifts after you’ve done 3 chest exes then chins and rows first.
Anyway, you say you’ve just started this prog, what were you doing before? it obviously gave you some results. If you’re keen on doing a split prog, I’d suggest looking at some of Thibs progs.
