This is my split the ammount of sets for each muscle Group are below the workout
I was also wondering if i really needed a A and B workout or if i could repeat 3 days Without hurting gains
No as you can see i have A and B days but for example i i Just wanted to use the A split only and completely throw out the B days/split would this Have effect on my gains or would a little change do good for the gains Hope you kinda understand it dunno how to explain otherwise
I don’t understand … An “A, B” program would have two training days that you alternate through 3-4 days a week. You have a push day, pull day, and leg day so it would technically be an “A, B, C.” Though I’m still not sure what your question is?
Well first off ignore what I said…it was a knee jerk statement. Been seeing allot of posted routines with huge amount volume in them per session and I just skimmed what you posted and overlooked a few things.
Regarding the notion of preventing over training by not exceeding 6-9 sets per Body part is …( insert any negative word you like)
Someone giving a general guideline like that isnt taking allot in consideration regarding those sets.
Exercise tolerance for the individual
Intensity of each set be it perceived or % of a 1 Rm
Experience level of the individual
Actual exercise selected.
5.Strength Level of the individual
Not to mention a few other factors im not going too bore you with.
Understand being Overtrained is a accumulative state where athletes over do it either by intensity or volume or both, dont fully recover from previous session . Then turn around and push it hard again and slowly start wearing down their system. In reality this takes time and not just a week or two
IMO… Over training has gotten over blown slightly on the internet. Most guys think they over trained, when they are just under recovering slightly.
Honestly cant answer that for you… I dont know enough about you training wise to make a informative opinion. Also understand I have a bias and like to minimize as much as I can in my own programming.
Personally, for myself that is , i would tweak a few things. Drop a few things maybe combine parts of days .
But the bottom line if your recovering from session and seeing progress performance wise its good.
