I live in sheffield so Scotlands a right mission, if i'm ever up your way though id be well up for a session. Billy seems really keen to get a session in with you so i'm sure he'll be back to you, I wouldn't advice going pure gym though, if it's anything like the one round here it's a pain to get on anything in the weight area.

That zach king khan has just opened a gym in sheff I think, guy looks ridiculous! but I think it's invite only.

 

You could always modify the routine I suggested to make it fit 4 days:

Monday - Upper Strength
Tuesday - Lower Strength
Wednesday - Off
Thursday - Upper Hypertrophy
Friday - Lower Hypertrophy
Saturday - Off
Sunday - Off

I personally think that will do more for your progression at the stage you're at :good

Note: You'd obviously have to drop the volume per body part on the hypertrophy days from what I originally suggested though.

 

Cheers, I most likely will do the split you've posted above. My mate does the same and he's making great strength gains. I have my own aims as far as strength goes and I won't be cutting until I meet them. 5 days in the gym has just gotten a bit much, its been great for the last two months but with my gym being so far away it takes up too much of my time.

 

Yeah, definitely need to find balance mate.

 

yeh he looks a complete beast, didn't even know he was from sheff. The gym i'm at now has more than you could ever want, really just a great gym. Switching from the sports center to a proper gym really has helped me a lot.

 

I'm not Lefty you moron
Maybe more than one person thinks you look ****.. because you do
Stop trying to prove yourself, learn to love yourself

 

For muscle growth he'd want more volume would't he?

 

Na you can definitely get enough volume on an upper/lower, the key is just not having redundant exercises choices in there. You've also got the benefit of the higher frequency.

I believe Lyle McDonald's generic training routine is also some variation of an upper/lower. I believe he also said between 2-8 sets per muscle group is sufficient under the aforementioned frequency. The way I've approached that in the past is simply picking a core movement and then picking an 'accessory' movement on the non-strength 'upper' days for each body part (e.g dumbell presses & incline flyes).

 

Scroll to the top of the page and look at your picture. Anybody can see that you're porky pig with no pecs and a receding hairline. That gaunt fella has bigger pics than you :rofl:rofl
Have you ever ****ed a girl? I'm serious.

 

You look smooth alright :rofl:rofl:rofl

 

A quick poll, would anybody actually want to look like this guy?
