Workout Splits - part 4

Now if you have 5 or 6 days per week that you can/want to dedicate to your weight training program - you are either:

1.  really serious about getting fit  OR

2.  just incredibly  bored. 

For the sake of today's post and my reputation (since I like lifting 5-6x/week), let's say the former.

Being able to commit to your weight training that amount of days means the world of workout splits is your oyster, you can do whatever program you want!

Most likely only someone that wants to significantly increase their strength, size, or atheistic will lift with this kind of frequency.

Here are some of your options:

Think about how many exercises and sets you could do if all you had to do was lift for ONE muscle group per week. This is more of a bodybuilder workout split and even though the rest between training the same muscle group is too much, this type of split can be integrated into a comprehensive workout plan.

Day 1

Day 2 

Day 3

Day 4

Day 5 

You'd do  this program  if you could train up to 6 days per week and repeat the three day cycle once

This split  can be done for a 5 OR 6 day per week program. For 5 days you would alternate which half of the body is performed first at the beginning of the week (see below) and repeat 2.5 times. For 6 days you would not need to alternate, but could for variation and repeat the 3 times throughout the week. 

Week 1

Day 1 - Lower Body

Day 2 - Upper Body

Week 2

Day 1 - Upper Body 

Day 2 - Lower Body 

This is your chance to shock your body and put different splits together in the SAME week!
