Go Leafs 11 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 On 11/11/2020 at 4:54 PM, Alex said: There's no such things as a proper split, but essentially all scientific research points towards hitting muscle groups two, maybe three times a week. Nothing wrong with a back/bi day, chest/tri etc regardless of how long they've been training, and it's likely better to get people set up with a well structured split from day one. The most important thing is the recovery period between working a muscle group, and setting up what @Mk 17 referred to as a "proper split" will (almost) always garner better results. The volume per muscle group is too low, and the frequency is too high to see real progress if you're hitting things every day. I'm not arguing against structure. I personally value frequency over volume (in a single day) and I agree with hitting muscle groups 3 times a week. It's hard to do that when you have a push/pull/leg split though. I don't think its worth for a beginner to be on a push/pull/leg immediately. It's better for a beginner to build work capacity and enjoy their best year of gains in a program that values frequency over intensity. Then after a year or so, they can evaluate and see what areas require work. That's when the push/pull/leg split comes in and you build out your program. I can give you a wall of text here but all I want to say is frequency is the parameter I value the most. Structure/splits are awesome, especially when it aligns with a person's goals. I just had a miscommunication with MK/Inf but we are super chill now lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howl 945 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 What are some short-medium term goals everyone has? (thinking 3-6 months) I'd like to get my splits for 10-12 mile runs back down to ~7:15-7:30. Also hoping to go back down to pre-pandemic weight, so probably losing 4-5 lbs. Not a lot I know, but enough to make me feel a little better. Quote don't be the third whale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
