how do you guys feel with doing splits?
I've been doing upper body day followed by lower body and core then repeat with one day off.
Am I training too much or should incorporate more rest days?
I prefer full body for my current life schedule. it might change later you never know! It's just what suits you best :)
Sometimes when I'm really busy I do splits, but I prefer full body workouts. The way I do splits is pretty much train everyday and have one rest day a week, which if I got right you're doing the same. And that's fine and how you should do splits. You can also do them like one day Push & Pull, other day Legs & Core, third day rest, just make sure your splits turn out to be a full body workout at least twice a week (all muscle groups twice a week).
Yeah that's what I've been doing a push and pull and then legs and core. For legs and core I like to do 15-20mins of Jump rope before my main workout. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't over doing it. Thanks, gilgor
Nah it's completely fine, I know a guy that trains 3 times a day for a few years straight and has a great body, that's more like overkill so your schedule is more than fine. I do exactly the same you do with the jump rope as well haha, well sometimes with push & pull sometimes with legs & core, depending.. :)
Hey :-)
i think your split is fine :-) and you can answer your question very easily by yourself :-D! just listen to your body, if you feel tired, work out with less energy, than there might be a chance of loading to much weight on your shoulders but i do not see anything wrong when everything works out good,
There are too many factors that could determine which split is best for you (goals, lagging body parts, strengths) but at the moment I'm using a push pull leg split because it allows you to train for function (not just individually)
