Is this a good split for a intermediate/advanced lifter?

1.Chest + back
2.Shoulders + arms
3.Legs + abs
4.Rest
5.Push
6.Pull
7.Legs + abs
8.Rest ,
Repeat
And cardio 2-3x a week

@nmfrye This is the split I’ve been doing changing from just PPL to help focus arms and shoulders a little more I really like it

Personally I only do 2 sets until failure with high weight around a 4-8 rep range with long length partials to really push the sets very fun! seeing very good progress aswell!

 

[nmfrye]

@angelaballentine Do your muscles rest enough? Is it taxing?

 

[angelaballentine]

@nmfrye I honestly have a better recovery doing only 2 sets until failure

More strength gains also

@nmfrye I feel like chest + back is a lot of volume for one day. But it depends how many sets etc you’re doing !

 

[nmfrye]

@artofmcw I'd do 4 exercises each most likely superset most, 3-4 sets per exercise.

 

[artofmcw]

@nmfrye Is there any reason why you wouldn’t give them their own designated day ? I just see that on the second half of your week you’re doing PPL.

 

[nmfrye]

@artofmcw Yeah so its a mix of arnold split and ppl. I did ppl all the time I was training and i wanna mix it up a bit.

 

[artofmcw]

@nmfrye Oh okay! That’s fair
