    training five days verses 3 on and 2

    about a month ago i switched training five days a week rather than training mon wed fri
    whats better
    i hit bis on mon
    back on tues
    chest on wed
    tris on thurs
    legs and shoulders on fri
    sat and sun off

    should i switch it up to
    bis on mon
    back on tues
    chest on wed
    off on thurs
    tris on fri
    legs and shoulders on sat
    off on sun

    a lot of people talk about goin five in a row is too much but i know cats that go six in a row so what do u think

    try it out and see what happens. for myself, that would lead to tendinitis in a few weeks. might be excellent for you though. give it 4 or 5 weeks and then recalibrate if you have to. good luck.

    I'd have to say those 'cats' are over doing it

    bi's shouldn't be done before back, back uses bi's quite a lot indirectly

    nothing should be done the same day as legs

    chest shoulders and tri's should be spaced apart

    Its all about what works for you. I am training 5 on 2 off right now because it is my only option with work. It isnt my prefered training method but I dont see a bit difference in gains or anything. Fact is your body works on hmeostasis, if you do anything long enough it will get used it it, so dont worry too much man.

    My split:
    Monday: Quads/hams
    Tuesday: Bis/tris
    Wednesday: Delts/calves
    Thursday: Back/traps
    Friday: Pecs/calves
