Upper/Lower question! Please Help!

[Cantell]

Ok, so I have heard people do a 4 day a week scheduele like this:

Monday=upper
tuesday=lower
wednesday=OFF
thursday=upper
friday=lower
sat=OFF
sun=OFF


However, for me it seems like to much if I workout 2 days in a row. I have also heard its good to take a day off, after a day of training. Dont know it this it true? SO, I was thinking what if you just went everyother day with the Upper/Lower priciple. ex:

Monday=upper
tuesday=OFF
wednesday=lower
thursaday=OFF
friday=upper
saturday=OFF
sunday=lower

Monday=OFF
tuesday=upper
wednesday=OFF
thursday=lower
friday=off
saturday=Upper


basically going upper/lower everyother day so you get a day of rest everyworkout? Anyone done this? Is it a good idea?



sorry I posted this another place, and relized it wasnt the right place!

Don't forget that by working out upper/lower 2x per week, you should cut your per workout volume in half compared to the standard 1x per week BB split.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with working out every other day, if that's what it takes for you to be able to push hard the next workout.

Looks solid, though I would substitute the iso lifts w/ compound lifts. Like SLDLs for leg curls, close grip chins for curls, etc.

Its not really, "if I can push hard" cause I could probably everyday, however, I thought your body needed a day off after a workout day to repair
