Ok guys i'm thinking about changing my workout routine into either any variation of Phil Hernon's routine or Big Beyond Belief.
I have/will eat 4000 calories per day (haven't eaten much or trained for a week, battling a throat infection, but i hope i'm fresh and recovered come monday)
I sleep about 6-8 hours a night
Focusing on mass gain, weighing about 205lbs atm
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Phil Hernon's routine: 3 sets per bodypart, 5/10/15 reps, 3x a week comes in two variations
6 days a week
Days 1,3,5 - Chest - Back - Bicep - Calf
Days 2,4,6 - Shoulders - triceps - quads - abs
3 days on, 1 day off
Day 1 - Chest/back width/back thickness/calves
Day 2 - Legs/abs
Day 3 - Shoulders/biceps/triceps
Day 4 - off
Repeat
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Beyond Belief : Level One Training 4x a week version
Monday: Back, Chest, Biceps, Calves
Tuesday: Delts, Triceps, Thighs, Abs
Thursday:Back, Chest, Thighs, Delts, Calves, Biceps, Triceps
Saturday: Thighs, Chest, Back, Delts, Calves, Triceps, Biceps
Sets per bodypart changes throughout the training cycle, but ranging from 3 to 5 sets per session. Delts and Arms being the exception, ranging from 1 to 3 sets per session
Reps are different depending on which day and week, same as rest
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally i think BBB seems a bit complicated after reading the e-book, and i think Phil Hernon's routine would be easier for me to focus on progressive overload with.
People seem to have gotten great results on both of these regimen's, so i'm a bit torn about which one i should choose.
Which routine would you recommend me doing based on the info i've given you (as far as nutrition and sleep goes, since i guess that impacts recovery ability)
