Heavy and frequently? Body Part Splits? Push/Pull Splits? High Rep/High Volume? The amount of information and opinions via a Google search regarding this question is not lacking! Confusing? Yes.
So, what’s the consensus? I’m 33 years old, have been back after a very long hiatus, hitting it hard for approximately 6 months, and the more I read the more I question everything I’m doing which leads to lots of inconsistency.
I’ll go high rep/high volume six day splits for two weeks then read that I need to be doing heavy weight/low reps hitting each body part three times a week.
Then, after a couple weeks of that I’ll read that I need to be doing heavy push/pull splits so I’ll do that but then, I’ll read that I should definitely be doing full body heavy workouts 3 times a week for maximum growth!
There is just so much information! I’m already a perfectionist by nature which, if you have any experience with it, it’s actually a fairly heavy psychological burden to carry around. So what the f*** man! I don’t want to waste my time, you know? I feel like at 33, the window is closing on my ability to be as strong, fast, and healthy as I want to be. I’m a recovering alcoholic so I’m really hell bent on making the most of my “new life” and I need some direction on this journey.
