Training 6 days per week?

Bang that **** out bro. 6x
 
I trained 6 days per years ago.
Here is the question however... Do you feel "more" in this situation, is better?
I don't think there is anything at all wrong with stints of high frequency 6x per, but as a caveat, training more at times replaces training hard or harder.
Most can get killer W/O's and hit there best potential by 4x per, letting the body have 3 days of either rest or some active rest, (like biking basketball etc. etc. on off days.
Edit:
As far as PH's, I would say steer clear and go as far as you can natty, you might be surprised.
 
I've done that routine in the past and it worked well. Just make sure you are getting ample nutrition and rest. I might actually try it again this "off season" at least for a month or two just to give my body a shock!

Push pull legs repeat, off.

Or I may do a 5 day split with 1 day dedicated to deadlifts and calfs.

Been working out for the latter

Looks solid my man. I'm also running a halo cycle and was previously doing a chesttri/backbi/legshoulder split six days a week. I decided to go with Layne Nortons PHAT Routine since i've gotten good results on it before. I like the idea of the deadlift calf day just be careful later on cause the lower back pumps are a btch and the calf pumps are unbearable on my last cycle I couldn't even run a a mile without keeling over they are some serious ****. I feel like on cycle is the only time I can actually get my calves to grow
 
I am in a hypertrophy block and using a 2 x push-pull-legs split. The microcycle requires 6 total training days with high volume on one major movement followed by 2-3 ancillary movements per day. Below are the days and the respected major movements:Incline DB PressBent Over or Chest supported rowSquatStrict standing pressPull upsGood morningI have been going by feel. Some times I will train 4-5 days in a row before a rest day, others it may be 1-2 days before requiring a rest day.

So your splitting each pull and push with horizontal and vertical movements?

Can you give an example of your push days?

Thanks

Sure. I try to super set each exercise with either a mobility or core movement.

Day 1:
Incline DB Press, sessions 1-2: 8 x 10, sessions 3-4 8 x 8, sessions 5-6: 6 x 6
Lateral Raise, sessions 1-2: 5 x 12, sessions 3-4: 5 x 10, sessions 5-6: 5 x 8
Lying triceps extension, sessions 1-2: 3 x 10, sessions 3-4: 3 x 8, sessions 5-6: 3 x 6

Day 2 (follows same periodization scheme)
Standing press
Flat DB Fly
Triceps Press

I'm having a hard time understanding that..are you really doing 50+ sets???

That is correct. This is a work capacity and hypertrophy dominated block.I should have been more specific. I am working up in weight on the primary movement to a rep max, and then working back down. So the first few sets are working, but sub-maximal, and there is only 1 set to failure on the primary movement. In example, 10 rep day of incline DB was something like:85, 90, 95, 100, 105, 105, 105, 95, 90
 
If you are taking Halodrol, make the most of it. Hit it up 6 times a week, eat lots and clean and get your sleep in.

This. On halo your recovery will be much faster than normal as well. You really shouldnt have any issues doing this. Like others have said, listen to your body that will be the best indicator if you are pushing too hard.
 
asking if 6 days is too much is like asking which girl is hotter, but not showing us a pic of either one.

to answer you also need to know what exercises, how many reps, how many sets, what intensity level, how long you have been lifting, whats your conditioning like, how is your sleep patterns, how stressful is your life, what are your test levels, and the list can go on.

some things are obvious on what most people can handle. like if someone asks if doing 20 sets of 10 of squats at 75% is too much, hell ya. i dont care who you are and what juice you are on that is too much.
