So I’ve read that all that matters is how much work you do in total and that splitting your workout up over multiple days gets about the same effect as doing everything for a muscle on a single day so long as the volume’s the same.
if say we split your chest workout for the week into two blocks, A and B. These can then be arranged in a few ways including
Plan 1
Do A followed by B on the same day
Plan 2
Do A on one day and B on another
The stuff I read that purports what’s summarised in the first paragraph suggests that plan 1 and plan 2 will get the same result so long as the volumes the same. The thing is tho that this would suggest that the ‘pre-fatiguing effect’ doing A immediately before B would have thats been preached by some other people as being very beneficial for growth, actually doesn’t affect growth.
So what’s the truth of the matter?
If say I usually go with plan 1 and then started doing plan 2 instead, should I expect to make about the same amount of gains? Or do you believe that one plan is better than the other? If so, why?
