I've been utilizing this split for longer then I can remember. For some reason I always come back to it it's just work for me over the years as well just my two cents.
 
Yesterday's eats. I didn't purposely keep carbs lower....just kinda fell that way.

i don't wanna hear you complain about carbs or holding water, no more :nono:


LOL on the terry crews pic..dude is a trip (and beast)
 
Yeah I can't bitch any more lol. The whole time I was eating I knew I was going to regret it.

Getting some great rest in today though. Slept from 930pm to 530am this morning. Then a nap from 9-11. Then ANOTHER nap from 3-630. Suck on that bitches

I just take a slin shot before eating a 6" from there. Seems to work for me.

Hicken fried chicken... You should have just gotten the two chicken patties with burger in middle.

Oh I slammed some Slinshot today for sure. I don't like eating like that though. I always feel like garbage the rest of the day.
 
You do you like slin shot? You always make me feel like my diet is so dirty! Haha.

Absolutely love it. I never took a GDA before and decide on Slinshot because it's a Purus product to be honest. Taken before a carb meal I don't get any bloat hardly unless I really over do the carbs. I started taking it at night and I wake up feeling super lean most of the time also. Also it gives some amazing pumps after carbs lol. This is a pic after one Slinshot and about 30g of carbs from oatmeal just sitting around at home before training.

Stomach like an iron boiler! 8 Max Pump?!
 
intersting..first guy i think to take all 8 at once
i would think logistically it would be better to split dosing up, but could be splitting hairs here

Decided to take snags split advice.

Chest
Legs
Shoulders
Back
Arms

Rest days will be thrown in when I feel the need for them.

I'd say that's solid. I prefer it this way, helps when life gets in the way. Makes it very easy to be a little more flexible.

Yeah hitting legs with arms and chest made the sessions to long. This will be much better I think.
 
I never felt the need to have a shoulder day... between back, chest, etc you are hitting them all the time. Do some OH press as assistance for your chest and some shoulder flys on back day, and that's all ya really need. That's just me though.
 
I like to focus on side and rear delts mainly for my shoulder day with some tweaking on fronts. Can never have too much side and rear delts :)

What if you're a shrug addict?

Well reason number 1 is when I do solo shoulder days, my shoulders suffer and then the rest go down hill from over working. I do a ton of rows in my back splits so that may be the issue. I incorporate a lot of shoulders into back, as I see the rear and mid delts as "back" and front delts as "chest" because that's when you typically recruit them.

2 - I lift the big 4 (according to 5-3-1) so shoulders are only assistance anyways, right now.

3- I feel like hitting shoulders on a day, would be like hitting hip flexors, abductors, and adductors on a day by themselves. If your shoulders need work, by all means give them the attention. I don't believe in a 1 split fits all guys. You have to tailor it to your body and goals. I got to the point where my shoulders and body are making my bis/tris look tiny. I can't keep growing out of proportion right? LOL.

So nothing wrong with a shoulder day, I was just throwin out my 2 cents which is probably worth less than that!

shrugs are traps, no? I shrug on my DL day if I need to, though I don't really need much more trap work at the moment.

Rows!!!!!! Hahaha. Upright rows, bent over rows, DB rows, meadows, T bar. I like doing some "chainsaw" rows and bend over reverse flys as well on my back day. I feel like a nice strict Lat PD will hit the shoulders very nicely as well. I admit I will throw some extra shoulder stuff in but not more than once or twice a month. It really does come down to what you need to work on. I know guys who will only do Bi's once or twice a month.
 
Today's food. Finished the night with 1/2 cup egg beaters, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2tbsp Nat pb, 2 scoops matrix blended with 6oz water. Mmmmmmmmm......btw Muscle Brownies are awesome.

So is college, lol. You'd think they would feed me good. They make up for it with quantity. Some days it's good I won't lie. Too many carbs though. Not enough good protein sources.
 
Ok bitches time to kick it up a gear. Will be going heavy the next couple weeks and substituting some different lifts here and there. Basically maximizing overall weight moved during sessions since I've been on the higher end of 8-12 reps the last couple months. First time doing some of these exercises in a while so next session weights will probably go up again. MAX PUMP and IGNITE pre workout.
