Ok, so I have heard people do a 4 day a week scheduele like this:

Monday=upper
tuesday=lower
wednesday=OFF
thursday=upper
friday=lower
sat=OFF
sun=OFF


However, for me it seems like to much if I workout 2 days in a row. I have also heard its good to take a day off, after a day of training. Dont know it this it true? SO, I was thinking what if you just went everyother day with the Upper/Lower priciple. ex:

Monday=upper
tuesday=OFF
wednesday=lower
thursaday=OFF
friday=upper
saturday=OFF
sunday=lower

Monday=OFF
tuesday=upper
wednesday=OFF
thursday=lower
friday=off
saturday=Upper


basically going upper/lower everyother day so you get a day of rest everyworkout? Anyone done this? Is it a good idea?



sorry I posted this another place, and relized it wasnt the right place!
 
Don't forget that by working out upper/lower 2x per week, you should cut your per workout volume in half compared to the standard 1x per week BB split.

Other than that, I see nothing wrong with working out every other day, if that's what it takes for you to be able to push hard the next workout.
 
well, what do you think about the first way? Goin monday/tuesday then thurday/friday?


heres my routine as of now...

Looks solid, though I would substitute the iso lifts w/ compound lifts. Like SLDLs for leg curls, close grip chins for curls, etc.
 
Its not really, "if I can push hard" cause I could probably everyday, however, I thought your body needed a day off after a workout day to repair
