Upper/Lower want to try new routine for more growth

chainsaw

Well-known member
I am on a basic 4 day workout Back, Shoulder/bi, Chest/Tri, Legs

I am interested in a upper/lower split. Experience of what routine worked for you?
 
I'm a fan of upper/lower. Though I'm
a powerlifter, it's still benefitted me in adding muscle.

Example

Lower-
Deadlift
Front Squat
Hamstring

Upper
Bench
Row
Assistance

Lower
Squat
Good Morning's
Lunges

Upper
Overhead Press
Row variant/pull-ups

I am with Sean and even though I too train for strength or more of a 1RM, the compound exercises and frequency of training can be used the same for mass & BBing, >(using a 5x5 say or higher rep set/schemes) hitting the legs, hips, back, chest and shoulders 2x per week. Lately I have used a 3x per but much of my training was 4 a week splits. See Wendler's Triumvirate.
My preference was more...
Day 1 Squat focus/ legs, hips, back
Day 2 Chest (focus) Shoulders, arms
Day 3 off'
Day 4 Deadlift focus/ legs, hips, back
Day 5 Shoulders (focus) Chest, arms

Throwing in some other iso and ab or grip work at the end of the big movements.
