Anyone body done them? Had success or not? I was thinking of trying it but not sure if I should do it 3 or 4 times a week. I usually take a day off after every lifting day, but someone recomended the 4x a week.


3 times a week would look like this.

M: Upper
Thttp://kcsr.org/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gifff
W:Lower
Thttp://kcsr.org/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gifff
F:Upper

then the next week would be..lower,upper, lower



4 times a week would look like this.

M:Upper
T:lower
Whttp://kcsr.org/images/smilies/icon_surprised.gifff
T:Upper
F:lower

this is the way i train and have been training for years. trained up to 6 days a week, doing upper and lower each 3x week. of course its periodized training using a % of 1RM and with weeks of lower intensity and volume. I find this kind of training to yield greater results in strength and size. Especially with the legs, i think they respond well to higher frequency. also the strength gains are incredible due to increased nueral efficancy when your squatting or benching 2 to 3x week, you get to learn the movement of the exercise better
