Hello everyone! I was wondering if a split (dave palumbo higher intensity concept) or an upper lower routine is better for a mass gain phase. I was told that an upper lower split is better because a muscle only grows 2-3 days after training and it only makes sense to hit it 2x per week. But I personally think that when you train with a split and hit each muscle group with 3-4 exercises (opposed to upper/lower where each muscle group gets 1-2 exercises) it will take longer than than to recover. I also think that a split is better for a bb'er because the muscle can be hit from several angles in one session. I'm just curious to hear what you guys think is best.
Sincerely,
James
P.S., I have made great gains in the past 1 1/2 years (over 40 lbs. of lean muscle as well as some fat gains) using a training split and a very clean diet. I'm just wondering if my gains would be even better using an upper/lower split?
