Most of the more enduring strength routines, such as Westside Barbell or 531 are all based on upperlower splits. The only real downsides to this sort of split are Lack of specialization for very advanced or competing bodybuilders. Some might have an issue with the time in between upper body sessions Some of the biggest advantages of training like this are that you have to most balanced routine as far as training the legs as much as the upper body. Even with the fabulous pushpulllegs split, you still devote only 13 of your training to legs. Another thing is that you have the option of hitting each bodypart twice a week should you choose to train 4x a week. Some Examples of UpperLower Splits. Two of the most popular upper lower splits are Lyle Mc. Donalds Generic Bulking Routine and Dante Trudels Doggcrapp training. Lyle Mc. Donalds Generic Bulking Routine is a classic approach that combines strength with hypertrophy, using compound movements with a moderate overall volume per session and reps that fall in the middle between training for strength and for size. According to Mc. Donald, the routine is trying to strike a volume between the issues of frequency for gene expression and protein synthesis, recovery failure training can burn people out and progression I want to see the poundages going up consistently over the cycle.

As far as volume, if you are an older trainer or do not have the recovery, he recommends to cut the volume back to 2 3. X6 8 and 1 2. X1. MWF week 1 upper MonFri, lower Wed and week 2 lower MonFri, upper Wed, thus A B A, B A B etc. One thing that Mc. Donald argues that makes this routine so effective for both gene expression and protein synthesis is that each muscle group is hit every 5th day, which is optimum. The big advantage that this routine over the one below is that it is a heck of a lot easier on the nervous system and also, the idea of training the biceps with upper body makes more sense than it does in DC training, where he has you do biceps with lower body. Dogg. Crapp Training. Dante Trudels routine uses a similar split, with some differences, the key ones being extreme fascial stretching and using rest pause. It is really a program for advanced trainers. Beginners and intermediates will do better on Lyle Mc. Donalds generic bulking routine. DC training hits each bodypart with more frequency than the average once a week bodypart split, but uses less volume, with only one max set per each exercise. The key principles of DC training are. Maximal weights. Multiple set rest pausing, with 2 3 drop sets on the final, heavy set per bodypart. Low volume higher frequency, hitting each bodypart every fifth day. Extreme fascial stretching. Carb restriction. Low intensity cardio. High protein diet with between 1. Dual factor blasting and cruising phases. Dual factor cycling is also built into the routine with blast intensification for 6 1. In the first phase you essentially go all out, which is very hard on the nervous system and then deload for two weeks to allow for recovery. Trudel has you pick three of your best compound exercises for each bodypart and cycle between them through each workout, doing a different one of each of the 3 exercises youve chosen per workout. Workout three times a week in A B A, B A B fashion. The structure of the split is Workout Achestshoulderstricepsback width chins, pull downsback thickness rows, rack deadlifts.

FWIW, Mentzer wasnt the first to speak of rest pause, Peary Rader talked about rest pause training in one of his Iron Man editorials in the late 4. It is essentially a way of training beyond failure with weights about 8. How To Unzip Exe Files. RM like this. Set 1 x 6 reps. Rack the weight or lockout and rest 1. Set 2 x 4 reps. Rack the weight or lockout and rest 1. Set 3 x 3 reps. Extreme Stretching. After each rest pause set you perform a weighted stretch for each muscle group with resistance for a minute or so, ie, using a heavy dumbbell held behind the head in the bottom position of a dumbbell extension, after doing triceps or holding a heavy pair of dumbbells in a fly position after hitting chest. It hurts and its brutally effective for recovery and stretching the thick fascia that surrounds the muscle, arguably allowing it more room to grow inside it. For What its Worth. I have made the best gains on these sorts of upper lower splits, going back and forth between them 4x a week and push pull legs 3 4x a week.
