One of the best ways to train is with an upper lower split or with a push pull leg split. And again, if you were to do a push pull legs, I would, I would then have to have you include your shoulders along with your chest and triceps there. Because it's your only shot in that week to do your shoulder work. And again, as a pushing muscle, it would go on the same day. So Monday, what do I do Monday?

So you could do push there, right? But my one caveat to a push-pull legs is that it tends to be a lot, right? Like you're doing... shoulders, chest, triceps. Some people don't like that amount of volume, right?

Yeah. So push is just the muscles who share a similar function of pushing. So if you look at a bench press, it's pushing the weight away from you is the concentric action that you're doing. If I looked at a lat pull down, I'm pulling the weight towards me. That's the concentric part of it. If I'm doing a bicep curl, I'm pulling it towards me. Triceps, shoulders, chest, everything is pushing.

I'm pushing away this way, pushing away that way. Push up, I'm pushing away from the ground. Tricep push downs, it's in the name itself. I'm pushing down through a tricep push down. I'm doing tricep lying extensions. I'm pushing the weight away. they would all go on a similar day. Again, I like the function of that because it's optimal recovery.

So why that's good if you could tolerate, and I'm asking if that's okay for you to do that because you're not naturally adding shoulders in. If you were okay with adding shoulders in, then you would do your push workout. And then what I would do is

know that I'm getting enough recovery in between workouts because I could give you a day off in terms of weight training on Tuesday, come back and do Wednesday legs, right? So Monday, I'm just doing push upper body. Yeah, just push upper body. Okay, Tuesday, you're going to give me the day off. Tuesday, you get the day off. Yeah. I'm going to give you two variations of this. Okay.

I'm going to give you two variations of this. Okay.

And when I say day off, if you were with me, you'd be doing conditioning. All right. So we'll get into that, but that, but it would be, yeah, it's not a day off. No, you give me seven days. I'll take, I'll take a ball seven, even if I'm just doing ab work on some, but you, you then on Wednesday would come back and do your, your leg workout. And what leg workout am I doing on Wednesday?

So it's gonna be anterior, posterior. So I'm gonna train your hamstrings, your glutes, and your quads. Everything will get done together. Thursday, you'd have another day off. Again, likely not a day off, some conditioning. And then the Friday could be your pull workout. Now what's nice about that is if you are somebody that doesn't recover as well as others,

And this is not everybody, but that gives you a really good amount of recovery between those workouts. If you could tolerate more than that, the first step I would do is add a total body workout one more time. So I could come back on Saturday and add a total body workout. It would just be a little bit light on the pole because you just did that. Probably did it the day before.

So my whole body on Saturday? You could do it. When I mean like, I would pick very big compound movements that are representative of including as many muscles as possible at one time.
