      As the title states how often do you train a week?

      For gaining size do y'all prefer 3 day splits or 5 days a week?

      I usually get four days but I've been trying to get back to five days per week. I currently do chest/bis, back/traps, shoulders/tris and legs. Calves are done every other training day. The biggest thing is to eat for your training. The more you train the more you need to eat and that is the rub.

      I def get big strength bursts when I inadvertently take a few days off in a row... I have no doubt 4 days a week would likely be better for gains but the fact of the matter is when I do t train I get moody and antsy. I need the stress relief haha

      6 day split on this cycle and most of my others. i just change up what parts i hit 2x per week every 12 wks. i also know my body well enough to back off if i am injured or not recovering. i also try to squeeze in at least 2 cardios and up to 4 per week as well with my training. looks like this right now:

      legs
      chest/delts/light tris maybe cardio
      back/light bis maybe eccentric less cardio
      legs maybe eccentric less cardio
      chest/delts/light tris cardio
      back/light bis cardio
      off
      repeat

      I stopped doing my arms on their own every week it's helped them grow more. I'll train 4 days one week then 5 days. I try to switch it up more than I used to.
