F26 How is my gym split? TDLR: routine is down below
TDLR: Down below my idea of a new training schedule. Is this a good schedule? Please explain why it is or isn't and am I hitting every muscle enough for strength and growth?
Hey there new to this sub. I would love to know people's opinion about this. I used to be quite fit around 7 years ago. Think kickboxing with a little lifting with music in a group class.
Side question I improved IMMENSELY on my legs but I am NOT sore at all. Week 0 I could squat 30 kgs for 10 reps. Week 8 I can squat 100 for 2 reps. I thought soreness was a sign of hypertrophy so I've been told.
Now I am back into the game but never tried a "gym split". So I thought:
Lower, upper, lower, upper
But the upper days were taking so incredibly long that I started to take a look at Push Pull Legs (with legs to start because that's my fav day. Yes I'm a female, how cliché.
Here is how I thought I'd do it, since I wanna hit PPL (and a focus on core) twice a week without going 6 days a week. I rather go 4 longer sessions.
This is what I thought out:
