Could going to the gym 6 times a week be affecting my performance?
So for the last few years I've been going to the gym 6 times a week, and I'm not really happy with the results, but I know my biggest problem is in the dieting department. Anyways in the summer there's weeks where I don't go to the gym because of holidays and such , and everytime I get back, those first workouts give me the greatest pumps and make me feel super bigger than I was before, now this could be phycological, but I was wondering if anyone has felt a benefit changing from 6 to 4 times a week. It also would free up some time for study's cause I got a lock in on that
Edit: I am currently on a cut: 125-150 g of chicken breast + 100-150g of pasta for lunch and dinner. 1 shake of water 1scoop of protein and creatine + 1 black coffee in the afternoon before gym. Also 1 fruit per meal, could be a banana, a peach etc. Now this ain't super strict, everytime I go hang out with my friends I don't follow this, so I'd say around 2-3 meals per week are not count properly. At the start I weighed 75Kg, currently around 69kg, lost a little bit of strength, which its probably because of my inconsistencies with the gym and diet during summer. Im 182cm tall. Been going to the gym for around 4-5 years. Split: Monday : chest and back Tuesday: arms and shoulders Wednesday: legs and abs Thursday: chest and triceps Friday : back and biceps Saturday: shoulders (Abs I hit once every 2 days) It's a weird split but since I like both Arnold and ppl this is what I came up with.
