Lately I've been having a lot of trouble putting on enough work in for all bodyparts. I went from a 4-way split to training 6x week, with one day off, but I've been getting hammered and hammered each session and usually I'm exhausted before I even get half-way through the session, not to mention powo and morning cardio which have been a pain in the ass to get done, and frankly I think cardio is getting me nowhere ( been trying to lean down)
For example: Wednesday is Legs day. If I start with hams I won't be able to do quads with enough intensity, if I start with quads I won't be able to do hams with enough intensity and so on....
I've been actually thinking about doing AM/PM sessions, that way I can cut out cardio once and for all and split up the work so I can get shit done easier. That way I can also up the frequency on bodyparts that need work.
For exemple:
Normally I'd do:
Mon: AM Chest/PM Shoulders
Tues: AM Back/PM Arms
Wed: AM Quads/ PM Hams
Thurs: Off
Fri: AM Arms/PM Calves and Abs
Sat: Chest
Sun: Back
This doesn't leave much room to a precise split (one would need to adjust the split every week to avoid overlap ). I am also thinking using a lower number of sets per bodypart because of the higher frequency to avoid overtraining.
Does anyone have any thoughts/insights/ideas ?
