Thread: over40 Split Training days

One new addition to my training at 46y.o. is using split training days for the larger muscle groups. The intensity and overall workload of a leg day simply doesn't leave much in the tank for quality shoulder work; as an example. Similarly, I get much better results when splitting heavy back work and bi's.

While this is certainly not a new idea or a new topic, it has suddenly gained importance to me as I get a bit older.

I have noticed that the split must be long enough to recover both my nutrition (get anabolic), body, and mind (be mentally ready for heavy work). Today , it will be:

6am full leg workout ,(5 movements) most sets at 4 w/ 10 -12 reps averaging 80% of 1 rep max

7pm shoulders at 70% 1 rep max, ( 6 movements) ...etc.
