Lately I’ve been running a pretty simple upper/lower split again because it fits my schedule / recovery best. . One thing I’ve noticed though, is I feel best when I actually give myself about 3 full days before hitting the same area again. So what I’ve been experimenting with recently is: - Upper - Rest - Lower - Rest - Repeat It’s technically a little lower frequency, but honestly it’s been working really well. I feel more recovered, workouts feel better, and it’s freed up some time with everything else I’ve got going on. I’ll probably look to add a bit more walking/cardio as we get into summer, but for now this setup has been working fairly good where I'm feeling pretty fresh each time without any regressions. Also quick note, I know I haven’t been posting a ton in here, it's going to probably be like that I until I get that first course going. I do want this to be a place where you guys can share and help each other out too, so feel free to jump in, keep things positive, and keep it centered around training. Curious what kinds of splits you guys are using and more importantly, is it actually working for you?

Hey everyone! Just about to do a pull day, but I just felt like a quick bowl of oatmeal before, so thought I'd get this party started. Anybody else eat beforehand? Why/why not?? (apologies Mike if I'm jumping the gun)

This is where I’ll be organizing how I actually approach training across different tools, programming, special courses, and building a community of likeminded trainees. Most people get stuck thinking they need one “best” method. For me the goal is to combine not only what works, but also apply it in a way that’s practical and sustainable long term. Inside here I’ll be sharing: - Training ideas and setups - How I use bands, cables, sliding bench trainers, machines, and free weights together - Answers to your questions as they come up - Foster a Community 👉 Feel Free to Introduce yourself below (or on another post) and let me know what equipment you’re currently using (bands, Total Gym/sliding bench, dumbbells, etc.) That’ll help me shape what I share in here moving forward. Community Guidelines • Be respectful and encouraging. • Constructive discussion is always welcome, but personal attacks and negativity are not. • Remember that different training methods can all be effective. Keep an open mind and respect that others may have different goals, preferences, and experiences. • Share your successes, ask questions, and help others whenever you can. To get things started: Questions? Feel free to post your questions in the community. One of the best parts of this group is learning from each other's experiences, and often another member may have already solved the same problem you're facing. I'll jump into discussions and answer questions whenever I can, but I won't always be available or able to respond to every post personally. If you're looking for more individualized guidance, I'll be opening additional one-on-one consultation opportunities in the future.
