Advanced 4-day Split, 5 days Cycle
With this advanced training routine you will be repeating
each muscle group once every 5 days (excluding abs). You will
be working out either 6 or 5 days a week total.
Advanced 4-day Split, 5 days Cycle routine is for you if you
like going to the gym almost every day but still need more
time to recover between muscle groups.
How often you should do it:
Start with day #1 till #4 and then take a day off. Repeat.
Duration of a session:
45 – 60 min
What weights to use:
At your last rep you should feel like
you can’t do another
one even if they paid you by the rep.
You can include some advanced techniques
like partial reps, negatives, drop-sets and so on. But keep
in mind that using these will dramatically increase your
recovery time. The risk of injuries is greater, too. The
rule is: don’t use advanced
techniques in each set.
Four-day split:
#1 Chest, Quads
#2 Back, Calves, Abs
#3 Shoulders, Hamstrings
#4 Biceps, Triceps, Abs
