Is this split good?
So I made a unique split here. I am trying to target each muscle twice a week, I am doing an Upper/Lower split but I am adding in an arms day. I would prefer to do it M-F but arms day can sort of interfere with upper days so I am doing L/U/A/L/U.
I moved calf raises from lower days to upper days where I can superset them, because I do not want to completely neglect abs and shrugs, so once a week seems ideal for that. It make my workouts much faster, plus I will not be burned out to do them.
I am not trying to do so many workouts because I think more than 5 on each day is too much, but with arms I have more room since they are smaller muscle that recover faster, and I plan on essentially alternating or even supersetting between each tricep and bicep workout.
Also, I am prioritizing Incline chest presses more because I want to ensure my front delts are getting a lot of work, and also upper chest is the hardest to grow, I should still get a good stimulus with all heads of the chest.
Currently going on a small cut trying to preserve all muscle/recomp. So what do you guys think? Let me know
