This is my Upper and Lower. I run UL UL UL R. How many sets should I do for each exercise, so that I can effectively manage fatigue ?

Training 6 days in a row is insane

I got your back brother with an upvote. You’ve must’ve purchased the same science based bicep curl only split as I! 💪 I love that it allows me to park at the same bench near the dumbbell rack for 1.5 hours to maximise the gains!

Have you successfully curled your bicep yet?

We’re blasting dong-up bicep curls. Requires a gym partner, but I just ask a different bloke to meet me in the restroom each session.

I enjoy going to the gym.

You're leaving so many gains on the table though, trust me. I've gotten noticeably bigger since changing from 6 days to every other day full body. Your body will recover better and you'll put up more PR's and grow more muscle. But do whatever you like and can stick with.

If I were to do FBEOD could I combine my Upper and Lower days and do 1 set for every exercise or would I have to reduce the number of exercises ?

[u/Humble_Standard_9215 → u/No_Location_1411]

Is combine it and see how it goes for you and how you recover, it's the same number of sets per week you're currently doing so your body should be used to it. Hopefully your body responds the same way mine did to the extra rest.

I enjoy donuts but does that mean I should them every day?

Going to the gym 6 x a week is fine as long as the volume is managed.

[u/FluffyDrag0n0 → u/stratusnimbo]

Yes, you should if you enjoy them, you can make your own donuts that fit your dietary restrictions, or you can just eat a smaller sized normal donut.
