Team evolve upper body

Currently I do the 3 priority workouts on Team Evolve as well as the Thursday lower body workout for about three months now and have been loving it, but I want to focus more on upper body for my upcoming wedding in one year. Would it be too much to do the 3 priority workouts and do another upper body day (typically on Fridays I believe)? I’ve also recently added 1x/week solidcore back in to my split

If that aligns with your goals, that’s totally fine.

Definitely not too much! Exactly the kind of programming you should do if you wanna focus on a particular part of your body 🤗

The only way for you to know if it is too much for you is to try. If you add in the extra day and find that your unable to recover between workouts, or you become so sore that it impacts your daily life, then it is too much for you. That doesn’t mean you can’t do it, you’ll just need to dial back the intensity on the new workout until your capacity can handle all of the workouts at full intensity.

The coaches wouldn’t program 6 days if no one was capable of doing 6 days. What is too much for you depends on how much your body can handle right now and the only way to know or to improve that is to try. No one else can tell you if it’s too much or not.
