Upper/lower split vs push pull vs bodybuilder split

[Spliff]

@Spliff wat moves hit the shoulder girdle in a bad way

I only directly hit shoulders twice a week but I bench 3-4x/week

I used to have mild shoulder issues but that shyt stopped when I started to retract my shoulder blades on bench and 'd shoulder snap moves like weighted dips. I did bring behind the neck press back into the mix tho

I wasn't necessarily talking about specific movements when I brought up shoulder health, but aiming more towards shoulder volume and frequency.

Chest, back, shoulder, even some bicep and tricep movements work the shoulder girdle. You have to be the judge to see how much volume you can recovery from to continue to progress week to week without staling too soon. Routines like pull/push/legs/x aren't long term routines for that reason.

OK. Well for me dialing back the volume in the workout and upping the frequency of workouts has proven productive. Knock on wood no issues with injury or fatigue yet.

I guess upper/lower.

Always start the week off with legs. Then shoulders, back/biceps days in the middle of the week. Chest/triceps to end the week.

Might add in one more lower body day so I can get my DL up.

Did chest/arms/back for lunch and legs for dinner yesterday

That upper/lower life

When I get my home gym though I might go back to a push/pull/legs split on my next bulk. But I will be pushing and pulling at different times on the same day #MOREVOLUMEPLEASE.
