I lift 4 days a week 2on, 1off, 2on, 2off, hitting each muscle once a week directly.

Works great for me and what I plan to use most of the time, although I will do 3x a week fullbody from time to time and other ish. Never know what my trainings gonna be like. It's constantly evolving.

If I was on AAS, I'm guessing I'd workout 6on, 1off hitting each bodypart 2x a week and using a little more volume and intensity than I can handle naturally. That's best guess as I haven't used AAS, but even on 1-AD my recovery was faster than normal so I can only guess what it would be like on AAS.

Lift for 5 , take 2 off and do some cardio on those days off

I'm getting old, so 1 day of hard training followed by a day of cardio and ab work gets the job done great for me!

What does your training schedule look like with this rotation? And, are you trying to add more mass or fine tune what you have?

What does your training schedule look like with this rotation? And, are you trying to add more mass or fine tune what you have?

For example:

Day 1 - Upper Legs (focus on either Hams or Quads)
Day 2 - Cardio (20 min high intensity) & Abs
Day 3 - Back & Biceps
Day 4 - Cardio (20 min high intensity) & Abs
Day 5 - Chest & Triceps
Day 6 - Cardio (20 min high intensity) & Abs
Day 7 - Shoulders & Calves

I use this approach for lean mass gaining or initial cutting. I will change up somewhat when serious contest prep begins. Doing this I can have an all out balls to the wall workout and then have more of rest day implementing cardio the following day while keeping bodyfat lower and cardio activity up all at the same time.

I like 5 to 6 days a week. I have a strained out bicep head so I hit most everything only once a week.
Monday - chest
Tuesday - back
Wednesday - legs
Thursday - shoulders
Friday - arms

Saturday or Sunday I try to get in and hit legs again.

Few more questions: What does your carb/fat/protein (in g/lb) look like while doing this & has the cardio affected leg growth? Are you doing cardio on regular training days as well?
