Recovery split

[Warpath]

I have a pretty demanding schedule and am trying to optimize a workout split for maximum gains. I tried a five on one off for a few months and it tore the hell out of me. I was thinking maybe a three on one off split would work best. At this point in my life lean muscle is my main goal. I can only manage 6 to 7 hrs of sleep a day, but have decent nutrition and supplements. Input would be much appreciated.

What does your routine look like now? It's kind of hard to recommend anything w/o knowing how you are training currently. By the way, consider yourself lucky that you can get that much sleep a night. That's plenty bro. I get 1/2 that if I'm lucky.

2 on 1 off on a four body part split
3on 1off on a 5 body part split


Also take into consideration that recovery is greatly inhanced on weekend when you can sleep and eat so I recommned not to train both weekend days, it might seem counterintuitive but get the most healing you can on the weekend when you can sleep the most

Ok, I'll try the 3 on one off split.
