I don’t understand what you mean about back sessions? You do back movements in both splits.

Ah sorry, I meant “back to back” sessions. If doing FBEOD, does it prohibit doing a session one day after another.

If you are a big bodybuilder and pushing hard Ss31 as the health benefits are wild .

If not , slu , because it’s the largest overall mito influencer

Out of interest, would you say the benefits of SS31 are modest if You’re NOT a big bodybuilder?

Thanks everyone! Appreciate the quick feedback

So with U/L/R/U/L/Delts+Arms/Rest I’d programme your Lower sessions and your first Upper session with 2/3 x sets per body part (if recovery allows), but your second Upper will have to be set up in a way that allows you to train delts+arms 2 sleeps later (less sets on tricep, bicep, side and rear delt).

I don’t like the ‘sets per week’ timescale as it doesn’t account for the design of your sessions, BUT yours is a 7 day cycle so it fits.

6-8 sets per training cycle/week should be about right. You may find you can recover easily and add more or that you can’t recover and need to reevaluate.

Thanks. At that target number of sets per week I can probably incorporate everything into a simple 4 day U/L/U/L which would help avoid the need for that tweak to the program for the arms/delts.
