Hi Kuba,

Massive fan, thanks so much for all you do.

I was hoping to get your opinion on something if possible.

I am a 37-year-old lifestyle bodybuilder, 186lbs, not a professional nor aspiring to be, but have the goal of adding 30lbs of lean tissue onto my frame by the time I am 40 years old.

I have fallen in love in recent years (with lots of inspiration from yourself and Jordan) with dialing in my day to day and loving every minute of the process. I had been running a push/legs/pull/rest split for quite some time, and it became obvious that I wasn’t recovering well enough with this split. Between a full-time career, and two very young kids, I did not have the recovery capacity to progress my lifts consistently each session.

I was apprehensive at first, because psychologically I just love being in the gym, but chose to consolidate to an upper/rest/lower/rest approach. I did not change any of my exercises, just simply consolidated them. This allows for 4 training days throughout the week and 3 rest days. I have found this to be incredibly beneficial. My lifts are strong and fresh each session and I absolutely love this split.

Apologies for this being long winded but here comes the question; recently having consumed a ton of Jordan’s content I am feeling the urge to change things to his recommended full body split (full body/rest) approach. I am curious if you feel this would be a good move based on my situation, or do I stick with my beloved current split? Any recommendations/advice you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Current split (upper/rest/lower/rest)

Upper: calve raises, EZ bar skull crusher, DB lateral raise, DB shrugs, chest supported row, SM incline bench press, barbell forearm curl

Lower: calve raises, leg press/SM squat, deficit RDL, leg extension, seated leg curl, forearm curl

Again, thank you for all you do. You are my inspiration when everyone else around me is taking the easy way…
