Newbie here!
The guys at my gym keep trying to get me to break my training down into specialised days: back day, shoulder and pecs day, you get the idea.
I tried it that way but i actually found i got better results by simply doing:
Upper body day
Lower body day
Rest day
Upper body day
Lower body day
Weekend rest
Doing this upper/lower split means im working the muscles twice a week rather than once. It may be less targeted but considering im a lanky newbie, I feel I need to hit the muscles twice in the week to see growth.
But the guys at the gym are telling me this is a really bad way of training and I should be doing each day given over to a muscle group.
Can you advise? I'm getting confused with all the different opinions/advice.
