    Hi mate

    What have you been doing to date? Do you have any gauge on how that volume will work for you?

    I’d probably add a hip thrust into Lower B.

    Hey rich I have been doing ppl rest to date, slightly higher volume

    Ye end of sessions are hard , getting really fucking big , is hard. That’s why you don’t see many do it , as they feel a smidge of fatigue and think something is wrong . With this split you run as is for 4-5 months , then do a stint of the stuff at the back end at the start. You need the frequency , and PPL is dead volume you don’t need , so just suck it up and do the work . Also , in don’t know a single person with any actual muscle who trains much under 2 hours . If you ask ANYone with muscle , it’s going to be 1.45-2 hours , so again , if you actually want to look legit , suck it up . There will defo be people telling you that’s too long to train , they will also have no muscle

    Noted, what are your thoughts on adding an arm day after the 2nd lower day? For additional arm stimulus

    I am also looking to add an arm day and would like some thoughts of taking the biceps off lower B, then running the split as upper, lower rest, upper lower arms. I simply enjoy arm days

    1 exercise 2-4 working sets to failure is all you need there for quality volume & efficiency

    2 exercises added just for bicep means likely 8/9 movements for entire session it can get too lengthy for most

    Where abouts would you put a hammer curl variation on the upper lower split? If I am to do just one variation at the start of lower?

    Do them before legs

    Would I also include them in pull or solely on legs?

    It depends how soon you’re training after eating. You want something that digests well and fuels your session.

    Something like Cream of Rice, Whey, berries and coconut oil would be perfect,

    I am training about an hour after eating
