Hello, my name is Taylor, and I have a fitness question. I Love wightlifting, and have been doing it faithfully for three years. I am currently 19 years old, male, about 140 lbs, at about 5 feet 8 inches, and seeking to bulk up while staying lean. My question is this: Is it possibly to construct a 6 day workout split? I ask because I know that you are suppose to give muscles proper recovery time. Obviously with 6 day splits, you only get one day off per week, so it would need to be carefully engineered to isolate specific muscles so others can grow. I really love being in the gym, and would workout 7 days if I knew it was healthy. Off days are hard for me because of this, so i figured a program for me would be to have as few of them as I can get away with. What do you think? also, is fasted cardio catabolic, or should it be done with some food in me? These are my biggest concerns, and any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
A good 6 day split might be:
Mondays and and Thurdays
Chest, Shoulders and Triceps
Tuedays and Fridays
Back, Biceps and Abs
Wednesadys and Saturdays
Thighs, Hamstrings and Calves
At 5'8" and 140 doing cardio is going to hold back your muscle gains, stay lean by eating clean.
