I always want to do some minor arms but after 3 hours I'm way too tired and always skip it. How can I split the volume day into 2 days?

Squats and 6-8 sets of biceps Monday, maybe a couple sets of facepulls?
Tuesday bench/deads, and 3-4 sets of triceps.

Does that work?

Wed active recovery day
Friday intensity day

do what u feel is best for a set time

swap to alternative routine. for same set time.

reflect on weight gains in lifts or bodyweight

keep diet around the same throughout

see which u felt was best

very general way to see

More so how programming works, like why 5 sets of 5 at 90% weight makes me able to lift 5lbs more 4 days after.

If you can do 5x5 @ 90% then thats too light, unless you are doing 90% of a training max (already reduced to 90%)


The texas method is essentially DUP and can be alternated

Eg - into upper volume / low volume / rest / upper intensity / lower intensity

Or if you want to maintain 3 x week, with ur precious 2nd day of active fapping but are too tired on monday volume dat and its taking 3 hours as you said, you could do:


Monday
Intensity Bench (1x3)
Volume Squat (5x5) (or whatever)
Stiff leg / deficit deadlift
Dips
Arms


Wednesday
Speed squat (light)
Speed bench (light)
Rows
Chins


Friday
Intensity squat (1x3)
Intensity dead (1x3)
Volume bench (5x5)
Leg Accessory
