So thinking of making a 4 day split to make sure I'm not spending hours in the gym (doesn't go down well) and still make sure I'm hitting everything.

Plan is to do something Like

Monday - A
Tuesday - B
Wednesday - rest day
Thursday - 5-a-sides
Friday - C
Saturday - D
Sunday - rest day

As for sets/reps was thinking of mixing it up a bit so week 1 go 5x5 for the week then week 2 go 3x10. Just to keep it varied. Alternate these weekly.

Also once a week but different days each week (i.e once a month for A etc) through in a superset or two, again, just to mix it up a bit.

Comments welcome on what you think of this.

hey man - an upper lower split would be much better than the bodypart split you have - its very old school and there are better ways to do it

upper =
bench
rows
dips
chins
shoulder pres to finish

lower =
front squat
dead lifts
one legged stuff such as a lunge or split squat
good morning maybe o finish

Hey Neil,

Thanks for the comment, will adjust and post up a new routine soon.

Just out of curiosity what is it that makes the upper/lower superior to a body part split?

Cheers
