3 Way Split v. 4 Way Split

[downunder hunter]

What about an upper/lower split?

Upper twice and lower twice in a week. My personal favorite way to train.

This sounds good to me, 4 working days a week and 72 hours rest for each mucle group. one day on/one off right?

Can you give me an example of an upper workout and lower workout?

Which do you guys prefer, and why?

I was doing a 3 way split, working out 4 days a week, but I had shoulders and chest on the same day and I wanted to break those two up because it was a hard fuckin day. So i wanted to do a 4 way split like this.. chest/tri - legs - shoulder - back/bi
Question is, I don't know if I should keep working out at 4 times a week, or kick it up to 5 or 6 since I won't be working out those muscles as often. Maybe I should just kick up the intensity a lot to compensate for the extra rest?

What do you guys think?

This^^^^^^^

You say it's working for you, so why change it? Wait until it stops working. If you feel you need to do more, crank up the intensity (weight).

Personally, I like a 2 way split, much like SL said where every bodypart is hit twice in a week (8 days really).
