5 day body part split training,then a day off and repeat for me.

I always hit it five days and two off. I don't see how a full body can be effective over a long period of time.

If your hitting every muscle group hard, I dont see how one can have the energy to hit the entire body effectively.

I'm currently doing 4on/1off.

5x5 if done properly kicks ass for packing on overall size and strength, but I really do think that if you are a bodybuilder or physical looks are a priority then split training is the way to go.

If I was a sports player or just wanted to be big and strong without fussing over looks I would just do 5x5 for the most part and it's variations.
