How much lifting is too much?
I have barely left DYEL mode, but I'm afraid I might be liften to often, with too long session.
Currently I lift for 3 days, and rest for 1..
current program is
Day 1 - Chest
Day 2 - Leg
Day 3 - Back/Shoulder
Day 4 - rest
Repeat
I mainly hit 8 ( 5-8 ) reps for 3 sets on each exercise
I lift for probally 1 1/2 - 2 hours pr session
according to other pre-designed programs I find on the internet, I have way too many exercises.. Does it make much of a difference? it's currently working for me, but I think I'm losing some potential gains..
any thoughts?
as an example,
Day 1 - Chest i do following exercises :
Incline dumbbell press
Flat barbell press
flat bench A-press
BFR flies supersetted with pullovers
Weighted dips
and then 2-3 triceps isolation exercises, sometimes a little biceps
If you're doing 3 days on 3 days off, do push pull legs or you will develop serious shoulder impingement and need physical therapy.
Otherwise, I recommend you get a better routine with lower volume per muscle group per workout and greater frequency. Starting strength worked for me, but is questionably a meme. If I had to do it all over again I'd do Jason blaha's icf 5x5

So you're suggestion both 5x5 and something from Jason Blaha, doesn't get more meme
I'm doing 3 days on, and 1 day off..
I'm considering PPL, I've been looking at several routines

If you're doing 3 days on 3 days off, do a fullbody,
you're still dyel
My current stats
Bench - 225
Squat - 300
Deadlift - 375
it's still just 1 day off
