+ 1 A 4-Day split I found and like so far

So I was looking to change up my routine a little and get away from straight heavy lifts week in and week out. I came across this 4-Day split on basskiller
http://www.basskilleronline.com/4day_training.html
Currently I run it - Monday Tuesday Thursday Friday
It's nice that way I get a day off mid week and I have off on the weekends. At first I was skeptical. Didn't seem like a lot of work but once I passed week 1 and got into the routine I started liking it. I just finished week 4 and I plan on completing the entire program. It gives you flexibility in your exercises. I chose different ones each week but I do keep basic in their (I.e. Bench and squat). I've been leaning more towards incline bench recently.
Check it out and see what u think.

This is Leo Costa's Big Beyond Belief. I'm currently doing the 2x of day, 6x a week routine. Works real well for me except for Thighs. Also check out his Titan Training. BBB is serious growth 3 and Titan training is serious growth 4. There are all free pdf's online. Let me know if you can't find them.
AnonSounds good I made it to the end of ramp 2 in this routine and I'm done with it. I saw some small improvements but not crazy. Then it started getting old the way it was set up and I keep intensity as high as possible so hitting thighs basically every work out was putting a strain on my knees... So I'm movin on. It was a great change up from what I had been doing so it gave my body a break in some aspects. Now I'm ready for something different.
I checked it out and I'm a little mixed on it. It looks like you are hitting your major muscle groups three out of the four days (am I reading this wrong, or is it just one exercise per body part?). I sometimes feel that I'm almost over-training hitting them twice a week, but that is with 3-4 exercises per body part. I'm not knocking it, just an observation. How do you feel about it and how do you feel running it.
Regardless, I'm glad you posted this, because I'm always looking for ways to improve and change up my program (+1).
AnonI feel good with it. Yeah you only pick one exercise and you do the sets they tell you in "( )". So when it says (3) Thighs. I'll pick squats and do a warm up set and 3 working sets then move on to the next body part on the list. So you work it just enough to elicit a muscle response and move on. Doing it multiple times a week I feel it might force the body to adapt with growth. Just another angle to shock the body with a different routine approach. After this program is over I think I'll hit a routine 4-Day split where I work that muscle group 1x per week with multiple exercises and sets to failure to further shock my system. I feel my plan with these two programs back to back might get me some renewed growth and body transformation.
Very interesting. I'm looking to change things up in the coming months, so please keep me posted on your progress with this. I'll send you a friend request as well. Thanks!
AnonSure no problem. I just took my stats BW and BF so ill have numbers to support whether it works for me.
